Do you want to know who’s in and out of your business? If you want to avoid the need to hire a receptionist, access control is a good option. All that is needed to gain access is a fob key or if the system is a biometric system, a finger. Once this is properly identified then the door will unlock. Biometric systems are also very popular since they allow employees easy access but also identify customers who are coming and going from your business. Other types of access control systems will require that a keypad is installed. The correct code will have to be entered into the system to allow entry. This system is extremely beneficial in helping you identify a possible thief. This type of system enables you to facilitate large crowds through your business more efficiently. 

Features of an Access Control System

Track Visitors – Unfortunately, there are a lot of businesses that rely on a receptionist to check people in and out. However, with an access control system installed all that is needed is the right fob key or the correct code entered into the system. This type of system does the same thing that a human could do but with more efficiency. Track anyone who comes in and out without a receptionist.  If things are stolen, there is now a record of who was in the building when it was taken. This makes it easier to find the person responsible.

Duplicate keys – Since there is no standard key needed to get inside then you don’t have to worry about duplicate keys being made. A thief is likely able to get their hands on your key and have it duplicated. This isn’t possible to do when you have a fob key or some other type of electronic key. Access control minimizes the risk of theft.

Remote Access – You may not think that it is possible for you to be at two places at the same time but in a sense, it is. If you have an access control system for your commercial business, you can unlock your door with the press of a button, from wherever you are. This is especially helpful if you receive packages and you need to allow someone in to leave it during afterhours.

Quick Entry – Moving large crowds of people through a business is no easy task. Since no standard key is needed, it’s easier to move people in and out. With one swipe of a fob the person can quickly enter the business.
