In most commercial buildings today, an electronic key card is the standard way into secured areas, and every entry and exit can be logged.
A commercial access control system reduces everyday risks, from misplaced keys to doors left unsecured. You can activate and deactivate cards or fobs at will, set which doors each person can open, and track entry and exit throughout a building.
For businesses that need more security and monitoring, such as senior living facilities or multi-building campuses, access control can be a game changer. It can also seem daunting: hundreds of entry points, many types of doors, and buildings that stay in use by staff and guests throughout the project. Our technical project management team has a track record of completing these projects successfully.
How we implement access control
Survey and scope. Before any project starts, our technical team meets with facility management to understand the security need and document the user roles and what each should be able to access. Our techs survey the facility and build the scope of work, choosing systems that meet your goals without going over budget.
Install around your operations. We’re used to working in active facilities, including the most sensitive environments. A hands-on approach and careful scheduling keep disruption to daily activities to a minimum.
Check and support. A post-project survey confirms quality before we call the installation complete. Our technical project managers stay in contact afterward to answer questions, make last-minute changes and update the system as needed. New technology has its challenges, and we make the transition smooth so you can focus on your customers.
Where access control helps
Controlling fobs in real time, setting timers on door locks and monitoring access to every room makes management easier.
In senior living facilities, controlled access is especially valuable. Residents are protected from unauthorized visitors, and managers can control exit points in memory care units. Everyone in the building is accounted for and approved.
On an office campus, facility managers can see movement across buildings, and the timestamps can feed metrics or attendance records.
Security matters, and adding it doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking. Access control is part of our low voltage services. Start a plan with us, call 630.735.7000 or email sales@cptnetworks.com.
