Access Control allows you to control who and when enters a place. A visitor, contractor, employee or contractor may enter the location. They can be walking, driving, or using another form of transportation. They may enter a site, building, room, or cabinet.

To distinguish it from Access Control that blocks people from accessing virtual spaces, we call it physical Access Control. Although its primary purpose is to improve security, physical Access Control systems can also offer other benefits. This includes improved efficiency in your business processes, site management, and building management.

What is an Access Control System?

When we refer to a physical Access Control System, we usually mean an electronic security system. To allow people access to certain areas, they use an identifier like an access card. They can log who accessed which areas and when, and provide valuable data that will help you track the use of your buildings and sites.

Access Control systems are safer than keys.

The easiest method of physical Access Control is mechanical keys but these have some limitations, especially as the company gets bigger. Here are some issues that can arise:

• To make sure a key is not misused, it's crucial to replace any lost keys and make sure everyone who needs access is given new keys to the door.

• Audit trails are not left behind by keys

• Can't tell who has used the key and when.

• Keys can be a problem to manage

• A large number of keys are needed to access rooms and buildings. Best to label them as it's not easy to recall which one is used in what location.

• Increased control and security

• You can remove the risk of using keys manually with the use of electronic access control systems. This will also give you more control.

Who has access control?

You may want to allow automatic access to staff and for contractors or site visitors to report to reception, restrict some areas onsite or only give access to certain areas to specific staff members.

24/7 access for some staff. Contractors and junior employees may not be permitted to enter the building during their regular shift patterns, while senior staff can access it at any time.

Access Control systems allow you to set the parameters for each person, giving you more control. You can also quickly and easily modify them as often as you need. It will also display who was accessed where and at what time, so it is easier to identify who might be involved in an incident.

Access Control Solutions offer a variety of identifiers. Access cards are still the most commonly used identifiers in Access Control systems. If all conditions are met, your card will be presented to the reader.

You have other options, such as:

• Access card, badge or another type of identification tag.

• Password or PIN

• Biometric identifiers (fingerprint, iris)

Every identification method has its pros and cons. The choice of the right method depends on your situation. For example, you might choose one method to identify external doors and another for internal doors.

To increase your security standards, you can combine two methods of identification. This is known as verification. You use one method to identify yourself, and the other to confirm that you are who you say you are. For valuable items, you might ask for access cards to identify people and ask them for their PIN or fingerprint to verify.

Integration can improve efficiency

Different departments often have to be involved when deciding who gets what access. This could include security, HR, IT, and facilities management. These departments often have their own systems that operate independently. This can be inefficient and lead to security risks that are significant.

All systems must be coordinated to ensure maximum security and efficiency. A system that integrates with other systems may be able to connect everything.

Access Control is used in many areas. It controls access to your premises, including emergency exits and door closers.

For easy access, you can install boxes that are vandal proof and keypads to your buildings. If you need to communicate with or see the person you have granted access to, audio and video entries are available.
