BENEFITS OF HAVING AN ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
Access control systems serve a critical role in any sensitive area, allowing only the right persons to enter at a given time. Multiple configurations cater to various budgets and needs, ranging from the simplest card reader to the now commonly used fingerprint terminals, to the algorithm-enabled facial recognition terminal. Hikvision’s many devices – such as controllers, card readers, turnstiles, face terminals and door locks – offer you a complete and secure access control system.
Commercial properties often have a lot of people moving in and out. Office buildings, in particular, have large numbers of people showing up daily for work, clients arriving for meetings or any number of guests throughout the day. So how do you keep track of all of these people while ensuring the safety of your employees, their property, and your business?
On top of basic functions, Hikvision hardware extends to advanced access management through anti-passback, dual authentications, interlocking, facial authentication and more. And the professional management software makes device registration, management, and personnel registration much easier. Access control systems have many diversified forms. Perhaps you have an exterior gate that requires a code to get onto the property, or maybe you have keycards that need to be swiped to enter specific areas within your business.
Here are the benefits an access control system can provide to your business: All too often, we see news, stories of a compromised perimeter at a business that puts everybody on the premises in danger. These situations weigh heavily on many employees’ minds and can be a cause for concern. However, knowing that the building and possibly even the parking lot are secured with an access control system will reduce these anxieties. And employees that are able to stop worrying about external threats are able to focus on their work and be more productive on their workdays.
Unauthorized and anonymous access to personal belongings is a perfect situation for thieves. Unattended vehicles in unsupervised parking lots are much more likely to be broken into than those behind a secure fence. Access control systems work to keep these nefarious characters out of areas in which they shouldn’t be in the first place. This includes parking lots as well as your business itself. A secured door protects the equipment in your office along with the information stored on your computers.
Our work schedules can vary from day to day. This includes the time we arrive as well as the time we leave. A singular security system with standard door locks makes it difficult for someone to access the building outside of standard work hours. Access control systems allow your employees to securely enter the building premises, either as the first to arrive or the last to leave. They won’t need to disarm an alarm or call a manager in order to access pre-approved areas.
Traditional keys have their time and place, but the scope of commercial buildings often makes them obsolete. An access control system will save the hassle of making copies of keys for every employee that needs access to certain areas. And then when that employee leaves, you won’t need to either reclaim the key or redo the locks. These keys are easy to lose and easy for thieves to duplicate. Keycards can be deactivated, passwords can be changed, and permissions can be revoked quickly and easily if the need arises.
There are many benefits to knowing exactly who enters your business premise and when. First of all, any security breaches or thefts can be traced to who was in the building at the time. This greatly helps in finding the person responsible. The second benefit is that it provides accountability for your employees. You can know the employees who are showing up on time and who need a little encouragement to get out of bed in the morning.
Does your business have multiple access points or buildings? This can be difficult when it comes to traditional keys. You don’t want your employees to carry a whole set of keys simply to get into the various buildings. Moving from area to area can be essential for particular employees, and making this movement much easier will improve their experience throughout the day.
The bottom line is that you get to choose who goes where, and when. This is advantageous for keeping out criminals, but also for granting access to employees that need it. These systems are just as effective at keeping the wrong people out as they are at allowing the right individuals in.
