Access
You may want to limit access to certain areas, for reasons of physical security to your staff or equipment, to prevent visitors from entering an area where they may inadvertently endanger themselves or to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. Only authorized persons can enter, and only during the precise period of the authorization. If a robbery is discovered, the log of entries provides a list of suspects. Magen Boardroom Systems can design and install Access Control Systems to limited access areas to meet the specific needs of your firm.
Why you need it
|
You can give entry devices to temporary employees and preset the date and hour when their validity is voided. Or provide trainees participating in a course with entry to specific areas for the duration of the training. At the end of the period, which can be defined down to the minute, access is automatically denied.
No more keys. Keys can be copied and passed on to unauthorized persons. An employee who is dismissed or who resigns may keep a copy of the key and enter the premises unlawfully. With access control, any devices retained by staff who have left your firm, or by trainees granted temporary authorization, can be easily invalidated. The entry devices cannot be duplicated by unauthorized personnel. You can immediately invalidate entry authorization as soon as a suspicion arises as to reliability of the person.
Indoor and outdoor access
Access control can be installed on both indoor and
outdoor entrances so that any zone may be accessible only to authorized persons.
Weather resistant panels and controls are available for outdoor use. In addition
to main entrances, access control can be installed in warehouses, archives and
other restricted areas in your office or plant, limiting access only to select
employees.
Integration of Systems
The access system can be integrated with other systems, such as lights and cameras, to make it even more valuable. Integration can automatically improve safety and security: lights can automatically go on to illuminate the route for maintenance employees or others who keep irregular schedules and check in when offices are normally closed. Cameras can automatically focus on the entry process and begin videoing when the access system is activated or tampered with. If tampered with the access control may also activate a sound device on your alarm system. Integrated with your heating and air conditioning system, the access system will send instructions to adjust the climate controls in the work area of the person who entered the premises.
Fire regulations
Magen Boardroom Systems access controls meet all regulations of the fire
authorities. They are reliable and long lasting and require no maintenance. They
have a back-up power source which takes over in case of power failure. The
access control components are attractive and can be designed to complement the
colour scheme and design of your office and may even be totally concealed.
How it works
The access code is integrated into the ID Card or other device. An employee
simply holds the ID device in front of the reader to obtain entry. It may even
be read through a wallet. The time required by the reader to identify the person
is very short, so the action can be totally hidden from passersby. Entry may be
restricted or denied by the administrator by defining hours or dates when entry
is permitted; at all other times entry is prohibited. Permission may also be
cancelled at any time by the system administrator by issuing the proper command
to the controller, without handling the ID device. A lost or stolen device may
be disabled, as soon as the loss is reported.
