Access Control & Keyless Entry Systems For Businesses
Monitor and Control Entry and Traffic Flow With Access Control Systems
Our door access systems allow you to monitor and control the readers, relays and door position of each door in the system, or all doors simultaneously. If security has been breached anywhere in the system, a designated authority will know precisely where and when. If you are suspicious of a particular employee, your system can report an audit trail of all card reader activities. You can effectively manage and track your company’s visitors, ask the system to email or page someone when a breach occurs, or interface your access control system to your HR database. If security has been breached anywhere in the system, you will be shown precisely where and when at a moment’s notice.

Is a Cloud-Based System or a Network-Based System Best For You?
Before one chooses the brand of system, the decision of having a cloud-based system or a network-based system needs to be made.
Why Cloud Security?
A cloud-based security system allows administrators to access the system from any computer. From anywhere in the world, credentials can be assigned, access can be granted or denied, and activity reports can be generated via a web portal, smart device, or app. This is a far more convenient option than a network-based system, which can be only changed or used onsite while working on the computer on which the security software is installed. A Brivo cloud-based card access system allows business owners, facility directors, and property managers to have all their security managed within one system. With this streamlined approach, security can be monitored anytime, anywhere, or on any device. A cloud-based security system by Secure Lock and Alarm and Brivo allows for direct navigation of all systems on one smart device in an extremely secure environment. Instead of making a huge investment in owning a server, cloud services allow businesses to share server space to reduce costs. Information is stored and managed through a remote third party, which can be accessed through a hosted server in triple redundant T-4 data centers

Network or Local Door Access System
Network-Based Access Control Systems offer many of the same security features as a cloud-based system however there is a considerable difference in how administrators will be able to use the system. In a network system, Multiple properties cannot be accessed unless you own your own server. If you are a company or facility manager with multiple locations, each site will need to be visited to make any changes to the system, add or delete a card, change user access rights, or pull any activity reports. Cameras cannot be tied into a network-based access control system. They will each have to have their own platform. A mobile device cannot be used to open doors, see a quick log of entry, or grant or deny access.

Is the Anti-Passback Feature Right For Your Business?
The anti-passback feature is designed to prevent fraudulent activity in offices, gyms, warehouses or other facilities protected by an Access Control System. It is a setting on the access control system that will prevent a card, fob, or pin code from being used twice to gain access through a door without exiting the monitored door first. This is frequently used in high-security medical situations. We recently installed the anti-passback feature for a room holding the prescription drug cabinet for a small nursing home. The facility owners wanted to verify who was exactly in the room at all times. With this feature, a worker would need to swipe their card to enter the room and swipe to exit the facility. If the same worker were to pass their card to another employee and that employee tried to swipe the card to enter prior to the first user swiping the card to exit then, the system would be triggered. This is referred to as a First In/First Out option. Larger buildings with multiple points of egress may want to restrict which doors are used to exit the building. Anti-passback access control is not the best option for all businesses and we can review those features and benefits when we come do your complimentary estimate.
Security To The Next Level With Photo-badging
Photo-badging allows a company to use their Access Control System and proximity cards as an ID badge as well. This is ideal for companies with many employees or with companies that have an external security desk that monitors employees prior to “swiping” into the interior office space.
