Frequently Asked Questions

Access control systems can be complex solutions. Here are some frequently asked questions

How can access control save your business money?

Without access control, your business relies on locks and keys to control entry into the building. This means that employees must be trusted with keys in order to do their job. If a key is lost or a disgruntled fired employee refuses to return the key, then you have to pay for a locksmith to change out all of the locks in the building. This can be an expensive and time consuming process. With Access Control, each employee is given a fob that can be used to gain entry to the building. If they lose the fob or refuse to return it, the manager of the access control system can delete the lost or stolen fob and administer a new one at no cost.

How does access control ensure employee safety?

Access control will prevent any unauthorized individuals from entering the building. Whether that is someone off the street or a disgruntled former employee, this is an essential preventative measure to keep your employees safe from external threats. Access control can also prevent against internal threats. If there are access controlled doors inside the facility, a building lockdown can help contain a violent threat to a specific area while keeping everyone outside that area safe.

Why is access control so important?

Access control is a vital tool for managing your business and, more importantly, ensuring the safety of your employees. Not only does it allow you to limit the individuals who have access to your facility and when, it can help you control movement within your facility. This helps with unauthorized access, disgruntled former employees, and rapid response threats.

What is the best access control system?

The hosted access control system is significantly easier to manage and updates than a traditional locally managed system. A traditional access control system is hosted on a server within the building. This increases the installation cost, limits the systems expandability and puts the responsibility of maintenance and upgrades on you. With a hosted access control system, the system will be hosted on Sonitrol New England’s server. This means that the installation cost will be significantly lower and you can expand the system to an unlimited number of doors and buildings anywhere in the world. It also means that Sonitrol New England is responsible for maintaining and upgrading all the hardware and software on the system.
