Electronic access control systems may seem like something that’s appeared very recently, but that’s not the case. In fact, you can trace the beginnings of these security solutions all the way back to the sixties. In the time since, they’ve advanced further and further, always getting more secure while offering building owners greater convenience along the way. In this blog, we’ll touch on some of the benefits of our key card entry systems for buildings in Orange County. Along the way, we’ll highlight some of their strengths, as well as why you should get these systems from Action1st.
One of the greatest benefits to our key card entry systems is control. They put the business owner completely in control of who enters a building, when they do it and where. Those three topics are all covered by the audit trail our system develops. So, with our systems, you can control who is able to get into your building. You’re able to control what times they’re able to do so. You can have some people allowed to enter early in the morning and others late at night. This makes it easy to schedule holiday or temp workers. Those are just a few of the benefits of these systems.
With our key cards, you can make sure that everyone has access to the building exactly when you want them to have access. That’s because each of our cards is unique from every other card. They aren’t programmed to a client, building or business – each of our cards are programmed for each specific individual. Indeed, that’s how we’re able to allow individualized access for each person. For example, a delivery person that only has access to your building at 6 AM won’t be able to come back with the same key card late at night. Through this, you’re able to make your security system truly amenable for your business.
Flexibility is built into our system. Over the years of providing security solutions to our clients, we know that no two security situations are alike. “Cookie cutter” or “one size fits all” options won’t cut it, as every client’s (and indeed, every building’s) security needs are different. So, with our systems, you can limit access by internal and external control. Internal control is typically used for access to sensitive areas within buildings. These could be the areas where large servers contain sensitive information, supply rooms with expensive supplies and other areas that businesses need to be able to keep lay people out of.
By that same token, external access control usually keeps people from entering facilities. Some examples of these include fitness centers, storage facilities, college dorms, parking garages and locations like that. No matter whether you need external or internal solutions, we can put together a package that fits all of your specific needs. This way, you can keep track of who entered when. So, should the worst happen, and some kind of theft or other illegal act occurs, no investigation is necessary to discover who was where when. You can simply call up the logs which will tell you exactly who had access and when they were there.
It’s important to note that these solutions can fit a multitude of locations. You don’t have to have one server for a building or something like that. Indeed, many of our clients monitor several properties from just one place. They don’t even all have to be in Orange County. Several of our clients are able to monitor properties clear across the ocean from just one server. As we mentioned earlier, convenience is so important. The best security solutions are the ones that keep you secure while also making it easier to do your business. At Action1st, we offer you the best of both worlds.
When it comes time to restrict someone’s access or lock them out of the system, it’s a matter of pressing a few buttons. You don’t have to worry about going out to get a new key. You don’t have to have the awkward situation of asking a fired employee for their key card, then hope that they haven’t made some kind of duplicate. By that same token, it’s easy to grant someone new access as well. You just do the same thing: press a few buttons and they come in.
Here at Action1st, we have a security solution for your building. To create that solution for you, we have to see your building. Give us a call at (949) 828-3008 or send us a message through our site to set up a completely free onsite review. We’ll do a complete review and then present you with secure options that meet your budget.
The electronic commercial door locks that we offer can help with a wide variety of different locations. One particular kind of commercial building that our locks help with quite a bit is shopping malls. That’s true for a variety of reasons. Shopping malls all overuse our locks to keep their items and shoppers secure. In this blog, we’ll go over how our locks aid malls as well as how they can provide security in many different situations.
A shopping mall is unlike any other kind of building. There’s so much that goes into a shopping mall. Few other kinds of buildings have so many different kinds of establishments in them. Shopping malls have movie theaters, gyms, bookstores, furniture stores and so many other kinds of shops. They also have much more than shops, too. Some malls even have complete amusement parks, daycare, recording studios and so much else. For our locks to work for shopping malls, they have to be able to keep all of those kinds of buildings secure.
