Optimise the security of your buildings with an access control system

Introduction

Ensuring the security of a company has become one of the most important factors. Video surveillance, intercom and intrusion systems will enable you to independently manage the security of your buildings, but that's not all! 

Access control is one of the systems that needs to be integrated and optimised within a building. Combined with video surveillance, operators will be able to control and manage the flow of entrances and exits, and that's what you'll find out in a full article. 

What is an access control system?

Access control is a system enabling a company to grant or restrict access to a certain type of individual within a building. 

Together with its teams, the company will be able to define which individuals have the right to access rooms in a building via badge rights, but that's not all! 

For example, a building may decide to install a digital door opener allowing any type of individual to leave the building.
The access control system can therefore be adapted to any situation. 

What equipment and technologies form an integral part of the access control system?

Badge readers are one of the most widely used pieces of equipment in access control systems. Most companies use badges to open doors, and these badges are connected directly to the badge reader. The advantage is that you can install your badge reader anywhere, whether it's a lift or a door! 

In just a few years, digicode technology has become widely used by businesses. Easy to use, companies can program it with entry codes and use it in all kinds of places. 

One of the most innovative technologies is biometrics. Companies will be able to install equipment based on facial recognition or fingerprints to give individuals access to premises. The equipment can range from biometric locks to biometric readers per door and digital readers. 

What is the solution for connecting the access control system to equipment and technologies? 

Having a global view of all the equipment/technologies and being able to connect them directly to the access control system is a major challenge for companies.

These days, companies have several buildings and several areas to control, and they need to be able to manage all their equipment and technologies with just a few clicks. 

Hypervision has been designed to integrate any type of access control system and all the associated equipment and technologies. 

With just a few clicks, operators will be able to manage all the equipment and technologies, which will be directly visible as icons on a map. 

In the event of an incident, operators will be able to use a handrail to manage a forced door or numerous attempts to enter a room, for example. 

Finally, in the event of equipment or technology failure, operators will be able to view this directly via the icon and change the faulty equipment or technology, as well as carry out preventive maintenance on the system.
