Commercial Access Control Systems

469, 000 UK businesses experienced crime in 2023, most of which were theft, burglary, and vandalism. Surprisingly, though, just 5% of businesses have installed commercial access control systems, and only 1% have security gates and/or barriers on their premises.

Crimes against commercial companies cost UK business owners millions every year. But, many can be avoided by installing the right security measures. Our cutting-edge access control solutions are designed to provide businesses of all sizes with comprehensive security. That way, you can ensure that only authorised personnel can enter designated areas and control access via a commercial intercom system.

What are Commercial Access Control Systems?

Commercial access control systems are advanced security solutions that manage and restrict access to buildings, rooms, and specific areas within your commercial premises. They can protect important data, equipment, and of course, people. 

These systems replace traditional lock and key mechanisms with digital credentials, such as key cards, biometrics, or mobile apps, to grant or deny access to authorised individuals. They offer a more flexible, efficient, and secure way to manage entry points while providing an audit trail of all access events.

Benefits of Commercial Access Control Systems

Installing an access control system can offer your business a number of benefits. These include:

• Enhanced security: Protect your business, employees, and assets from unauthorised access and intruders. Control who enters your premises and when they can do so.
• Improved convenience: Eliminate the need for physical keys and simplify access management. Easily add or revoke access for employees and visitors, even remotely.
• Custom access levels: Assign different access levels and permissions to employees, ensuring they can only enter authorised areas, improving overall security.
• Audit trail: Keep track of all access events and generate reports, enhancing accountability and aiding in investigations if necessary.
• Integration: Integrate access control with other security systems, such as surveillance cameras and alarms, for a comprehensive security solution.
• Cost-effective: Reduce the costs associated with rekeying locks and managing physical keys. Access control systems are a long-term, cost-effective solution.
• Scalability: Easily scale your access control system as your business grows, accommodating new employees, locations, or access points.
• Remote management: Manage and monitor your access control system from anywhere using a web-based interface or mobile app.
• Visitor management: Streamline visitor access by issuing temporary credentials or QR codes, ensuring a seamless check-in process.

Types of Commercial Security Systems

There is a wide range of commercial security systems to choose from, depending on your access needs, number of entry points, and budget. Here are some of the most common types to consider.

• Card-based access control: This solution uses proximity or smart cards to grant access to your property. These work well for small to large offices, hospitals, or government buildings.
• Keypad access control: This is a simple and cost-effective solution that asks users to enter a PIN code to unlock a door or gate. It’s an ideal option for businesses with moderate security needs, such as a warehouse or retailer.
• Biometric door entry: These systems use unique physical traits like facial recognition, fingerprints, or retinal scans to verify identity and grant access. As such, it’s a great solution for high-security facilities like labs or data centres.
• Key fob entry systems: Users scan a key fob to gain access to a building or area. This is a convenient solution for hotels or gated communities.
• Perimeter security: These systems use motion sensors and barriers to protect the perimeter of your premises. As a result, they’re ideal for industrial facilities, warehouses, or any commercial building that needs high external security.
• Lift access control: This type of solution limits access to specific floors or authorised zones in a building. Therefore, it’s a good option for high-rise offices, government buildings, or financial institutions.
