You, as the end user can determine what level of security you can allow your staff to have, therefore protecting your business even more securely. Access control systems are a valuable addition to your business. They allow you to track your staff movements throughout your business in the following ways as each time they swipe their card or fob, the access control system will automatically log:
-- what time the user swiped their card or fob
-- the date the user swiped their card or fob
-- what door and on what level (if multi level building) they entered and exited and:
-- who the card was assigned to.
This allows the manager to identify a number of things:
-- The starting and finishing of an employees time. Valuable if your employees are on a timesheet basis.
-- Tracking the movements of staff for those all important cigarette breaks!
-- Ensuring that staff are meeting their time obligations for example lunch breaks
The system can also control what type of lock you would prefer to have on your door. Examples are: magnetic locks, drop bolt and mortise locks.
Access control cards can come in a range of different types from credit card to key fobs. Access control system can be interfaced with the end user software giving the end user the ability to program their own cards and assign to different staff members. This is a valuable saving for a business because they can do all their own managing of the system inhouse. The system can be as simple as a single door access point for example as a front door entry into a home or as large and complex as a multi level building with multiple doors within the building dependent on your location and budget.
