You want to think about adding access control to your building when security ad safety is of concern to you. With this option, you will have the ability to limit some access to particular locations and rooms. This way, when someone tries to enter the area you have restricted, they will not be able to unless they know the correct number for the keypad. If they have the correct number, the keypad will allow the door to unlock. If the person does not have the right code, entry through the door will be denied as the door will remain locked.

There are even more complex access control systems of security that will require someone to have three different forms of proof in order to gain entry. Generally, a numeric code is the first proof. After they successfully enter that, they have to swipe a keycard that was assigned to them and then they will need to have their fingerprint scanned. Usually, the most complex access control systems is not required by companies unless they have something extremely important that has to stay top secret.

There are many benefits that come with having security with access control systems.

When there is a physical key, it can be duplicated. This cannot happen with the access key code. If someone is let go or quits, you simply change the code or restrict their access. You do not have to worry about changing locks and replacing keys.

There is only one code for use to every room. By using access control in a building, you don't need to have a different set of keys for different rooms people may want access to. Instead, manually allow access to specific users. There is never a risk of someone losing a key and not being able to not enter a room.

There is also a way to limit the number of times any one person is allowed access to particular rooms. This will help you cut down on overtime and for people coming in when they have no authorize to be there during off times. If something ends up stolen from the room, you will have a transaction of everyone that entered that room through the access control panel. These reports will show you who entered the room and the exact time they entered the room.

If something goes wrong in a room, you have a transaction of everyone that was in the room at the time. No matter if supplies go missing, or you need to account for a group of people, reports will show you who accessed specific areas recently and exactly what time they were there. Keep in mind that the use of these rooms will be used only by those you authorize, and the access code for these systems should be unique to each user. If you manually assign the numbers people will forget their number, and using sequential codes will give other users a good idea of other codes they can use if they are trying to sneak around.
