Control and Regulate Access to Your Building
Our industry leading access control systems will help you to protect your assets and create a safe environment for employees and visitors.
Physical security and access control security have become increasingly important over the past several years and the industry has seen a lot of growth and innovation.
Much of this growth and innovation has been driven by organizations looking for solutions that offer more enhanced features, better security, and increased flexibility. Choosing the right access control system can solve programs and create efficiencies.
Access Control Security and COVID-19
“Security” must also include protective measures for the health of your employees and visitors. Fire and Security Services is developing new, innovative solutions as organizations seek to implement contactless experiences to create a healthier environment and limit the spread of germs. Reduce physical contact with mobile credentials, which work with cloud-based access control systems to store access control cards digitally on your employees’ smartphones.
The latest touchless access systems can now incorporate facial recognition in place of keypads, swipe cards or tags. They can also integrate with systems that detect temperatures and face masks to monitor the health of those who enter and exit your building. Whether you’ve already gone back to the office or are still preparing for your return, know that Fire and Security Services will be there to provide an access control system that helps keep your employees safe.
