4 Things to Consider for Your Remote Access Control System

Build a System That Works for Your Security Needs

One of the surest ways to improve business security is to install an access control system. In large corporations, access control manages who can and cannot enter buildings and provides swift entry to your staff. 

While keys have historically functioned as ‘access control,’ they can be easily lost and are time-consuming to replace or issue. Plus, if hundreds or even thousands of people pass through your business, using keys will cause clusters at the door, letting unwarranted people slip in behind. 

Instead, integrated access control provides instant access through a turnstile or door with a quick tap of a card, phone scan, or other methods. And not all access control systems have to function the same. You can customize remote access control to meet your business’s unique needs.

Before installing a remote access control system, consider these four questions. And to get started with access control in the Plano, TX or Dallas/Ft. Worth area, contact Texadia Systems here

1. What Format Will You Use? 

There are many ways to approach access control—and you can even combine methods at different entrances and rooms across your business. Five ways you can use access control include:

  • Key cards
  • Pin codes 
  • Mobile apps 
  • Fingerprint readers
  • Retina scanners 

Biometric access control tactics, like fingerprint, hand, and retina scanners may be more advanced than other options but can be a smart choice in ultra-high-security areas. 

Mobile apps can now be used to gain entry to buildings and rooms hands-free. Openpath’s touchless systems allow users to open doors once the Bluetooth reader recognizes a person’s phone, even if it’s still in their pocket or bag. 

And lastly, key cards and pin codes can be distributed with customized permissions for each user and easily revoked through your access control system. 

2. Where Do You Need Access Control? 

Think about where you’ll need to double-check that whoever’s entering is a verified, safe person. Of course, you’ll want access control stations installed at the entrances and any back doors, but you may also want readers at elevators, staircases, private offices, and high-security areas like laboratories and storage facilities. 

3. How Will You Manage the System? 

If you only have one computer that controls your access control system, that will leave your system vulnerable and difficult to manage. Cloud-based systems allow your security team to access and manage the system from anywhere across many devices. From the same interface where you’ll add new users, change permission settings, and even revoke access from anyone no longer with the company.

4. How Can Other Security Technologies Help? 

Relying on access control alone can leave gaps in your security. We recommend integrating cameras, alarms, and sensors into the system, too. That way, if anything happens on the premises, you can use cameras to verify information provided by the access control system and vice versa. Internal theft is a real issue for many businesses, and a complete security system can help you prevent loss.
