Why Do You Need Access Control Systems?
Businesses of all sizes always need more security. Your business premises could contain any money you made in your safe or similar containment unit. Not to mention your products are also vulnerable to theft without additional security methods. Finally, thieves can even abscond with your equipment, especially valuable electronics such as computers and laptops.
Aside from preventing theft, access control mechanisms also help contain employee movements. This can help streamline operations processes as people who aren’t authorized to be in a certain area won’t be able to access it. This also prevents intruders from easily navigating sensitive areas of your business premises.
Types of Access Control Systems
There are several types of access control systems you should consider when beefing up your company’s security. Their differences lie in how they authenticate if someone should be able to open a door or not. Some of the most common access controls include:
Barcode Scanning
Barcode scanning systems rely on a unique optical scanner that analyses a barcode on an ID or similar object. So long as an employee has their barcoded ID, they can enter the protected door.
Magnetic Strips
Magnetic strip scanning involves a card identical to those used by hotels. The card or ID has a magnetic strip that the door analyses before allowing entry. The magnetic strip can be susceptible to damage from magnetic and electrical currents.
Biometric Access
Biometric access relies on scanning unique features of an individual, such as fingerprints, palms, irises, and faces. A computer will then match the feature to a database of those allowed access.
Depending on your need and the scope of your business, one form of access control may be more appropriate for your situation. Legacy Solutions can help you decide which access control system is right for you.
