For the best office security solution, business owners and facilities managers operating an office or a building, need to have the ability to limit unauthorized entry to their properties. 

Access control systems provide the ability to protect employees and businesses against theft, property damage or bodily harm. Therefore your office and building security system should have integrated access control to control access to a single point of entry or protect multiple points of entry.

What is an Access Control System?

Access Control Systems can be customized to accommodate any form of complex security for an office or building via single entry door access, or multiple doors located across a building, or a compound of buildings.

With Sonitrol Managed Access System, we manage and monitor your office building security access control system 24 hours a day from our Central Monitoring Station. 

We can notify you if a door remains propped open, or if a invalid user attempts to gain access into an area that they do not have permission to enter. 

All of your information is housed in our secured environment with redundant back up should it be needed. 

With a shared, configured managed access system you can have total control of your system using our easy-to-use and secure web portal that allows you to make changes to your access system such as changing the access rights of employees, visitors, and contractors in your place of business. 

Access cards, or fobs, or biometrics are used to grant access to restricted areas, but the flexibility of having professional Sonitrol customer support agents manage it as well.

What is needed for a Access Control System?

A simple access control system consists of an electronic door lock, a card reader and a access card or key fob or biometrics. 

We install the “technology brains” of the system which then links to our secured Central Monitoring Station. This easy-to-use security system eliminates the need for an on-site computer with software. With access to the Internet business owners can receive real-time event information when needed or just contact the Central Monitoring Station and they can provide any information you need.

Many business owners look for solutions that can help track and monitor access to key areas such as lobby, office, supply room or shipping and receiving and other sensitive areas. Select a system that can be tailored to the needs of the particular business.

Sonitrol’s Access Control System also integrates with our security system. When entering the building just present you access card or key fob, and as long as you have been granted permission, the system automatically disarms. You can have the system automatically arm the security system and lock down the doors at a specified time. This eliminates the use of codes and PIN numbers.

When considering an access control system for your business, consult with a Sonitrol security consultant to thoroughly evaluate your current operations and physical setting. The consultant can help you make smart and informed decisions about designing a cost-effective access control system that enhances your safety and workplace security.

The office security systems you use should be flexible enough to scale with your business as it expands. Many property owners boost their security capabilities by adding hosted video to monitor their critical access points.
