Immediate Benefits of
Access Control Systems
When you are thinking about security for your property, whether you run a large business or small, public or private, you want to have something that will work for your needs! Here at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we want to help ensure that your property is safe, properly accessible and protected. We offer a variety of access control systems, and you’ll love some of the immediate benefits you will enjoy once installed by our professionals. Some of these benefits include:
Security
Access control goes beyond security that you can get with a quality lock! While proper locks are important, access control not only restricts entry to the property, but can also limit entry to certain areas within your property. This kind of increased restriction keeps sensitive or private information secure.
Peace of Mind
The right type of access control systems will give you peace of mind! No more worries about copied or lost keys gaining entry to your property. Access control keys or other forms of access control are incredibly difficult to duplicate and can be deactivated if an employee loses their card, making it useless. Instead of worries, you will experience peace of mind knowing that your property is safer and more secure.
Beneficial Information
Access control systems like ours give you a wealth of information that can be helpful. You can tell which areas are accessed at which times and by whom. You can also be alerted if someone tries to access a restricted area.
System Types
Types of Access Control Systems for Commercial Buildings
Modern commercial access control systems can be configured using multiple credential technologies depending on the security needs of your facility.
Common types of access control credentials include:
Keycard and Key Fob Access Control
Traditional keycard and fob systems use RFID credentials that employees scan at door readers to unlock doors. These systems are widely used in offices, hospitals, and universities because they are reliable, affordable, and easy to manage.
PIN Code Keypad Access
PIN keypads allow users to enter a numeric code to gain access. These are commonly used for secondary access points or in combination with other credentials for multi-factor authentication.
Mobile Credential Access Control
Mobile credentials allow employees to use their smartphone as their building credential. Credentials are stored securely in an app and communicate with door readers via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Biometric Access Control
Biometric readers use fingerprint, facial recognition, or iris scanning technology to authenticate users. These systems are commonly deployed in high-security areas where identity verification is critical.
Cloud-Based Access Control Systems
Cloud access control platforms allow administrators to manage users, credentials, and door permissions remotely from a browser or mobile device.

Access Control System FAQ
What is a commercial access control system?
A commercial access control system manages and restricts who can enter specific doors, gates, or secure areas within a building. Users are granted access using credentials such as keycards, PIN codes, biometric readers, or mobile credentials stored on a smartphone.
Every entry and exit is logged within the system, allowing organizations to track activity and maintain detailed access records.
What is the difference between cloud access control and traditional systems?
Traditional access control systems store data on a local server or on-site controller.
Cloud-based access control systems store data in a secure cloud platform, allowing administrators to manage doors, users, and activity logs remotely through a web browser or mobile application.
Are biometric access control systems secure?
Yes. Biometric access control systems use unique biological identifiers such as fingerprints or facial recognition to verify user identity.
Because biometric traits are extremely difficult to duplicate, these systems are considered one of the most secure access control technologies available.
What is a video door intercom system?
A video door intercom system allows staff to see and communicate with visitors before granting building access.
Most IP intercom systems include a door station with a camera and microphone, an interior desk station or touchscreen monitor, and mobile app access for remote unlocking.
What is a gate access control system?
A gate access control system integrates a motorized gate with an electronic access control platform that allows administrators to manage vehicle entry using credentials such as keycards, keypads, or mobile access.
What is electrified locking hardware?
Electrified locking hardware includes locks and door devices that connect directly to an access control system.
This allows doors to be locked or unlocked remotely while recording entry activity.
How many access control doors does i-Tech install annually?
i-Tech Security and Network Solutions installs approximately 3,000 access control doors annually across healthcare, government, education, and commercial facilities throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
All systems are pre-built and tested in-house before deployment to minimize disruption to daily operations.
