State-of-the-art access control systems

Casual theft from business premises is becoming more common. Opportunistic thieves can easily enter a busy office or workplace, often pretending to be a visitor or contractor, and steal valuable items such as handbags, mobile phones, laptops, PDAs, and other items left unattended. A stolen handbag left on a chair might contain cash, credit cards, car keys, house keys, a driving license, or a bank statement with personal information. The consequences of such a theft—ranging from emotional distress to significant disruption—can be severe.

Businesses also face potential financial and legal issues from the theft of sensitive information. Certain areas of your business, such as server rooms, finance offices, or confidential file storage, may need to be restricted to authorized personnel only. An Access Control System, installed by Knight Installations, can help you manage who enters your premises and which areas they can access.

We offer a variety of solutions to give you full control over your business premises. Whether you’re looking for a simple code-lock system, a standalone access solution, or a fully integrated PC-based system with biometric readers, we are confident in our ability to meet your security needs.

Standalone access control

Installing an access control system at a single entry point is an effective way to regulate access to secure areas. Typically, these systems include a code-lock or keypad connected to an electric door release or electromagnetic locking mechanism. If a higher level of security is needed, or if there’s a risk that a code could be accidentally shared or intentionally disclosed, we recommend installing a swipe or proximity card reader.

Each authorised user receives a unique card or proximity device, which grants access to the premises when presented to the reader. These cards and tags can be easily removed from the system, ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter your building or secure area.

For environments where security is critical, biometric readers offer an added layer of protection. These devices can identify unique human characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial features, retinal blood vessel patterns, or the distinct color and pattern of the iris, providing highly secure access control.

PC based network access control

A PC or Network based access control solution can be installed to provide security to multiple doors within a single site or even across multiple sites. Programming and activation logging is controlled from a single remote location.

All user activity can be monitored and recorded providing an instant report of who passed through a particular door at a particular time of day. Systems can also be created to provide time and attendance data for the purpose of logging and monitoring when staff arrive for work and leave at the end of the day.

In an emergency – such as a fire – doors can be remotely unlocked by a master user or automatically opened when connected to a fire alarm interface. The system can also print a roll call list to ensure that everyone has safely evacuated the premises.

Access can be organised by user groups and restricted to particular times of the day. A simple user friendly software package allows easy programming, set-up, maintenance and monitoring of the most secure areas of your premises.

Does your business require regular monitoring? Do you want to keep a watch on visitors on your premises? An Access Control system is what you need.