Many shopping malls use our electronic access control systems. You may have heard of this kind of lock before, as it’s also called “keyless access control.” What sets these locks apart from others is that they are both secure and simple. They don’t require someone having to hold onto a whole bunch of different kinds of keys or anything like that. These locks make it so that they can all be managed from just one place, one simple, single interface. That makes assignments easy, among many other facets of simplicity.
We mention that these locks don’t require keys. In fact, their flexibility is one of their most popular traits. They can be opened with a key card, but they can also be opened with a personal identification number as well. That’s only the beginning of their flexibility however. They can be made specific to the users at a given time. So, if you want to give access to a delivery worker or a temp employee for only a given period of time, that’s possible. If you have a morning shift and a night shift, each of those employees can also be given access solely for the times that they’re on the job. These locks put the users in control.
Part of what makes these kinds of locks so unique is that they provide complete accountability. You can know who entered when and whether they were supposed to. They provide a complete audit trail. So, every entrance and exit is monitored as well as fully recorded. You won’t have to look far or search for this information, either. Generating reports can be done with just the press of a button. You do that, and you can see everyone who came to any door or came out through it at any time.
Putting in commercial door locks shouldn’t be difficult. It should not be, under any circumstances, the kind of thing that requires a business to be shuttered for any length of time. That’s part of why we made these security locks so easy to put in. Then, they’re easily given to each tenant. So, each tenant is given their number, and they’re ready to go. They don’t have to get used to a key or have anything to remember beyond the door. Plus, when you give a tenant a number, you put them in control of their own security. They can manage their own doors, they can manage their access permissions, and they can make all of the choices they have to for their business and security.
These locks can work in multiple ways. Some of our clients opt for an “access control keypad.” These use personal identification numbers. People just type them into the keypad and open the door. Since each person has a unique number, it’s easy to track who comes in and out. Another option that customers available themselves of is the card reader. The same principle as you might be used to a card is used; it opens the door and lets the person in. This also makes deactivation easy, as a person’s access can be revoked in just the press of a button.
We understand that not every shopping mall will know exactly what kind of security solution they want. That’s why we like working in shopping malls in Orange County and other commercial locations. We love sitting down with prospective clients to figure out how we can best provide them with the security they deserve. Feel free to contact us for more information or to get started with your door locks by giving us a call at (949) 828-3008 or heading to our commercial door lock website.
“Biometric keyless door entry system” may sound like something that’s science fiction. It may sound a bit like the kind of thing someone in a lab coat says in a movie before they’re attacked by a robot or something. However, this biometric technology is a very real thing. These locks are some of our most effective, unique and convenient locks as well. They could be the right fit for many living conditions and businesses. In the article below, we’ll explain what biometric locks are and some scenarios where they are perfect security solutions.
“Biometric” is simply a way to identify people by their traits or characteristics. You may be wondering “what does that mean, traits or characteristics?” All that means in this context is identifiers that are physiological. You already recognize people by their physiological traits all the time. When you hear the voice of a close friend or loved one from far away, even if you don’t see them, you know it’s them, right? Voice is one of the most popular biometric lock traits. You can set your locks to open with the sound of your voice or someone else’s. Think about how convenient that is.
If you’ve ever forgotten your keys, you know how frustrating that can be. One minute, you’re all set to get on with your day, whether you’re heading to work, school, or on any kind of social endeavor. Then the next, you realize you’ve forgotten your keys and life just stops. Now, you can’t think about anything or focus on anything without getting your keys. That has to be done. It can eat up an entire day, ruin a day or more, and lead to all kinds of problems. Even worse, when you lose your keys, it can compromise your locks. After all, if you lost your keys, it means that someone else may find them. Someone else you don’t know. The only way to be safe, then, is to change all your locks. That can be even more expensive and time consuming.
With biometric locks, it’s literally impossible to lose your keys. Like, completely, 100% not possible to lose your keys. After all, you aren’t going to lose your voice. Sure, you might be a little bit hoarse or have a cough, but it’s still your voice. The locks are still going to open. Additionally, voice isn’t the only physiological trait that these locks would identify. They also can pick up your DNA. No one’s forgetting their DNA in their other coat, either. These locks will open when you want them to open. Let forgetting your keys and being locked out be a thing of the past.
