FAQs
Access control refers to the practice of permitting or restricting individuals’ physical access to a building, site or even to specific areas and rooms. These systems can be applied to any physically contained points, such as doors, gates, barriers, fences, turnstiles and even elevators. They can be simple standalone systems controlling one or two doors, or they can be an integrated network that covers multiple buildings.
As the name implies, an access control system controls who enters a site/building and specific areas within those premises and at what time, barring unauthorized visitors without impeding the flow of those who are authorized.
STANLEY Security is proud to provide multiple options when it comes to finding the best access control solution for your business, ranging from door intercoms and card and proximity tokens to biometric and facial recognition from leading manufacturers.
Your business needs access control if you have employees, suppliers or other visitors and you want to control the entrant’s access a certain location, room, area or site, or limit that access to certain times or days.
Preventing unauthorized access to a site helps protect your people, property and assets from damage or theft. Additionally, it may also act as a safety measure, preventing people from going near a potentially dangerous area or equipment.
Access control systems can consist of:
- Swipe-card door lock system, fob or RFID readers
- Touch screens or keypads
- Remote access or smart locks
- Mobile credentials
You can combine technologies within the management systems for increased reliability and convenience.
When it comes to managing your access control system, STANLEY Security provides multiple options. Depending on what’s best for your business, we can provide either a software- or web-based management application, which your team can use to easily manage your access control security. Or, you can delegate administration of your access control system to our team of experienced professionals.
A proximity system is a fob, card or other device which uses encrypted RFID technology. When the device is presented to the reader, the reader passes the device’s code to the access controller. The controller compares the data being presented with that held in the system’s database and then permits or denies access accordingly. The data can be very specific, only permitting access to that door to that person at a set date/time.
