It determines who enters the area, how the access is controlled, and what technology or equipment is used to make the access happen. An access control system can range from something simple, such a fob access to a larger and more sophisticated security solution using biometrics.
The best managed access control systems are integrated with other security devices and are designed to seamlessly support a larger security system, such as; Verified Alarms, CCTV, and 24/7 remote monitoring.
Controlled access is most efficient when its introduced as part of a multi-layered defense. Access control can be integrated with other core aspects to create a seamless solution to protect your staff, buildings and assets while helping you save time, reduce administration overheads and react more quickly to required changes.
The right managed access control system cannot only protect your staff, buildings and assets, they can also save time and money.
Sonitrol's Access Control Security is not only integrated with all our other security technologies, but our Central Monitoring Station manages the integrated access control.
Sonitrol access control is unlike other conventional alarm company access control in the following ways - so we recommend you be aware of the differences before you buy:
Sonitrol is a fully integrated security system so access doors can be programmed to be open on certain shifts. If our intrusion system is armed the doors will not unlock. This means if employees do not show up for work the doors will not unlock until the security system is disarmed. If employees leave early and arm the security system the doors will lock.
Different employees can have different access levels. Employees who are authorized to open the facility will be allowed access and be able to disarm the security system. Employees who are not authorized to open the facility will not be allowed access to the facility when the security system is armed.
With a phone call to our central monitoring station staff you can make changes to the access system, at any time, add employees, delete employees, change access levels and door locking/unlocking shifts.
You'll benefit from having your mechanical locks and keys replaced with electronic locks, badges, fobs or cards and readers and that will give you a lot of control over the security of the entire system.
