Where we mount them
The building entrance, the server room, the stockroom, the till area, the management offices.
We start from how the company is organised: who should enter which rooms and what happens to their access on the day they leave.
The building entrance, the server room, the stockroom, the till area, the management offices.
Magnetic locks, turnstiles, readers and controllers.
A card, a fob, a phone, and where cards get passed around, a fingerprint.
Permissions by role, time windows, visitor passes that expire.
Attendance summaries exported into the HR system.
Integration with the cameras and with the joining and leaving procedures.
Three to five access points are installed in a couple of days.
We look at the doors, their type and whether power and cable routes exist.
We draw the layout, select the hardware and map the zones to roles.
We install, connect and configure the controllers and permissions.
We issue the cards, train the responsible person and write the procedure for issuing and withdrawing them.
Without a rule for withdrawing passes the system becomes decoration. A leaver's card that was not blocked on their last day keeps opening doors. Revoking access belongs on the exit checklist next to handing back the laptop, not surfacing a week later when somebody happens to remember.
Not at all. An ordinary office needs no more than magnetic locks on the entrance and a couple of important rooms. Turnstiles make sense where people arrive in a stream and the record has to be strict: a plant, a large office, a site with controlled access.
A card is cheaper and simpler but easy to pass to a colleague. A fingerprint cannot be passed on, though it costs more and needs special handling: biometrics fall into a separate category of data with stricter storage requirements.
You can, and that is often exactly why the system is installed. But people have to be told, and the rules for using the access data set down in a document. Introducing such tracking silently and retroactively is a direct route to an employment dispute.
Describe the site and tell us how many people work there. We will propose a layout of access points and price the equipment.
