Electronic Access Control

Contact ASI for Electronic Access Control Solutions

Securing your facilities, protecting your personnel, and safeguarding important confidential information—for all these tasks, an electronic access control system offers far greater flexibility than any mechanical systems, such as traditional keyed or push-button combination locks, could hope to provide. As the technology evolves, newer access methods, such as biometrics and mobile-based systems, offer both greater convenience and enhanced security.

At Allegiance Security Integration, we design and install electronic access control systems for a wide variety of clients in the Washington DC area, Maryland, Northern Virginia, Idaho, and Texas. By combining the latest technologies from our manufacturing partners with our own designs, we can provide your institution with a complete security solution, including access control, video surveillance, visitor management, and secure monitoring systems. Previous clients have included a variety of government, military, educational, commercial, industrial, and private institutions, and we have extensive experience in the security industry.

Benefits of Electronic Access Control for Businesses

With an electronic access control system, you will have far greater control over the security of your facility. Here are just a few of the things that an electronic system can do:

• Grant or restrict access to each area according to employee status or clearance
• Allow limited access to visitors, suppliers or vendors
• Revoke access to anyone at any time, even remotely
• Enable or limit access to secure areas or equipment according to time
• Enable access by keycard, password, PIN, biometrics or a combination of methods
• Report or log unauthorized access attempts
• Monitor entries and exits of personnel for each secure area
• Generate reports on entry and exit events, as well as personnel movements
• Restrict entries or exits during an emergency or a security situation

Combined with other equipment like physical access control and surveillance, an electronic access control system from ASI can create a complete solution that meets all your security needs, as well as your budget constraints. With new technologies like NFC or Bluetooth mobile authentication, gesture controls, and biometrics, we can enhance your security, while providing more convenience for your personnel.

Why Mechanical Systems Are Inferior to Electronic Solutions

Mechanical locks have done a decent job of securing facilities and information in the past, but compared to electronic access control systems, they are inflexible, insecure, and they lack advanced monitoring technologies. Specifically, keyed locks have several problems:

• Keys can easily be duplicated with minimal knowledge and simple tools
• Each lock offers a finite number of configurations, ensuring duplicate keys
• Keys can easily be lost or stolen
• Many locks can be picked or bypassed with simple tools
• Mechanical locks cannot monitor who enters or exits a secure area

Similarly, locks with mechanical push-button combinations also have significant problems. They offer only a limited number of combinations, and those combinations can easily be shared with unauthorized personnel or deduced through simple monitoring. Additionally, they provide only limited access control, with no way to restrict entry by time or employee status, and no way to log individual entries or exits. Electronic access control systems offer far more security for your facility, and they are extremely customizable.
