In this day and age, theft and break ins are an everyday occurrence. For business owners, keeping your employees and sensitive company data safe is imperative to the functionality of your business. Access Control is revolutionising the way businesses grant access to their building and restricted areas. It is helping to keep employees safe by only granting admittance to the building through use of a card or biometric thumb print. It also only allows authorised employees into certain areas of the building.
Back in the old days, companies used to employ a guard to watch doors that only certain staff members were allowed into; however, what happened if the guard had to use the toilet, or go to lunch, or simply wasn’t paying attention? With access control, there is no room for human error.
Access control can keep track of who is going into what area and when. It can also keep people from tailgating into restricted areas by use of an infrared system or turnstile. In the event that someone else passes through the doorway, admins will be alerted and an alarm will go off. This ensures that only permitted people are allowed onto the premises or into a restricted area, and will help keep employees and sensitive information safe.
Access to areas can be granted through key cards or thumb prints. Employers can restrict which employees are allowed into certain areas. They can even set up access to areas by certain days, time, and grant access so many times a year.
