With security becoming a more complex environment and criminals becoming smarter, more and more businesses are turning away from conventional methods of security and looking for more integrated and customizable options.
As a business owner, it’s your job to ensure the safety and security of your business and your employees at all times. So how can you best protect your property and everyone working for you?
One of the most popular security trends is using keyless entry via a Managed Access Control Security System. Managed Access Control allows you to permit entry to certain employees at certain times of day. For example, if you have rotating shifts, day staff will only have access between the hours they work. It can be that specific. The ID cards or fobs issued to the employees for their keyless entry are unique to the assigned owner, so you can identify who was there and when.
Having a Managed Access Control system allows you to reduce your overall risk and liability, because keeping track of everyone coming in and out, where and why, is an integral part of a good security plan. It gives you visibility into your operations should there be a theft or incident.
There are lots of different Managed Access Control systems, while they vary in style and type, they all do the same thing on a base level - restrict access to those who are not pre-approved.
The benefits of a Control Managed Access Control system are:
- Keyless entry and exit reduces employee triggered false alarms
- Provides detailed reports for both entry and exit
- Locked doors can be on a pre-programmed schedule
- Eliminates the need to change locks or re-keying
- Can limit access to sensitive areas
- Reduces the need for security personnel on-site
- Accommodates multiple schedules
- Allows temporary visitor access
- Controls can be set for parking lots, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, etc.
- Decreases your overall risk and liability
