What are the Benefits of Business Access Systems 

Access control systems offer a number to commercial premises of all different sizes. By restricting access to authorised personnel they enhance both security and operational efficiency. Irrespective of whether you choose a key card, fob, pin code or biometric system, access control will provide you with a reliable and flexible solution for managing who is able to gain access to all areas of your property. 

By limiting entry to authorised personnel only a business or school is able to monitor access in real time, generate activity logs, and quickly update permissions as staff roles change. It will also reduce the need for traditional locks and keys, which in turn can lower maintenance costs and make it easier for staff and authorised visitors to move around your building. No matter whether you manage a small office, educational facility  or a large industrial site, an access control system offers peace of mind, streamlined entry, and improved site management.

As well as restricting entry to your premises our systems can also be adapted to control entry to specific areas of a site. This is perfect if you have different levels of security clearance for staff members and visitors. The access control system we supply can be applied to all manner of physical entry points such as doors, gates, barriers, fences and turnstiles. When you install an effective business access control system you will help guarantee the security of both your staff and property. 

Access control systems can also be extremely cost effective. By automating entry points, they reduce or even eliminate the need for manned security at doors and gates, which will help you significantly lower labour costs. Access control systems provide 24-hour protection, ensuring continuous monitoring and control even outside normal working hours, weekends, or holidays. 

Access control also provides a scalable solution that can easily adapt to new staff or layout changes without major additional expense should your business experience growth. A combination of  security with efficiency, means that access control systems deliver long-term value, making them a smart investment for organisations of all different sizes.

What Different Types of Access Control System Are There? 

Here at Security Control Systems our comprehensive range of high quality access control systems means we can cater for the specific needs of the individual client.  From basic stand-alone systems right through to hi-tech cloud-based options we have a solution for every eventuality. So, whether you are looking to control access to a solitary building or a number of different locations we can help. Some of the wide range of access control options we regularly deliver to our extensive client base include: :

Basic Keypad Systems: A basic keypad system is a simple effective method for controlling access to your premises, With a keypad system anyone wishing to enter your premises will be required to punch in a numerical code. This type of system is quite often fitted to barriers and doors.  

Swipe Card Systems: This system allows clients to restrict access by only issuing swipe cards to authorised personnel. 

While thought of as slightly older types of system in some quarters, these systems can still deliver an effective and affordable solution for clients who only require a basic level of security.

Proximity Systems: A proximity system, which uses a key fob or card reader at the point of access, removes the need for physical contact and is another very popular choice when it comes to access control. However, this will require some management when it comes to 

Keeping track of who has cards and fobs. 

Biometric Systems: One of the more advanced options biometric systems were once considered expensive. However, over time they have become much more affordable. Based around fingerprint and retina scanning biometric systems are the perfect solution for organisations with multiple locations.
