Accolade Access Control

Have an access control-related question? We have the answer! Check out our FAQs below to learn more about our company and services.

  • What are access control systems?

    Access control can be applied to both physical security solutions and logical ones. The access control system permits only authorized personnel to enter the building or system. The system does this with a password protection system, or for a physical system, a key card or fob is utilized. These fobs can be controlled remotely to be activated or deactivated.

  • How are access control systems installed?

    Access control systems begin with a consultation with us at Surveillance Secure. Hardware will be needed for physical access systems, including card or fob readers, door switches, and a control panel. The control panel is integral to the system and controls all the different access points of the building. Access control systems are versatile and can grow with your business, so if you need a bigger system, simply integrate a new control panel.

     

    The server of the system will have all the users in a database, which allows for customization of access times and locations. When the card is introduced to the reader, a frequency is read by the controller, and the user is verified through the database. If verified, the door will unlock. If not, the controller registers the breach and the proper monitors will be notified.

  • Do access control systems work when the power is out?

    Yes! Systems have battery backup plans for emergencies to keep the access control system functioning. If the power is out for longer than the battery backup can accommodate, this is a situation in which you would need to utilize physical keys.
  • Does the system just work on doors?
