It is important for
businesses to keep their offices secure from theft. This is why more and more
companies are investing in state-of-the-art door security equipment. There are
so many door access systems to choose
from in order to keep your files and office equipment safe. What are they
and how do they function? We list down some popular kit choices and the advantages
you can get from each one.
1.
Keypad Access
Control System
The
keypad access control system is one of the cheaper choices when it comes to
security door equipment. Fortunately, it is still very safe and high tech.
Equipped with access control software you can determine who comes in and out.
Like most access systems, it also includes a time stamp so it can take
attendance as well. Access for people with the code wouldn’t have to worry
about leaving access cards.
2.
Smart Card
Reader Access System
The
smart card reader is an access system that offers better security than a keypad
access control system. This is because people with the smart cards are the only
ones who can get access to the office. This added level of security will ensure
that only authorised personnel can enter your office. The great thing about
card readers is that it is proximity based. All the users have to do is hold
the card in front of the smart card reader. They don’t even have to take it out
of their wallets.
3.
Biometric Access
Control System
The
most high tech of all the access systems is the biometric access control
system. This makes it more convenient for your employees but also another
security measure for you. You can be assured that only the employee himself can
gain access and no one else. Each employee or authorised personnel is scanned
for their biometrics – fingerprints. In the system, you can also include basic
information such as name, photo, designation, and attendance logins. They
wouldn’t have to memorise a code or carry around a smart card that they could
easily forget or loose.
Additional Security Measures
CCTV
In Singapore, CCTV systems are getting more
affordable. This makes it more accessible for business owners to install
CCTVs in and around their offices. Depending on the type of access system you
have, you can have your CCTV work with your access system that makes tracking
much easier.
Intercom
If you want to be able
to let visitors enter much faster, installing an intercom will definitely make
things much easier for your visitors. It eliminates your visitor waiting time
as well as your time physically opening the door. Through your intercom system
alongside a CCTV and door access system, you can grant access to messengers and
visitors alike.
A majority of these
access systems are IP based. There are some systems that also allow for web
based software. This allows you to access it even if you are away from your
office. Access systems are a great way to keep offices safe from theft. Do you
have a preferred access system?
