Isn’t that what Access Control boils down to? The short answer is “Yes,” but the right answer is “that barely gets you in the game.”
Don’t be fooled by panels out there that can lock and unlock doors for you and nothing else. Because we know from experience that sophisticated, informed customers are going to want so much more. Features such as:
National Security Escalation Levels
Secure access from anywhere in the world.
Intuitive software, easy to use.
Importable CAD drawings.
Animated icons.
Unlimited scalability
Video Surveillance Integration
Time and Attendance Integration
Biometric Readers
Encrypted Contactless Readers
Secure, Reliable, Robust Head-In Equipment
Smart Cards with Point of Sale Capability
Badging Stations for on-site badge printing.
Networked panels with a central database.
Customizable IF, THEN high-security sequencing.
As you can see, there is a lot more to the art of access control above and beyond locking and unlocking doors. Doors that have to be tied to your engineered fire alarm system as well so people can egress the building in an emergency. And yes, we find code violations like this frequently where the integration to the fire alarm system was not accomplished, endangering lives.
Make sure you entrust your safety to the best trained staff around. Make sure you entrust your people to Arcom Systems.
