Increasing demand for access control

Within the rental market, there is a growing need for access control systems. There are many different moments, situations and locations where it makes sense for access to the site or building to be controlled automatically. This is not only necessary to keep unauthorised persons out, but also to safeguard the safety of employees and visitors. In this article, we discuss five key benefits of access control.

The 5 advantages of access control

#1. Insight

Automated access control systems provide a great deal of insight. This can include:
Insight into access requests: When access is granted manually (remotely), it is important that the employee concerned can see whether the person requesting access is actually authorised.

Insight into presence: Automated access control makes it possible to always have an overview of who is present. This is useful not only for security, but also in the event of emergencies or evacuations.

Insight into working hours: Insight into presence can also provide insight into working hours. Time registration can be realised at an individual level.

#2. Security

The more insight you have into visitor flows and presence, the greater the security. Because if you have insight into presence, access requests and access movements, you can intervene much faster and more effectively in suspicious situations.

When a building or site is freely accessible, this brings enormous risks. At the same time, a fully closed access point can be very inefficient or unfriendly. Good access control offers the right balance between accessibility and security.

#3. Ease of use

Key management can be a major challenge. With conventional keys, it often takes a lot of time to have keys made and to keep track of who has which key. Access control makes this much easier and more manageable.

#4. Less risk of fraud

With cards, fobs or tags, you can also benefit from many more management options. For example, you can set parameters yourself with different access rights per person, room or time period. This reduces the risk of misuse or fraud.

#5. Flexibility

The wide range of management options offered by access control systems gives you unprecedented flexibility. Regulating access rights, depending on the system used, can often be arranged with just a few mouse clicks. Create a new fob for a temporary tenant? No problem. Grant an employee access to a specific room? Done in no time.
