You can never be too cautious when it comes to securing your business and your property. To improve your company’s security, keep track of who enters and exits your premises and when. You should also restrict entry to your building and manage who accesses specific areas. Installing an access control system in your facility is the best approach to monitor and regulate access. We’ve gathered some facts that you need to know if you’re thinking about installing an access control system.
What is an Access Control System?
An access control system is basically an electronic system that controls entry and exit from a certain location. These systems have evolved significantly over time, now include key cards and access codes. Locked doors will typically open with an access control device and then lock behind them. Access control systems provide authorized guests quick and easy access while restricting illegal visitors.
How Does Access Control System Work?
You will pick which locations will be limited and to whom when you initially install an access control system. Access will be granted to the right persons using unique keycards. Then you’ll distribute your keycards. Individuals will scan their keycards on the keycard reader to obtain admission to the building, and the doors will always be locked. Your system will monitor all entrance points and give notifications whenever an unauthorized person tries to enter the building.
What are the Basic Components of an Access Control System?
Access Control
Access cards will replace keys in an access control system. To get entrance to the building or specific portions of the facility, people will scan their access cards. Each access card will have its own unique code, allowing you to regulate access for each user, conveniently turning access on and off at various times or locations within the facility. Because access cards are generally the size of a credit card, they are portable and can easily fit inside a wallet.
Card Readers
The card reader is the equipment used to read access cards and allow access. There are several types of card readers, some of which need card insertion, some of which require swipes, and others of which merely require cards to pass in close proximity to the reader. Card readers are normally located on or near the door that they control, hence the number of card readers in an access control system is determined by the number of entrances to which limited access is required.
Keypads
Another means of entrance is by access control keypads. Rather than scanning an access card, you will enter a code on a numeric keypad. You must enter the proper passcode to obtain access. Keypads are occasionally used instead of card readers, and sometimes in addition to them. A door may feature a card reader and a keypad for further security, requiring an access card and a valid passcode to gain admission.
Electric Lock Hardware
The hardware that locks and unlocks the doors is also a component of your access control system. After a keycard swipe or keypad code entry, electric lock hardware will electrically unlock your door and electronically lock it again when it shuts. There are several varieties of electric lock hardware available, including electric locks, electric strikes, electromagnetic locks, and others. The sort of hardware chosen will be determined by the door’s structure. Electric lock hardware, in addition to electronically locking and unlocking your doors, guarantees that doors may be readily opened anytime someone desires to depart in order to comply with building and fire requirements.
Alarm System
Fire, burglary, and intrusion detection alarms are frequently linked with access control. If an unauthorized individual tries to enter the doors protected by electric lock hardware, your access control system might trigger an alert. In the case of an emergency, such as a fire, your access control system can temporarily switch off locks that may obstruct speedy evacuation from a facility, in addition to triggering an alert.
Field Panels
Field panels are the control panels that link all of the other components of your access control system, such as card readers, keypads, hardware, and so on. Field panels are used to manage access control activities throughout the facility. The number of panels required will be decided by the size of the building, the system size, and the amount to which the system is used. Field panels are commonly seen in telephone, electrical, and communication closets.
Access Control Software
Your access control software is the central processing unit of your whole system. It is the system’s core database and file manager. It monitors system activity and sends and receives data from and from the building’s field panels. This program runs on a standard PC. Typically, you will have one machine with this program loaded on it that will be dedicated to the software’s full-time use.
