360Connect LLC, a company based in Austin, TX, has explained in a new blog post that explains the importance of commercial building access management systems. These systems are a combination of software and hardware and are used to control who have access to a particular building or area. The access control system enables the user to restrict where employees, customers, tenants, and others can access in a particular property. The article can be accessed at https://www.360connect.com/product-blog/building-access-management-systems-explained-security-in-the-palm-of-your-hand/.
Hardware often used for building access management include: fob/key readers, smart locks, biometric locks, keypad locks, and video surveillance systems. There are a number of possible keyless entry methods, such as: key fob, mobile phone application, voice recognition, magstripe card, fingerprint recognition, and facial recognition. Software that is commonly used for these systems are: cloud-based access control systems, which are also known as online/electric systems, and integration tools for connecting with other software, such as HVAC monitoring, fire alarms, lighting, and more. The kind of entry method and hardware used by a company will depend on the system chosen and the budget.
Building access management systems offer several benefits for companies. These include: robust security and safety, emergency response features, easy management of multiple properties, ability to establish restrictions for areas, and savings by eliminating the need for physical keys.
Meanwhile, a visitor management system is used for organizing and keeping track of the people that visit the business. It offers a simple but effective method of registering, tracking, badging, and managing visitors. Although the amount of information gather may vary, the typical credentials collected include: name, phone number, and timestamp. More information about visitor management systems can be gleaned from https://www.360connect.com/product-blog/what-is-a-visitor-management-system/.
It is important to note that the traditional visitor management system uses pen and paper. The information is placed on a logbook and information collection is done at the front of an office on a sign-in sheet where visitors have to log their name. This has the advantage of being low cost but accuracy can’t be assured and the information can easily be tampered with.
On the other hand, a digital visitor management system can be used to streamline a company’s visitor tracking system. The system gathers visitor information electronically through a tablet or computer. This allows the information to be stored instantly and it can be shared seamlessly. Some of the benefits that only a digital visitor management system can provide are: photo ID scanning, QR code scanning, screening of visitors on arrival, database searching, and automatic door access.
