Protect Your Staff and Assets with the Latest Access Control System
Take a Proactive, Protective Stance by Controlling Access to Your Business
Today's business operators are more conscientious than ever, looking for ways to protect their staff, clients, and assets. As a result, they may implement a robust security system using multiple layers, including video surveillance and alarms. However, the first step in securing your place of business in today's environment is an access control system.
Let's explore how these systems help protect businesses in Covington, LA.

Today's Access Control Systems
Gone are lost keys or employees standing at the door waiting for someone to let them in. Instead, today's access control systems use keypads, keycards, fobs, and mobile devices to allow employees access. For more advanced needs, we can implement biometric scanners that require a person's fingerprint, eye scan, or facial recognition.
Cloud-based control access systems offer user-friendly interfaces that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. This enables those with permission to immediately disable someone's access, should they quit or receive termination. These systems also integrate with your other devices, offering unprecedented security.
For example, you receive a notification that someone is trying to enter your business after hours using an outdated access card. Using the same platform, you view your live video surveillance and spot a recently-fired employer. These systems also offer two-way communication, enabling you to let them know they've been spotted and law enforcement is on the way. As you can see from this illustration, one of the best features of these systems is that they are proactive and integrative, stopping intruders or burglars before damage can occur.
Protecting Assets
Unfortunately, business operators also have to protect their companies from internal threats. According to one study, employee theft costs U.S. businesses about $50 billion every year. Small and midsize companies bear the brunt of these cases, with losses in the hundreds of thousands.
In addition to the checks and balances you have in place for controlling funds, an access control system informs you when employees come and go. Did an employee arrive earlier than usual? You'll receive an alert and can take a look via your surveillance cameras to see just what they're up to. Hopefully, it's a sign of a solid work ethic, and praise is in order.
Because access control systems implement unique codes for every employee, you or your administrators can generate reports that let you know when each employee enters and leaves the building, whether for a break or the beginning or end of their work period.
Each employee is also granted different permissions. For example, your trusted employee of 10 years has access to the back office, while the new arrival won't gain access to the inner sanctum for some time. We can also schedule access times so employees can only enter the grounds 30 minutes before their shift begins.
