DO I NEED AN ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM?

The main function of an access control system is to grant discretionary access to a building or a single office or area only to those who are entitled to be there.

For years, a traditional deadbolt lock and a good key were the only way to control access. Nowadays, however, our needs have changed and the focus is on smarter solutions. We want to be able to control everyone who goes through a door or turnstile, as well as integrate anti-intrusion devices, even automating entire facilities and controlling workflows.

Keys are becoming a thing of the past, replaced by electronic access control systems which are controlled by a local network or in the cloud. These systems are a quick and inexpensive way of granting access to people who have authorisation, while denying it to those who don’t.
