Access Control Systems

At i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, our top priority is helping you keep your business safe, and one of the ways that we can do that is by offering high-quality access control systems. To put it simply, access control systems are designed to let you keep track of who goes where in your facility, and to place limits on who can access which areas. In this article, we’ll go over more about how access control systems keep your business secure so that you can make an informed decision on the matter. Control Who Enters and Exits. One of the ways that access control systems improve your business’ security is by collecting information on who enters your facility at what time, and when they leave again. In many of these systems, employees can simply scan in with a key card, which generates a timestamp in the system and allows you to grant or restrict access to different areas. You can similarly monitor other visitors, including customers, employee family members, and delivery people to ensure that they stay where they are supposed to. Protect Your Data. Access control systems can also protect your company’s digital assets, not just the physical building. Our access control systems allow you to manage what data your employees can access, and to prevent visitors from being able to access confidential information. Coordinate Your Building’s Other Systems. Lastly, some of the access control systems that we offer are so sophisticated that they can even instruct the building’s lighting and HVAC systems to turn on or off when necessary. If the control system sees that people are working in an area of the building, it can make sure that they have enough light and the right temperature to do so, while if it sees that no one is there it can kill the lights and save that energy.

There have been many advances in access control systems over the past few years. If you haven’t considered how a newer system could benefit your company, it may be time to do some research by scheduling a consultation with a security consulting firm. The right system can be a valuable investment and save you money in the long run. Here are a few of the benefits that you could enjoy by updating to one of the newer access control systems. You can simplify access control without needing to be constantly observant. With automated access control systems that are fully integrated, you need only respond to breaches and other concerns rather than stay glued to several video monitors. It is easy to add new personnel and remove those leaving. No more needing to change the locks or hope that your employees haven’t made extra keys so they can return weeks or months from now and cause trouble. Access control systems are easy to manage and cost-effective. With cloud-based access control, you can check into your system at any time, from any place. Most companies experience lower labor costs related to access security. These are just a few of the benefits that your company can experience when upgrading.

Controlling the movement of people inside and outside of your building is important. Your safety and security are dependent upon it. Many different types of security elements aid in heightening your security. Access control systems are the best for containing the movement of people. There are many different parts to an access control system, with proximity readers being a key component. In this article, we will review exactly what a proximity reader is and how to use it. Simply put, a proximity reader allows you to enter a certain area because you’ve been given access to do so. There are many different types of access readers; however, we’re going to focus on the card reader. Card readers are heavily used in locations such as hospitals, government buildings, and more. For example, in Greensboro, North Carolina, i-Tech Security and Network Solutions completed an integrated access control system installation at a large event venue where proximity readers were used throughout the location. Site administrators will enroll new employees’ information into the access control manager and will be able to compartmentalize access if required. This process can be completed quickly and efficiently. A unique proximity card will be issued to each new employee with their respective access restrictions on it. When the card is held in front of the reader, a coil inside the card activates the microchip. Each microchip contains a unique identification code. If the code is programmed to work at the reader, access will be granted. This is all achieved through the reader’s use of radio frequency. When choosing your card reader, something to consider is range. For increased range, a larger antenna is needed, so a larger range will require a larger reader. Something else to remember is that if you’re using a thin card, such as an ID card, the inner coil will be small. Due to the smaller coil, the range will also be smaller. How does security fare with proximity readers? The security features are strong. Having a dedicated team to monitor your access parameters is strongly recommended. It’s also very important to have a professional team design and install your system. Hackers and other outside threats will get very creative in attempts to compromise systems through passive vulnerabilities. Here’s a video that shows how an outside threat can compromise a system in under sixty seconds. This serves as a reminder of why finding a professional access control installation company is so critical. Every component of your access control system needs to be strategically designed and installed. A proximity reader is just one small piece of the overall access infrastructure. It a critical component, because it is the one that gives direct access.
