Access Control

Electronic Alarms can provide Access Control systems to meet any requirements. When designing an access control system it is important to assess business objectives and the users particular security requirements and methodically design the installation of the system based upon a set of objectives.

An Access Control system controls movement of people around a building or site by locking doors using electric locks. A person then has to unlock the door by either typing a code at a keypad, using a card in a reader or some other access device (Eg. fingerprint reader or intercom system).

These systems are primarily used to segregate public and private areas. Where a building has a mixture of public and employee’s (i.e. a bank) it can also help protect employee's from potential intruders. Access control although not primarily designed for security adds a very visible deterrent to the potential intruder.
