There was a time when surveillance was
a highly man power intensive task. Today with improvements in technology a lot
of surveillance tasks have been taken over by high tech electronic equipment.
If one were to look around; there are different type of access control systems in every shop, house, office, public
buildings, parks and any other place where safety and security of human lives
is a concern.
All businesses
houses are fitted with CCTV cameras not only inside the building but also on the
outside to monitor who passes by the establishment! This will alert authorities
in advance of any suspicious looking people who may cause trouble. Cameras also
help identify criminals and put out a search team on them. The primary question
that every security personnel should ask is how the crime happened to take
place anyway.
Did the criminal have easy access? Does the business have any special access control systems or not?
If a business has only restricted access then it stands to benefit in many ways:
1. Only people who
have been authorized by the organization can enter the building. This ensures
that no one who is unwanted or is a stranger can simply walk in even if he or she
is visiting with good intent. There are various restricted access systems such
as:
a.
Code access
b.
Retina
recognition
c.
Card access
d.
Fobs
e.
Proximity cards
f.
Staff ID
This means that only when a valid card is held up to
the reader and recognized will entry be allowed. The benefit of such systems is
that confidential information does not get stolen or leaked out. For example, only
teachers and head of departments may be authorized access to a room full of
examination papers.
2. Now, car parking
space has also become a precious commodity. Before the use of access control
systems it was seen that often unauthorized people would park their
vehicles and employees of an organization would find it difficult to park their
own 4 or 2 wheelers on reaching office! Barriers can be fitted on various
spaces so that only after a valid card swipe or code input will it is lifted.
3. Moreover when car
parking lots are subjected to restricted access; it also limits access to the
main building itself.
Now, although the efficiency of such systems is not at all
doubtful; the cost can be quite significant. This leads one to a very important
conclusion and that is to the choice of the security company. An inexperienced
and unprofessional company will not deliver optimum amount of safety and
security to a businesses.
