Access control
Flexible access control for your facilities
Access control systems over IP can secure your facilities and offer easy ongoing management.
Key benefits include:
- Ease of installation. Access card control points, where users can swipe for entry or exit, can be installed and connected to the existing network.
- Ease of management. Access for individual users or groups of users can be configured through an easy to use interface from any authorised network PC.
- Scalable. For multiple occupancy buildings, individual occupants can manage their own access requirements relieving the burden on building management.
- No borders. One access card could provide a staff member or client access to one building in one country, or multiple buildings across the world.
- Flexibility. Decide who can access what areas of the facilities and at what times of day. Immediately withdraw access to any card at any time.
Integration with other systems
IP access control also brings the benefit of easier integration with other systems, such as CCTV security and building management systems:
- Integration with other security. Trigger alerts based upon certain alarms (for example access out of predefined hours) or automatically redirect CCTV coverage based upon events.
- Building management. Have the building react to user actions – for example bringing power to an office or entire floor if a user swipes in, then powering down when they leave.
