Choosing To Invest In Security

When you own a business, you have two choices. You can either decide to invest money in replacing stolen goods, or to invest money in a nice security system. When I first started my business, I decided to ignore security measures altogether, which caused me to net a loss for the year. However, after a suggestion from my mentor, I decided that it might be wise to install a nice security system. You wouldn't believe how much better things got. Within a few weeks, theft was almost completely eliminated. My blog is all about helping you to tighten up security measures.

Your Questions Answered About Access Control Security Systems

by Victoria George

Does your business involve using multiple keys to enter various rooms in the building? If you provide keys to your employees and they have a habit of misplacing the keys, consider a different method for securing the doors. A more advanced way to secure doors is to get an access control security system installed for unlocking doors. By opting for an access control security system, you can get rid of the need for using keys altogether, as well as enjoy other benefits. If you are not sure about investing in an access control security system, this article provides a general overview of questions that you might want to be answered. 

How Does an Access Control Security System Work?

When you get an access control security system installed, doors can be unlocked by using a card. The access cards must be activated in order to work, which you will have complete control over. For example, if you want to give an employee access to a specific room, you can activate a card in a speedy manner. All you will need to do is log into a web-based program that is connected to the system to activate a card. On the other hand, you can also log into the web-based program to deactivate a card when it is necessary, such as if an employee gets terminated.

Can an Access Card Be Used on Multiple Doors?

If you need to secure more than one door in your building, there is no need to give your employees multiple access cards. The reason is that your access cards can be used on more than one door. However, in order for a card to work on multiple doors, it must be activated to do so. You will have control over which of your employees can use an access card on multiple doors or not. By logging into a web-based program, you can also find out if anyone has been trying to use a deactivated access card.

Does an Access Control Security System Have Other Benefits?

A beneficial aspect of using a card access control system is that you can monitor the doors in your building from remote locations. You can also remotely activate and deactivate the access cards. Customizing the cards for your employees is beneficial as well. For example, you can get the cards personalized with a photo of your employees for added security in your business establishment. If someone is seen with a card that has another person's photo on it, you will know that it is suspicious and can take action.
