Commercial Entry Systems: Secure Your Entry and Your Business

Access control starts with the entry system, which, in a commercial building, typically is a door that remains locked on the outside while remaining unlocked from the inside. This allows people to leave the building freely when their business has concluded for the time being or in case of emergency while restricting building access to unwanted visitors. Knowing your opinions for commercial entry systems is the first step to making your Utah office workspace more secure.

Advances in Entry Systems

From the rudimentary door buzzers of yesteryear to the high-tech wireless cloud-based systems of the modern era, entry systems have grown and adapted to address the growing need for more security. This adaptability instills confidence in building owners and managers that their security needs can be effectively met.

Wireless Set Ups

Security systems once required unsightly wires that connected the hand unit to the control interface. Building managers and landlords were typically expected to spend part of their budget to hide these wires to prevent tripping hazards and maintain the building's visual appeal. With the advancement of wireless integration, security setup is more seamless and cost-effective. It also allows for greater access control through remote access.

Keypads, Cards, and Fobs

Building keys, like the metal keys used for residential homes, pose a huge security risk to a commercial building if the keys are lost or stolen. This is why many businesses have switched to key fobs, cards, and pads with a security pin because if cards or fobs are stolen or lost, they can be deactivated, and pins can be changed as needed, allowing managers to maintain building security while granting their employees to needed access to the building.

Video Intercom

Commercial buildings have used security cameras and videos for decades, and with the integration of voice intercoms into video, these systems are becoming more sophisticated. While most often used in multi-tenant residential complexes, video intercom systems also benefit security staff in commercial buildings because they can talk to potential visitors before allowing them access to the building.

Today, many video intercom systems are wireless and can be managed remotely with cloud-based storage, which managers can access to review timestamps and manage permissions.
