Access Control Systems
In todays security minded climate, safety is at the forefront of every responsible building owner to ensure the well being of people and building fabric alike. An access control system can therefore prove to be a very worthwhile and sensible investment to ensure this safety of property and people.
An access control system is usually an electronic based system made up of the various integral parts to form a complete system to protect the property in question. The system can embody, card readers, proximity readers, keypads, swipe cards and bio-metric readers, which in turn will send a signal to the apparatus locking the door. This could be a magnet, electric lock or an electric strike to name but a few.

Access control systems can vary in complexity from a simple keypad and electric strike, to a very sophisticated system, which not only controls the ingress and egress of traffic, but also records and times that constant flow of movement. The actual system itself can be designed to suit almost any building, whether large or small.
Access control systems can also be designed and used with turnstiles, barriers, and gates. CCTV camera’s can also be added to a system to allow further enhancement by filming the flow of the various traffic using the access point.
With most access control systems safeguards can be designed into the systems depending in the level of surveillance and security required. For instance a system can be designed to enable one door to be opened, but the remaining doors to be remained locked until a further code or initiation is used to allow further progress.
However the installation of an access control system, however sophisticated, should not simply be relied upon to provide a high level of security. The system is designed as the name suggests to control the flow of access not stop it. It is wise therefore, when seeking to install a system to consult the various industry professionals to agree the level of surveillance required, but more importantly agree the overall level of security required, perhaps by using a mechanical interface of some description, during the hours of darkness, or when the property is unoccupied.
