Access Control: It’s Not As Complicated As You Think 

Whether through key cards, pin codes, or even biometric scanners, access control systems use smart technology to verify who can and cannot enter your business. It’s infinitely more convenient than issuing physical keys for every staff member—and is much safer than forgoing entry management altogether. 

Yet, some business owners still hesitate to adopt a physical access control system due to several misconceptions. So, let’s debunk some of those myths floating around. Learn how remote access control really works and can benefit your Texas organization.

ALL THAT’S POSSIBLE WHEN YOU SWITCH TO THE CLOUD

When it comes to commercial security systems, businesses have two options: on-site or cloud-based security. While a hybrid of both is possible, legacy systems generally are stored and controlled on-premises, while newer systems operate on the cloud. 

If your Fort Worth, TX, company is looking to upgrade outdated tech or start with a new system, here’s why you should move your security platform to the cloud. Ready to get started? Contact Texadia Systems here. 

Choose Whichever Methods Work for Your Business’s Security

How does your business manage who can enter your buildings? Do you use physical keys or card readers—or trust someone at a front desk to monitor everyone who walks inside?

If you’re looking to boost security for your Plano, TX, business, remote access control systems offer a convenient and secure way to manage and restrict access to your company’s facilities and sensitive areas. Rather than use one computer to manage access control, a remote system lets you do it all through the cloud. So across multiple devices, you can log in and add new users, adjust permissions, and revoke access to terminated employees.

But which access control method is right for your business? There are various types of access control systems on the market, each with its own set of features and benefits. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the most popular options.

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.
