| What is an access control system? An access control system is nothing more than a series of devices used to prevent unauthorized people from entering a specific area. Many of us are familiar with the system used at security apartment complexes which allow visitors to "buzz" the persons apartment they are wanting to visit and be allowed in. Access systems can range from these simple setups to high security systems that are used by major corporations and the government. What does an access system provide me that a security alarm can't? Although the concept behind an alarm system is similar to that of an access system, in practice the two are VERY different. An alarm system generally only works when it is armed, and to prevent the alarm from going off the system must be disarmed at a keypad or through a wireless key. But there is no real physical of any door aside from the door lock. An access system, however, runs 24/7 without needing to be armed and disarmed by a person when they want to enter an area. Through the use of various devices, the system either grants or denies access to specific areas depending on the rights assigned by the system administrator, much like a corporate networks computers. With recent advances in technologies, users of access systems can use proximity key cards, magnetic cards, key ring fobs, and a multitude of biometric readers. My company already uses an access system at our facilities, but we need more devices / cards. Can you provide these? Generally yes, although some systems are very proprietary. Please contact us directly for a consultation call to determine your needs, and what our company can and cannot provide. For more detailed questions, please contact our sales department directly. |
