How To Choose The Most Effective Access Control System For Your Unique Needs
                     How To Choose The Most Effective Access Control System For Your Unique Needs
• Is your business still using an antiquated security system? 
If you think you are living in the past, chances are you are 
probably right. With technology changing so rapidly, it’s 
hard to keep pace with what is out there and what is no 
longer acceptable. 
• As different options become available, it’s important to 
know what the differences are and how they apply to your 
needs. The security systems outlined below are important 
for many industries and businesses regardless of size.
1. DOOR/ELEVATOR CONTROLS
• For high-end residential condo’s or governmental 
agencies, a common type of access control feature ties 
into the elevator system. A special elevator 
access control unit is installed and used to determine 
the floors that can be reached based on the access 
control credential. 
• Your card or fob can be customized based on the floor or 
department you have access to. For example, if you 
work for the accounting department and it is situated on 
the 2nd floor, you will only be given access to the 2nd 
floor and nothing else. 
• Similarly, if you live on the 30th floor, you will only have 
access to that floor and nothing else besides the 
lobby/garage.
2. BARRIER GATES
• If you are looking to control unwanted visitors, the first line of 
defense is typically a gate system of some kind. 
Security barriers and automated gate systems are integral 
parts of an automated electronic security system’s access 
control solutions. 
• The presence of security barriers and gates provides protection 
from access of unauthorized personnel to your premises.
3. CARD READERS
• Large offices and industrial complexes typically use a 
card access system as one form of access control. The 
modern card reading systems are electronic devices 
that can read plastic cards or fobs embedded with a 
computer chip, barcode or magnetic strip. 
• There are other more complex systems capable of 
providing additional layers of security, but the most 
common for this type of application are offices.
4. TELEPHONE ENTRY SYSTEM
•Most residential and multi-family communities prefer this type 
of access control system. In this case, a telephone entry 
system is installed at the entrance of the community and is 
the communication device that links the resident to the visitor. 
• Typically, it is installed in conjunction to a gate (or entrance 
door to a building) where visitors can call the office and 
request entry.
•Most telephone entry systems have a keypad to enter codes 
to open the gate or keep it open for longer periods of time.
5. RFID SYSTEMS
•RFID security systems or radio frequency 
identification system is a technology-based 
identification system that helps to identify objects as 
they pass by, typically on vehicles via the tags 
attached to them. 
•Most high-end gated communities use this type of 
access where they do not want the residents to stop 
and open their windows or slow down to present any 
type of credential. 
• The seamless transaction and ease of use make this 
most desirable to luxury communities.
