Access control is an essential facet of building security. It is to do with making sure that only authorised people can gain entry to the building, as well as monitoring who is inside at any one time. You should update your access control policies on a regular basis to make sure you are making use of the latest technology. Here are some access control features you can use:
- Key fobs. A key fob system will involve a door that locks securely and only allows people to gain entry if they have a key fob.
- Entry bell. People who do not have a key fob will be able to ring a bell and request entry. They can then be signed in so you can keep track of who is on the premises.
- Gate systems. This protects the building before people even reach it. You could have a gate with a code or even automatic number plate recognition.