Obviously, this is a complicated, space-age technology. This is the kind of thing that seemed centuries in the future only a few short years ago. That being said, while the technology is complicated, biometric systems all use the exact same three steps in their functionality. That first step is typically called “enrollment,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like. You (or your employees, tenants, whoever) uses the system and it takes in all your basic information. Your name, perhaps an ID number – it takes all that info. Then, it puts those biometrics to work.
The next thing the biometrics do is that they capture an image, recording or some other kind of stored information of your specific trait. If you’re using the biometric as a voice lock, it records your voice. If you’re doing the fingerprint thing, it records your fingerprint and so forth. From there, the lock gets to work storing it. It analyzes your trait. Then, it’s stored in the lock. Typically, it translates your trait into a graph or code. If you’d like, some of our systems can put this info on a smart card for you. That’s one more way that we make our security solutions to fit your needs.
After the above has occurred, the lock is ready for you. Then, the next time you try to access the lock, the lock makes a comparison. It looks at the trait it has on file for you, then it looks at your fingerprint, or hears your voice or however you set it. Then, lets you in or it doesn’t. The sensor, computer and software all work in harmony to protect and secure your location. These are some of our most popular locks because they provide so much security and they’re so easy to use. We understand how they can sound almost too good to be true. For more information about biometric locks or really any of our locks, head to our website or just give us a call at (949) 828-3008.
A secure office is a safe one. Moreover, an office that’s safe is one where the employees can focus on their jobs. It’s a lot easier to be productive when you don’t have so much to worry about. This is true for employees as well as owners. When employees don’t have to worry about the security of their building, it’s so much easier to focus on their jobs. By that same token, when company owners don’t have to worry about security, it’s that much easier to run a company. We have many different commercial electronic security door locks for your business. We’ll lay some of them out below, but it’s important to keep in mind that each of them can secure a wide variety of commercial establishments.
Have you ever had to make a new key for a new employee? If you’ve done this before, you know that it can be a real pain. It can especially be a real pain if you have a small business. You have to go somewhere and pay to have the key made. Then, you have to give it to the new employee. Of course, often before you do that, you also have to have taken a key from the last employee who left/was let go. You can’t have them using that key to come in whenever they want. That being said, you can’t control who can come in and who’s restricted from doing so, either. It’s this exact conundrum that we created our electronic security door locks for.
When you have our keyless locks, you don’t have to worry about giving another employee keys. In fact, all you have to do to give them a key is to give them a code. You choose the code and then you give it to them. That being said, you can control so much more than just that. You can also pick when you want them to be able to come to your office and when you want them locked out. You’ll control everything about when they come in and on what terms. This way, you never have to worry about the angry, fired employee coming back to cause a scene or worse. We’ve found over the years that when business owners are in control of their security, they’re more empowered to do the right thing.
No matter how technologically advanced our locks are, they wouldn’t be worth it if they were easily broken into. Our locks are secure. They provide security, and more importantly, they provide the kind of security that gives a business owner peace of mind. Instead of worrying about your security, remember that these locks have it covered. These locks have secured so many different kinds of commercial buildings and now they can do the same for you. They’ve secured entire shopping malls, amusement parks and other huge buildings with so much foot traffic. On the other hand, they’ve also secured small offices, storage spaces, and other locations that may not be as big but require big security. You can fit our locks to fit what you need them to be.
Trying to keep track of who comes in and out of your building manually can be a genuine nightmare. If you’ve ever tried to do this, or seen a company that’s done so, you know what a disaster it often turns into. Bad, illegible handwriting is perhaps the best case scenario. Many people may not even write anything, making your records false before you even get a chance to look at them. We knew when we made keyless entry locks we wanted to make sure that business owners could figure out who was in their buildings when. That’s why we made it so easy to generate reports. Now, with just a couple clicks, you’ll have a full, complete report of who’s in your building, when they were in there, and when they left. We’ve always strongly believed that the more informed a business owner is about their security, the better decisions they’ll make.
