INTERCOM/ACCESS CONTROL - COMMERCIAL
Intercom systems as a component of Access Control allow companies to screen potential visitors prior to allowing them on the premise. Prior to the development of such systems, managing keys was a nightmare for most companies and it was simply impractical to keep the door locked all the time.
At a minimum an electronic access control system can be used to allow authorized employees into a building after set hours and provide documentation of when and where they enter and exit. The technology can also be used to keep unauthorized individuals out of a building or areas within a facility.
Business Benefits of Access Control include:
Tracking and Theft Deterrence
One of the biggest advantages of an electronic access control system is the ability to document and report access activity. Most small single door applications have reporting available either through a printer or through web-based access that shows an audit trail of door access activity. Mid-range and large-scale systems can provide in depth, user-defined reporting of access activity. This is a critical component to the access system helping to quickly understand who had access to critical areas of their business before and after an incident.
Access Screening
The ability to screen visitors before they enter a building or area of your business may provide a number of benefits, including the elimination of unwanted sales or service calls, and safety of building occupants in riskier areas.
Remote Door Control
Generally, a secretary or security guard can operate doors remotely after determining that a visitor is scheduled or authorized, eliminating the laborious task of walking over every time someone comes to the door in order to open it.
