Building Access Control
- the concept
Most businesses need to protect at least some parts of their premises from unwanted access. Traditionally door locks and keys have allowed a level of protection, but keys may be lost or copied. Also, there may be a need to grant employees access to certain areas (zones) but to restrict access to others and a system of keys can become complicated and cumbersome. Often a better solution is to install access control.
An access control solution can tell you about staff working patterns, visits to sensitive locations and can even produce a roll-call in the even of a building evacuation. It is also possible to provide ‘dynamic’ access control rights by linking door controls to a personnel or customer database.
Whether a single (standalone) installation on a front door, or a system to protect an entire business complex, Alpha Touch can provide an access control solution to meet your needs.
