About Us

Top Features of Access Control

Critical for Safety

Access control will create a secure perimeter and protect sensitive areas where higher levels of security are needed. It can protect staff, visitors, and valuable assets by restricting entry to all but authorized personnel and visitors. The optimum access control solution streamlines the secure movement throughout the facility.

Fast Response Times

An integrated access control system can create a faster response to emergency personnel, provide the ability to place your building on immediate lock-down, and capture video surveillance images corresponding directly to access control movement.

Track Movement

Track the movement of authorized personnel in real-time and create history reports of normal activity. Also, create muster reports in the event of an incident.

Intrusion Monitoring

Managers of the interface can set their system to automatically arm or disarm access to one or all doors.

Building Automation

Building automation allows the facility manager access to control and monitor all connected build systems from a single interface. 

Visitor Mangement

Visitor management allows visitors’ movements to be tracked and entry restricted to sensitive areas. This is a simple and effective method to register, badge, and manage guests in your facility.

Featured Project

Access Control in a school

Ashton-Franklin Center Elementary and High School serve the communities and surrounding areas of Ashton and Franklin Grove, Illinois. They are located in Lee County, about 2 hours from our Peoria office. The scope of the project at both schools was to provide access control at all perimeter doors. An access control system is an electronic system that limits and tracks entry to certain places.
