Which Business Access Control Is Best For You?
Access control systems can be a big part of your physical security for your business. Your system can use just one type of technology or a few that we can customize to your unique needs. The Access control system has a range of complexity and sophistication depending on your security needs. It can also help you closely regulate who comes in and out of your business.
Common Types of Access Control Security Systems and Best Fits
Card access is ideal for recreational environments like gyms and spas as well as office space. The cards can be programmed to only grant access to certain rooms or levels with a singular card reader.
Biometric access control is basically using a body part to uniquely identify a user. Fingerprints, retinal scans, and hand prints make for rock-solid access control that can’t be transferred. If your business sells valuable items, like a jewelry store, biometric access control is worth the investment.
Proximity readers are similar to card access controls but they can read several types of cards and tags. They are ideal for businesses that frequently use vehicles like logistics/warehousing, because they use long ranges to identify vehicles and can used indoors and outdoors.
Magnetized stripe cards are used in every application from schools to airports. Magnet stripe access control is most commonly used in employee IDs in organizations of all sizes because it’s easy to make a magnetic stripe card into one single-purpose access card. The cards can also be encoded right in your own facility
