The best way to do it is to make sure that your building security system is up to date with the latest technology available. If you don’t have an access control system Sevan Locks & Doors in Seattle, Washington can create custom solutions specific for your business. 

What Is Access Control?

An access control system (ACS) is a form of protection used to supervise the entrance or the inside of your business. It manages who can access certain areas of your property and how much access your employees have. When it comes to safety you can never be too careful ensuring that your property is covered 24/7. More and more places are using this kind of surveillance, including: 

  • Apartment buildings
  • Commercial buildings
  • Schools 
  • Churches
  • Restaurants
  • Banks and credit unions
  • Hospitals and medical offices
  • Government agencies and law enforcement 
  • And many more

Different kinds of businesses have different needs for access control, depending on their size and security levels. 

What Does It Do?

Technically speaking an ACS is used to secure physical access points to a building or other area. This technology can give you the ability to remotely access the system from your electronic device, manage your settings and lock and unlock doors. You can also control who has access to your property, add or delete users, check valid or invalid credentials and much more. As long as you have access to the internet you can control everything with a click. You can easily change settings, identify and authenticate users, give or deny access to the property or certain areas. 

How Does It Work?

Modern access control systems are highly advanced, including different kinds of hardware and software to verify access. Examples of it include but are not limited to key cards, QRcodes, fingerprint recognition, personal identification numbers (PINs), biometric scanners and so on.  The beauty of it is that this kind of wireless technology is operated completely from an app on your phone. You can combine our integration services and identification systems with a CCTV system to have full access and control of your work place 24/7. 

What Are The Benefits of Access Control?

Access control can really make a difference in the way you protect your business. First, it is very easy to use and you can access it from any device, anywhere in the world and at any time, as long as you have an internet connection. Because of unlimited remote access it minimizes potential risks of intrusion, vandalism and theft. This system is also affordable, cutting the costs of replacing locks and keys when an employee leaves, as well as saving on security guards on site.
