Stand Alone Access Control System NY

Standalone access control
A  stand  alone  access  control system  has a number of features that makes it the best choice for many small business owners, or for those who want to better secure their homes. Unlike some systems which are linked up to a network and can record who is going in and out and  when, stand alone systems  only let authorized individuals in or out of the door. They operate as a single unit (hence the name), and  do  not  have  as  much functionality as integrated or network access systems, but they are cheaper, and therefore a better option for businesses that do not need complicated systems.

Benefits

For  small business  owners, or  those  that  are  in  safe  neighborhoods or simply do not have anything that might entice a criminal  to attempt  to break in, a stand alone access system may be perfect. They are just as sophisticated as network systems,effectively keeping  unauthorized personnel out and letting those  with the right code or card through, but they are significantly lower in price.One of these systems can   improve  an  entry  point  that  was  previously  accessible with a key, so  that it cannot be picked, jimmied, or smashed open.


Business owners can even install one or more of these systems,for multi-layer protection. And because they are not linked up to a network, there  is  no  way  to  disable  the system  through that  portal. With card readers and key pads both available, it is easy for a property owner to pick the system that is best for his needs.A keypad access control system is often preferable for entry points that only a few people will pass through.The code can  be changed often to ensure that no unauthorized personnel gets a hold
of it, and it eliminates the need for a keys, which can be easily forgotten, stolen, or lost.


If  something  more  advanced  is required,  there  are  stand  alone  access  control  systems that use fingerprint recognition software in order to grant access. These are the most expensive of all stand alone systems, but they do provide the most security.

Drawbacks

There  are  no significant  drawbacks  to a stand alone access  system. While you cannot record who is going in and out of each door, most  businesses  do  not need  a record  of  that information— the access  control system is to keep criminals out, not to keep track
of employees.

Bottom Line

With a  wide variety of different locks to choose from, it is easy for a property owner to find the system that works for his needs.These
are easier to install and less expensive to maintain than networked systems, and for businesses or homes that do not need a network, they are by far the best solution.
