It’s All in the Cards

The most common forms of keyless access control are keycards or fobs. Your employees simply need to pull out their cards and wave (or slide) them at sn electronic scanner, and the doors will unlock. No need for an actual key. This is also a convenient and effective way to keep out visitors who should not have regular access to your building.

Your security system can also be programmed to allow key card/fob access to specific doors. For instance, perhaps your executive offices are in one area of the building. Then, only those with approved access will be able to open those doors. The same is true for times of the day. You can restrict access to the building in the evening for all but a few specific employees. Another benefit to key cards is that they can be deactivated remotely and immediately to prohibit access even at a moment’s notice.

Private PIN Codes

How many times have your forgotten your keys? It happens to everyone. You forget your wallet, your purse, or you lock the keys in the car. The same thing can happen with a key fob or key card. But with a PIN code, it’s always with you. Just punch in the numbers, and the doors will unlock. The PIN code method is like a keycard. It allows you to open doors, secure rooms, and limit access to certain areas of your building.

Occasionally, an employee may forget the PIN code. But the solution is easy and free – no need to replace anything. Reset the PIN, and your employee gains access again. Paired with security cameras, both PIN code access and key cards are excellent ways to monitor and restrict entry of your building.

Futuristic Biometric Access

The future is now – and so are biometric access controls! If you want the ultimate in commercial access control, then fingerprint pads, retinal scans, and facial recognition are the ideal solutions. And they are virtually error-proof. You’ll never need to worry about anyone sharing access to the building with a borrowed keycard or PIN code. Biometric scanning eliminates that problem by quickly comparing a live scan with one that is in your database. These advanced and reliable biometric security solutions integrate with your current building’s control system, so you can easily manage everything through one system.
