FAQ

In physical security, “access control” is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource. Access control systems help businesses and security teams monitor who comes and goes from a building, office, or other facility. These systems come in a variety of types and can be designed to meet specific requirements.

Access control entry is the process of using credentials, such as key cards, smartphones, or biometrics, to gain access to an area. Security teams and property managers will use access control entry at parking gates, outside buildings, offices, conference rooms, building gyms, and more. When a credential is presented to the credential door reader, electronic information is passed through the access control system. The credential signal is deciphered by the system’s database. If the credential information matches, then authorization is granted, and the door opens.

It really depends. Some organizations only need to secure one door, while others need multiple buildings and hundreds of doors. Some businesses want to use their existing hardware while others will want to future-proof their security. No matter what your security needs, SafeTouch can help. We offer on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-based access control systems, all of which will improve your safety, security, and efficiency. We will work with you every step of the way – from product research to implementation – to make sure you get the best solution for you.
