Control Who Accesses Your Building

An access control system protects your hard-earned investment by protecting your business from theft and dangerous intruders.

Access control systems are security measures that manage and regulate entry to physical or digital spaces. They typically utilize technologies like keypads, key cards, biometric scanners, or digital codes to grant or deny access to individuals based on pre-defined permissions or security levels. These systems offer heightened security, allowing organizations to restrict unauthorized entry, track movements, and safeguard sensitive areas or data from unauthorized access.

Our systems feature-rich access control platforms and solutions that are designed around the scope of your business needs plus our human touch from professional technicians to ensure a smooth transition (before, during, and after). It’s not all about technology, after all!

As your organization grows, so will our access control systems. Control one door or hundreds. We are here to help you adapt.

THREE TYPES OF COMMERCIAL ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS

Discretionary Access Control (DAC) Card access means the business owner is accountable for deciding who is allowed to enter a certain area — digitally or physically. DAC is the least restrictive compared to the other sensitive data systems because it gives you control over the objects you own, as well as the people or programs associated with said objects.

Managed Access Control (MAC) – When there aren’t enough resources to manage access control in-house, MAC comes to the rescue. Midwest Alarm administers the programming, cardholder database management and reporting services for you so you can maintain a secure facility without having to become an access control expert.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) – RBAC is one of the most popular access control solutions across different organizations. This system allows an administrator to assign access. All assignments are based on the subject’s role within the organization and all privileges are limited according to an individual’s responsibilities.

BENEFITS OF ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS

Effective access control systems are business essentials that curb security threats, giving you and your team peace of mind. With access control systems and solutions in place, you can determine who has permission to use or see sensitive data or enter the premises.

Restrictions for Certain Areas – Access control features like keycards enable organizations to control who has access to a specific or restricted area in the office.

Duplication Made More Difficult – Individuals with intentions to duplicate physical keys would be unable to do so due to the keyless entry feature. Access control key cards make it more difficult for intruders to duplicate keys. Lost keycards will require multiple authentication procedures and changing of the codes, too.

Protect Your Valuables – Internal theft is a real issue. In the event of an individual using their keycard to steal company valuables, you will know who did it. Access control systems can be managed from any computer connected to your network.

Multi-Location Access  – Organizations with multiple branches can use role-based access control systems to simplify a manager’s job of visiting multiple locations. Instead of having physical keys, they can have one keycard for different locations.

Our Partners, such as PCSC, LenelS2, Axis, and Sielox, create access control systems that protect sensitive information and data through the use of coded badges and key cards. Our access control systems are also the perfect accompaniment to your CCTV video surveillance system.

  • Enhanced Surveillance: Sound and security systems provide continuous monitoring of critical areas, deterring criminal activity and ensuring a safer environment for occupants.
  • Emergency Communication: Integrated sound systems facilitate clear and effective communication during emergencies, guiding occupants to safety and enabling timely response from emergency services.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Implementing sound and security systems helps businesses and institutions meet regulatory requirements for safety and security measures, avoiding potential fines or legal liabilities.
  • Deterrence and Prevention: Visible security measures act as a deterrent to potential intruders or criminals, reducing the likelihood of security breaches and enhancing overall safety.
