Access
Control Security Systems
As the most technologically advanced security
system available, access control security integrates
a variety of mechanisms providing an extremely reliable
and foolproof security system. This type of system protects
large companies employing hundreds or thousands of individuals
from allowing unauthorized personnel access to restricted
areas of the property. Prominent Phoenix-area businesses
utilize access control security to maintain the integrity
of vital information regarding their company's financial
or operating protocol. In addition, using access control
allows a company to keep track of exactly who enters
and who leaves the building.
Access control security effectively regulates authorized
entrance through doors, into elevators and parking facilities.
This is accomplished using several methods:
| • |
Smart cards implanted with
identification codes such as PIN numbers |
| • |
Proximity cards needing
to be held near a sensor to be read |
| • |
Retinal scanners |
| • |
Fingerprint detection |
| • |
Input of passcodes into
keypads |
In addition, an access control system can be set up
to open more than one entrance within the area it controls.
This is helpful when few employees work in larger buildings
and already have permission to access all areas of the
property.
Benefits of this high-tech security system include:
| • |
Elimination of keys--no
added expense in supplying or replacing lost keys |
| • |
Accurate and organized
method to track attendance and hours worked of
employees |
| • |
Effortless integration
with existing security devices |
| • |
Initiates quick "lock-downs"
of buildings in which an emergency or violent
act is occuring |
| • |
Use of identification badges
for visitors and employees which reduces admittance
of unauthorized individuals |
| • |
Offering a computer-based
system of security that immediately reveals imperfections
in the system |
Keypads also provide security against unapproved access
by allowing only those who are familiar with a certain
set of numbers to input this number before entering
a building or room. Unlike a key-based lock, keypads
cannot be "picked" or unlocked in anyway.
Only those having knowledge of a special passcode can
gain access to the entrance secured by a keypad security
system. |
