5 Advantages of access control installation

As a security systems provider in the UK, access control measures are an essential part of our service offerings. Access control measures help restrict access to certain areas of a building, providing security and safety to the premises and the people who use them.

1. Prevent Theft
   One of the most significant uses of access control measures is to prevent theft. By restricting access to sensitive areas, such as stock rooms, safes, or data centres, we can prevent unauthorised personnel from gaining access to valuable assets. We can also track who has accessed these areas, enabling us to identify any suspicious activity and investigate it further. Additionally, keyless entry and card access control systems make it easier to manage access, as lost cards can be quickly deactivated and replaced without the need to rekey locks. This simplifies the process of securing restricted areas and ensures that your facility is always secure.
   
   
2. Calculate Footfall
   Access control measures can also be used to calculate footfall accurately. By installing sensors at entry and exit points, we can monitor the number of people entering and leaving a building. This data can be used to optimise staffing levels and improve customer service. It can also be used to identify peak times of the day, week, or year, allowing businesses to plan for increased footfall and make necessary adjustments.
   
   
3. Enforce health and safety regulations
   By restricting access to hazardous areas, access control measures can prevent unauthorised personnel from entering these areas and potentially exposing themselves to danger. This can include areas with high voltage electrical equipment, chemical storage areas, or areas with heavy machinery.
   
   
4. Room for development as your company grows
   As your company or facility grows, you can simply add new access cards, update mandatory credentials for certain areas, and change access dates and times as necessary. As employees leave, are promoted, and change positions, you can easily restrict, add, or manage their access to certain buildings depending on their credentials and their current position. You no longer have to keep tabs on each individual key — simply update each employee’s access as it corresponds with their needs.
   
   
5. Employee convenience
   Access control systems can make it more convenient and efficient for employees to access the building, saving them time and hassle while also providing increased security. One of the most significant advantages is that they eliminate the need for employees to carry traditional keys. With an access control system, employees can enter the building or specific areas within the building using a key card, fob, or biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint or facial recognition. This makes it easier for employees to access the building, particularly if they are carrying other items such as bags or equipment. Additionally, access control systems can also provide flexibility for employees who need to access the building outside of regular working hours or on weekends.
