Access Control
Access control is a system which allows for the controlled access of certain points through the use of keytags or key cards. A card access system allows the building owner or manager to track the movement of people throughout the building. With access control, employers can monitor and restrict the movement of employees and clients within their organization by creating entry barriers for some and giving temporary or full access to others. The entire system can be simply controlled through a computer based software which is remotely accessible and fully integrated with an alarm system. The data can be stored for weeks.
Access control often utilizes proximity cards and card readers instead of the traditional locks and keys. An access system using proximity tags will allow for electronic tracking and more efficient access.
Proximity cards allow entrance to restricted areas through a contactless wave of their key tag over a proximity card reader as opposed to sliding a key card through a card reader. Proximity cards are a form of access control designed as a more modern take on the traditional key and key tag or lock. By installing a proximity card, system users are able to replace any keys with one small plastic proximity card that is approximately the size of a credit card. This allows access to only certain people. Proximity cards have become popular for many residential and commercial buildings with key tags common to entrances as a means to provide added security. All of SafeTech's Key Tags and proximity cards can be linked up with SafeTech's alarm systems. 
Card readers act as locks for electronic card access security systems. Usually located close to or on doors, they restrict access to certain areas allowing entry to only those who hold the correct key card. By presenting their key tag or card to the reader an individual can instantly gain access to a restricted area if they have the correct smart card. Each individual tag or card can be set up to unique security specifications allowing the owners the ability to determine how much access each employee or client is granted. Card readers can also monitor the times employees and clients enter certain areas and can help monitor employee attendance. Card reader systems can be controlled computer based software system and can be fully integrated with a SafeTech alarm system.
Access control can also include physical barriers, such as those you see in subways. Physical barriers prevent access to restricted areas through the use of security guards, a ticket collection person, doorman, turnstiles, and fences. They often incorporate more than one of each, even including the use of key cards. In combination with proximity access, physical barriers can create the ultimate access control system and are very effective in controlling movement in a certain areas and in allowing those who are authorized to have access without facing much hassle.
Access control can be used for a variety of reasons, including keeping track of employee attendance and of course to prevent access to certain areas by unauthorized people or the public. With each form of access control installed at every entrance and connected to a computer software system, management can be aware of where staff are at all times and if they are performing their assigned duties.
Access control is an effective form of protection against threats and unwanted visitors to any premises and when used in combination with other forms of security, such as surveillance or alarm systems, can go a long way in preventing the loss of anything of importance. Access control serves a variety of purposes and can be utilized in many different ways making it a very versatile form of security.
The system will provide the following benefits:
·Payroll Function
oUse your access system software to verify employee attendance
·No More Keys or locks
oConveniently add or remove card holder codes from system software.
·Ultimate Flexibility
oEach door is separately configured. You will decide who to grant or restrict access too and control the specific date and time of those entries.
oThere are many different combinations of access control that can be used, so can fit any needs
·Investigation Tool
oKeep track of who enters and leaves your premises
oSystem access software will watch people, place and time, and work wonderfully in tandem with video surveillance cameras.
