1. The Benefits of Commercial Keyless Entry
Systems and the Types of Proximity Keyless
Entry Systems
Building Access Control System:
Generally defined, keyless entry systems are systems that require a special
electronic device in order to control access to a building and are often used by
commercial businesses. Traditional keys are never used for these types of
Building access control system, instead utilizing proximity sensors or devices
such as a smartphone, keycard, or key fob.
Here are some of the biggest benefits of commercial keyless Building access
control systems.
*Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of commercial keyless entry systems
involves the safety and security of both the building and all employees. When it
comes to more traditional keys, these are able to be easily copied in the event
that they end up getting lost or stolen. On the other hand, keyless entry
systems mean that the business owner won’t have to worry about someone
attempting to gain unauthorized access to the building. Furthermore, these
types of systems will also help to keep employees safe, with all entrances able
to be programmed to lock automatically upon access being granted.
*Another great benefit of commercial keyless Building access control
systems is being able to utilize better tracking data, as the software that’s used
with these specific systems is designed to track who comes into and leaves a
building. Both business owners and security alike are also able to obtain
automatic alerts regarding attempts and/or successful unauthorized access.
*One other useful benefit of commercial keyless entry systems is access
control itself. If you are a business owner, this means that you will be able to
have much more access over who will be able to enter and exit the building.
This type of system will allow you to track the times of entries and exits, as well
as alter access permissions and keep the business itself secure whenever it is
not in operation.
Proximity keyless entry systems are equally as important to consider as a form
of Building access control systems, as there are many businesses who have
taken the step of implementing this type of access, as it doesn’t require a
keycard or key fob to actually come into physical contact with a reader in order
for a lock to disengage.
Here are the different types of proximity keyless entry systems.
*Key fobs, which are designed to unlock doors whenever they are in a specific
proximity to the reader. RFID data is transmitted in order to allow the lock to be
disengaged. Furthermore, the fobs themselves are able to be activated for
specific entrances and may also be deactivated remotely as well.
2. *App-based and mobile-based, which utilizes a mobile app in order to enable
individuals to obtain access to a building. These systems are able to be
completely customized depending on specific security needs, and decreased
amounts of hardware are required in order to operate.
*Access control cards, which are able to operate from a close enough distance
without requiring any remote-based needs. RFID technology is able to be used
with these cards for commercial buildings and can also be assigned and
deactivated whenever the cards themselves are somehow stolen or lost.
*Biometric access control, which requires the use of either facial recognition or
fingerprints in order to obtain access to a building. This type of system
provides an increased amount of security and is also more costly as opposed
to other forms of proximity keyless entry systems.
