It is fair to say that access control systems really are one of the most beneficial security systems that you can install at your business premises and it is no surprise that they are one of the most sought-after solutions on the market. No matter what industry sector you work in, it is easy to design and install an access control system that meets all of your individual needs, and with technology continually advancing, this security solution is only getting better.
Whilst previously many business owners would choose to have proximity access control systems, PIN entry systems or intercom door entry systems installed, with biometric technology now readily available, biometric access control systems are becoming a much more popular choice. As you may expect, there are lots of advantages to using facial recognition or fingerprint recognition and below we have looked into these in more detail.
They are incredibly convenient to use
Biometric access control systems are much more user friendly and convenient all around than any other type of access control solution. Users won’t have to find their swipe card or key fob in order to enter through a secure point and they won’t have to worry about remembering different pin codes either. Facial and fingerprint scanners make it so much easier for authorised people to move around a building.
Often, biometric access control systems are also much more convenient for business owners too as they make granting and revoking access straightforward as well. You won’t have the hassle of getting ID cards made for new users or getting these cards back from old users, you will easily be able to ensure that your system is always up-to-date.
They are more cost-effective over time
Sometimes, initial biometric access control system prices might be slightly higher than other types of access control, but generally speaking, they are very cost-effective over time. Not only can these systems help to reduce your overheads for security staff, even in high-security areas, but they can often help to lower insurance premiums as well. Not to mention they can reduce the costs associated with stolen and damaged property too.
Of course, the fact that biometric access control systems will have no replacement costs is very useful in this regard too. You won’t have to pay out for new swipe cards or key fobs when people lose them, or if you have new users, and whilst this can seem like a small expense, it soon adds up and replacement costs are often much higher than people assume they will be.
They are able to increase your security
The fact that biometric access control systems are known for being much more secure than any other traditional type of access control system makes them very appealing too. Simply put, because biometric systems are made with face scanners and/or fingerprint readers, they use biological characteristics to allow authorised users to gain access, making it almost impossible for anyone else to freely move around your building.
You won’t have to worry about security breaches being caused by things like lost and stolen key fobs or other people being told confidential pin codes, and you can rest assured knowing that unauthorised people won’t be able to enter through a secure point. This will make your whole premises much more secure and dramatically reduce common security risks.
Installing a biometric access control system
There really is no denying that whilst there are a number of different access control solutions available to business owners, these days biometric systems are one of the best options to use. It is easy to see why modern biometric readers are becoming so popular and it is fair to say that if you’re considering investing in door access control or you’re wanting to upgrade your existing system, then you should definitely consider biometric security.
