Access control systems are essential for ensuring the security of office buildings. Whether for specific areas within a building or securing the exterior, access control systems are a key component to making sure that only authorized personnel are in specific areas. Read on to learn more about the importance of access control systems in Houston office buildings. 

Safe and Secure for Visitors and Occupants

Office buildings tend to have multiple businesses under one roof, so what works for one business may not work for all. Access control systems are heavily customizable. A common practice for allowing visitors to access a building is issuing key cards or visitor passes to those that regularly visit such as patients or clients of the occupying businesses. Additionally, setting passcodes for visitors is an option. 

By issuing key cards and passcodes, building owners are able to easily keep track of those that enter and exit the building, ensuring that no unauthorized visitors are entering. 

What Does an Access Control System Consist Of?

Access control systems can have many components, including ID-badge scanners, fingerprint scanners, keypads, or video monitoring. By combining some of these components, WesTec will build a system that truly suits your business’ needs.
