Access Control

Access control refers to security measures and techniques to restrict or permit access to your home or business. Access control systems are implemented to ensure that only authorised users are granted access to protected resources, while unauthorised access is prevented or detected and responded to.

Having Access Control is an essential part of security and risk management of your home or business, and it helps organisations to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their resources and information. It can be a simple digital keypad controlling one door with a latch or magnetic lock or a networked multidoor system allowing access in and out. The network can record rollcall for fire and the movement of people around a building.

Over the years, we have used many types of access control, including Bewater and Videx, today, we lean more towards Paxton to ensure secure access to those who need it.

Roll Call

Roll Call is a feature in access control systems that reports who is currently present on a particular site or premises. It allows authorised personnel to quickly and easily check who is on the premises at any given time, which can be helpful in emergencies and for everyday security and safety purposes.

In an access control system with Roll Call functionality, when an individual enters or exits a building, their access credentials are recorded by the system, and this information is then used to generate a report of all individuals currently on the premises. The report can view by authorised personnel through a computer or mobile device. It can provide details such as the time of entry, the location of the individual, and any other relevant information.

Roll Call is particularly useful in emergencies, such as a fire or other incident, where it is essential to know who is on the premises and whether they have evacuated safely. It can also be useful in monitoring attendance and timekeeping in workplaces and ensuring that only authorised personnel are present on the premises.
