Purpose of Access Control Systems

Access control systems are designed to keep your business, employees and office secure by preventing access to unauthorised visitors, restricting employees from accessing specific areas and managing all employees' access to your space.

Why Access Control Systems don't work well with you

Mostly the systems Providers just install Access Control and giving each of your employees a master key to your business is insecure and unsustainable. Overtime keys are lost and stolen, increasing your business's risk of a security breach. Using an access control system, you can connect your doors and electronically powered locks to control your employees access to your business. Use Right Brand and Products as per your custom Use. Do not just go for access Control.

Credential based unlocking

Employees are provided credentials, and those credentials are presented to a proximity reader to unlock the door. Common employee credentials include mobile, key cards, key fobs, and bio-metric authorisations.

Security and Convenience

Balancing security and convenience in physical access control is the age old paradox of any security system or user interface. Often the credential is viewed as the most important piece to the employee perception of security. When an employee leaves your organisation, credentials can be deactivated to prevent future unauthorised access to your business.

Modern Physical Access Control

Physical access control is a security system; access is logged and tracks which employees enter your business, which door was accessed, and when they entered. With access control software, either cloud based or local, you can track in real-time as credentials are used throughout your business. Most software includes suspicious access notifications, alerting security managers when a credential is used during non-business hours.

In our evaluation for the best access control system, we followed the following criteria:

The Best Access Control System Criteria

From the many access control systems available, there are dozens of options for your organisation ranging from expensive, local systems that run on your own servers to customisation cloud-based access control systems with hundreds of features and over-the-air (OTA) updates.

The Four Criteria For Ranking The Best Access Control

There's no way to include every system available on the market, so we've compiled criteria to our research for how we've ranked the best access control systems below. The criteria for our inclusion of the systems below are based on:

• Security technology, system type, and credential options
• Access reporting, visitor management, and time tracking
• Installation requirements, installation ownership, and maintenance
• Customer support, training availability, and self-service documentation
• Grouping and types of physical access control

We then grouped the access control systems by type and listed them each in the appropriate category. Pricing can be difficult to compare since access control can be priced on materials, installation labor, maintenance, and number of users in the system. In the summary for each access system we do our best to list pricing in the simplest terms of cheapest setup per month cost to account for the disparity.
