ACCESS CONTROL
It ’ s a common misconception to think that automatic doors only help disabled people . In reality , everybody benefits when it ’ s quicker and easier for people to get into and move around a building .
Benefits of integrating access control and door automation
When you integrate access control and door automation , you ’ re getting the best of both worlds . You ’ re making sure only authorised people can enter a secure zone , but you ’ re also giving those people a convenient and effortless experience . Additional benefits of this integration include :
• Time-based access control . Some sites , such as schools , like to keep doors unlocked and open during the day , and then locked and controlled out-of-hours . This integration means doors can automatically close and lock at the pre-set time .
• Efficient emergency response . In an emergency situation , doors can be automatically closed and locked instantly .
• Time and cost savings . If a door closes and locks on its own , then a site manager or security officer doesn ’ t need to manually manage every door .
• Remote control . Trigger doors to unlock , open , close , and lock remotely from within the access control system – instant convenience .
