Sonitrol New England’s Cloud Access delivers broad access control capabilities within a simple, intuitive, browser-based interface to conveniently secure and manage user location(s).
Cloud access control uses cloud-based software to manage user access without the need for dedicated hardware. While physical access control is an excellent option for high-security buildings, many companies find physical security restrictive while generating high infrastructure costs.
Cloud access control allows for comprehensive control in real time. A facility manager can control access 24/7 and react to changes immediately. This flexibility ensures that you’re always in control, no matter how large your organization grows.
One advantage of using cloud-based security is that it allows you to integrate your access control with your CCTV system, permitting you to explore various access scenarios. With more information at your fingertips, investigations will be easier to solve, and you’ll have increased compliance across the building.
The problem with using keys or other forms of assigned ID is that they’re easy to lose or steal, which could grant unwanted individuals access to your building. Biometric access control uses inherent personal characteristics, like iris scans, facial recognition, or fingerprints to identify individuals without additional peripherals.
Keycards and key fobs are a simple and effective method of access control. They allow you to control access to the building or particular areas of the building with ease. It’s a scalable system that you can tailor to your specific needs.
The system has some drawbacks, namely the chance of people losing or misplacing their cards or failing to return them after leaving the business. But overall, keycard access control is excellent for companies that require a low level of security.
Financial institutions benefit significantly from access control to restrict access to privileged information. A secure facility is essential to protecting vital data.

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