SCM Commercial Access Control Installation
Commercial Access Control Installed By SCM Fire & Safety
A reliable access control installation starts with understanding the door, the building and the people who need to use it.
SCM can assess suitable doors and provide readers, credentials, controllers, electric locking, power supplies and associated equipment to create a practical commercial access control system.
Access Control Systems For Different Requirements
The appropriate access control system depends on the number of doors, number of authorised users, management requirements and the way the building operates.
Standalone Access Control
Suitable for individual controlled doors and smaller commercial installations.
Networked Access Control
Centrally managed systems for multiple doors and larger numbers of authorised users.
Card Access
Electronic card credentials for commercial premises and controlled areas.
Key Fob Systems
Convenient credentials that can be issued and removed as requirements change.
PIN Access
Keypad-operated entry for suitable doors and restricted commercial areas.
Door Entry Integration
Access control can complement suitable audio and video intercom systems.
Practical Access Control For Commercial Premises
Access control can be configured around the number of doors, authorised users and the level of central management required within the building.
Depending on the application, a system can include readers, cards, fobs, PIN keypads, controllers, electric locking, power supplies and suitable door-entry integration.
Commercial Access Control System
Security Must Work With The Building’s Escape Strategy
Controlled Doors Require Proper Consideration
Security is only one part of an access-controlled door. The door hardware, means of escape, building use and any required emergency-release arrangements should also be considered.
The appropriate locking and release arrangement depends on the door, its location and the wider fire and life-safety strategy for the premises.
Where access control needs to interact with other fire or life-safety systems, the required interface should form part of the overall project design.
Better Control Over Who Enters Your Building
Restrict entry to authorised users and designated areas.
Reduce reliance on issuing large numbers of traditional keys.
Suitable cards or fobs can be removed from authorised access.
Different users can be allocated appropriate access permissions.
Certain systems can record access events for suitable users and doors.
Suitable systems can be expanded as requirements change.
Door-entry systems can provide controlled visitor access.
Access control can complement CCTV and wider security systems.
