Frequently Asked Questions
VENDOR PARTNERS
Only the best products, every time.
and many more.
What is the difference between standalone and networked systems?
Standalone systems operate independently at each access point, while networked systems connect to a central server, allowing centralized management and monitoring.
Can access control systems be integrated with other security systems?
Yes, access control can be integrated with video surveillance, alarm systems, intercoms, and building management systems for a more comprehensive security solution.
How do mobile credentials work?
Mobile credentials use smartphones and apps to grant access via Bluetooth, NFC, or QR codes, eliminating the need for physical cards or fobs.
What happens if there’s a power outage?
Most access control systems include backup power supplies or battery backups to ensure continued operation during outages. Fail-safe or fail-secure locks are also used based on security needs.
How do I manage user permissions in an access control system?
Access control software allows administrators to assign and revoke access, set schedules, and track user activity in real time, making it easy to manage permissions across sites.
What equipment do more advanced access control systems use?
Advanced systems leverage technology like biometric scanners and smart locks to provide access to facilities and sensitive areas. Smart Locks use keyless technology and instead provide access through mobile apps, while biometric scanners leverage physical traits such as fingerprints or facial features to provide access. Both technologies provide high security while offering flexible and scalable access control solutions.
How do control panels work with different security equipment?
Control panels are feature-rich, intuitive control platforms that allow you to manipulate and control different types of security equipment. Modern control panels have network controls that allow you to control equipment at multiple locations, while feature-rich control panels offer additional functionality like role-based access and touch-screen HMI control options.
How important is integration when it comes to access control?
Integrating your access control equipment should be a top priority when upgrading or replacing equipment. By doing so, you gain more details on who enters or exits a building, a faster security response time, and an enhanced situational awareness. Integrating access control improves security posture by enabling more comprehensive monitoring and strengthens your response to security risks or breaches.
What are different types of access control equipment?
There is a wide variety of equipment available to help with access control, including gate arms, guard booths, automatic gates, turnstiles, automated doors, control panels, card access readers, video intercoms, parking solutions, and more.
What role do control panels play in access control?
Control panels are the interface that allow you manage all of your automated security systems. They’re complex and can be a challenge to integrate, but if done correctly they can streamline access control while providing an improvement to overall security posture.
