One of the most important features of electronic access control solutions vs. the traditional lock and key is the idea of security. Only the administrator will have the ability to make, update and remove access from it’s personal. Keycards cannot be made for unwanted guests the way an old school key can be cut. Each customized ID card must be assigned to a specific person and given credentials. On that note you can give access to some areas but not all. You can also suspend access or reassign it to new employees after someone has been terminated. The age of worrying about unwanted people having a key to your home and/or business is OVER.

Access Control System Applications
A wide range of clientele throughout Long Island and the New York area can make use of access control systems, including commercial and government entities. You can secure your building for your residents/employees or give them specific access to certain areas through an assortment of different access tools.
Popular applications include:
- Apartments/Developments
- Financial Institutions — banks, credit unions, etc.
- Office buildings
- Restaurants
- Schools and universities
- Auto dealers
- Retailers
- Construction companies
- Government buildings — courthouses, city halls, etc.
Each of these locations requires varying levels of security, as well as different tracking tools. Paxton Access Control provides a variety of different systems and devices to fit your needs. You can pick and choose which rooms are accessible to specific individuals, and you can track who enters the system at what time and date by getting realtime location updates, which can also help with maintaining a more efficient payroll.
The different types of access control systems are as follows:
- Watchprox: If you want a security measure that’s unobtrusive and secure, you can attach these tokens to your watch or bracelet for convenient access without the bulkiness of a keychain or wallet. Each unit is uniquely coded, and they’re easy to setup with Net2 software.
- Key Fobs: Key fobs are durable units that you can attach to a ring with other essential keys. They come in quantities of 10, 25, 50 and 100, and they offer a variety of colors. Fobs contain user tokens with their associated shadow cards, an enrollment card, a door open time card (used to change the period the door remains unlocked), silent operation card (used to stop the reader from beeping) and fail open release card (used when a fail open lock is installed).
- ISO Proximity Cards: Proximity cards contain small radio transponders that connect with the reader. All you need to do is hold the programmed card near the reader, and it will grant instant access. These cards, which are sized and shaped like a credit card, will fit in a wallet or connect to a drawstring. You can have them printed with photos for added security.
How Does the Access Control System Work?
Access control systems will vary depending on your needs, but they generally follow three necessary steps:
If you’re worried about key fobs or other tokens being lost or stolen, you can have them immediately suspended from the system remotely as soon as you learn about it. To avoid hacking and skimming, you can implement a higher-security handshake, or code, between the card or tag and reader to help ensure readers will only accept information from specially coded credentials. There also other software fail-safes you can implement to create an additional level of security.
You should also be sure to tell authorized users to watch out for people looking to sneak into the area behind them.
