Access control systems are a great way to improve your building’s security. It will help you control and monitor who comes in and out of your building. Access control can also be more convenient than locks and keys, as keycards are much more easily replaced. If you’re considering access control for your business’s building, here are some factors that might help you decide.

Size of the Building

The size of your building is an important factor in deciding whether you need an access control system. If your building is rather large with many different entrances, access control is a good idea to help keep the building secure. Additionally, if your building has various sections that need to be secured, access control is a great way to section off access.

Number of Employees

The more employees you have, the more access control systems make sense. The creation and distribution of keycards is much easier than the creation of individual keys. Keycards will also be easier to keep track of than keys, with access quickly turned off if an employee loses a keycard or leaves the company. If you have a large number of employees at your company, an access control system can help keep track of their access and easily grant it.

Current Security Equipment

If you already have a security system, you should consider how access control can work with it. An access control system can be easily integrated with your current system. You can even integrate the system with your alarm, sounding your alarm when an unauthorized visitor enters the building. Your access control can also integrate with your surveillance system, tracking each individual who enters the building.

Number of Visitors

If your business has a large number of visitors and clients coming in and out of your building, access control is a great way to keep your building secure. It will be easy to track who is entering your building and improve security to keep unauthorized visitors out of the building. If you have a large number of visitors and want to keep your building secure, an access control system is a great option.

Varied Access Needs

If your access needs go beyond opening and closing a front door, access control is a great option because it is customizable. You might have some employees you want to grant access during the day, and a night staff that you only want to grant access to at night. You might also have certain parts of your building that have limited access to certain employees and other parts that everyone will have access to. If your access needs are varied in this way, you can customize your access control system to suit your needs.
