Access Control
Business owners and facilities managers need to have the ability to limit unauthorized entry to their properties. Access control systems provide the ability to protect employees and businesses against theft, property damage or bodily harm. The system can control access to a single point of entry or protect multiple points of entry.
Access Control Systems can be customized to accommodate business and security needs.
At the forefront of our access solution, Sonitrol offers a shared configuration. This form of Access Control allows the business owner to have control of their Access System at any time but also allows Sonitrol to manage the access as well. This configuration gives you complete control using MYSonitrol.net, a secured web portal that allows you to make changes to your access system such as changing the access rights of employees, visitors, and contractors in your place of business. Access cards are used to grant access to restricted areas, but the flexibility of having professional customer support agents manage it as well.
With Sonitrol Managed Access, we manage and monitor your system 24 hours a day from our Central Station. You can be notified if a door remains propped open, or if a invalid user attempts to gain access into an area that they do not have permission to enter. All of your information is housed in our secured UL Central Station with redundant back up should it be needed. With a shared configured Access System you have total control of your system using our secure web portal, MySonitrol.net.
What is needed for a Access Control System
A simple access control system consist of an electronic door lock, a card reader and a access card or key fob. We install the “brains” of the system which then links to our secured Central Station. This easy to use system eliminates the need for an on-site computer with software. With access to the Internet business owners can receive real-time event information when needed or just contact the Central Station and they can provide any information you need.
Features and benefits
Many business owners look for solutions that can help track and monitor access to key areas such as lobby, office, supply room or shipping and receiving and other sensitive areas. Select a system that can be tailored to the needs of the particular business
Sonitrol’s Access Control System also integrates with our security system. When entering the building just present you access card or key fob, and as long as you have been granted permission, the system automatically disarms. You can have the system automatically arm the security system and lock down the doors a specified time. This eliminates the use of codes and PIN numbers.
Conclusion
When considering an access control system for your business, consult with a security consultant to thoroughly evaluate your current operations and physical setting. The consultant can help you make smart and informed decisions about designing a cost-effective access control system that enhances your safety and workplace security.
The system should be flexible enough to scale with your business as it expands. Many property owners boost their security capabilities by adding hosted video to monitor their critical access points.