We hope that our customers never have to use our keyless entry locks in an emergency. However, should the worst arise; your locks will be ready. Press a couple buttons and you can have a complete lockdown. All exterior doors will shut, keeping you secure until the authorities can arrive. That way, the people inside can be fully protected, no matter what’s going on outside. Of course, these locks are just one of our many different kinds of security solutions. Some prefer keycards, other PIN numbers, and still others take advantage of our biometric locks. For more information about how our locks can keep you safe, give us a call at (949) 828-3008 or head to our website.
There’s a lot that goes into calling a keyless entry system the “best keyless entry system.” We believe our keyless entry system absolutely stacks up very well against keyless entry systems that you could find elsewhere. We built our keyless entry system to have the absolute best traits of the other keyless entry systems on the market. That way, our keyless entry system could be seen as the best of all worlds, all of the positive attributes with none of the negatives. In this blog, we’ll cover what goes into our keyless entry system and how it’s set apart from the rest.
No one wants to have to carry keys. They’re bulky, they’re cumbersome, eventually someone’s going to lose them, they aren’t easy to keep track of, and if you carry them in your pocket, eventually they’ll dig into your side. We made our keyless entry system to replace key locks. Additionally, these keyless entry systems are designed to provide more security as well as more convenience. Instead of worrying about your security, a keyless entry door system can be just the thing to assuage your fears. So many of our clients that we’ve spoken to tell us unbidden about how a keyless entry system improved their peace of mind.
You might be thinking: “OK, so a keyless entry system doesn’t use a key. How does it open?” The answer is: “in many different ways.” We offer many keyless options. That way, our clients can find one that perfectly fits their location, situation, personnel and more. For example, many of our keyless locks use a keypad. When people come into the building, they just have to type a personal identification number into the keypad. This particular kind of lock puts the owner in control by allowing them to pick a number for people when they want them to have access. If you have someone dropping by with a delivery, you can pick a time when you want them to have access. By that same token, they won’t have access would you prefer they were unable to get in.
When you have a lock that opens with a key, you can’t really control who can get in when. Sure, you can suggest times that a person has access, but you can’t control it. You can’t program the lock to reject the key or vice versa. That’s what our keyless entry system allows for you. You can choose when you want someone to be able to get in and when you don’t want them to. Another method that allows you to do this is with our keyless card reader. This works exactly like it sounds like: you give out cards that get access at different times. You choose when you want the cards to work and when you don’t want them to. That way, you’re forever in control of who’s in your building and when.
We’ve all seen fingerprint locks in movies for several years. These locks are just as hard to beat as you’ve always been lead to believe they are. As with all of our keyless entry locks, you are in charge of who has access. You maintain that access, too. Say that you have a tenant in your building that you want to restrict their access once they’re gone. Good luck doing that if they have a key. If you’re still using a key for the lock, then you have to change the locks. This can cost you extra money, when all you wanted to do was get rid of a client. Now, with our keyless entry system, all you have to do is press a few buttons. With this, you’re always in control.
“Biometric Access Control” is even more “space age” than the fingerprint lock. These locks identify people by their traits and characteristics. That means that they can measure your DNA, your voice, and so much more. These locks are as specific to a person as possible. Even if you’re at your most hoarse, you aren’t going to lose your voice at home. You won’t forget to bring your DNA with you, as you might with a keycard (or even forget a personal identification number). These locks are as secure as can be.
Really, all of our keyless entry systems can keep your building and anyone (or anything) in it secure. Different clients are going to need different solutions. We take great pride in matching our customers with a lock solution that works for them and their building. Give us a call at (949) 828-3008. We’ll go over all the different ways that our locks can help. Alternately, for more information you could go through our keyless entry system website.
When you run a business, you know what has to be secure: the warehouse has to be secure. The parking area has to be protected. The storefront, the retail area, wherever the inventory is kept – these all have to be secured. That being said, many store owners overlook getting the right kind of security for their Orange County office. That’s one of the most important places to protect, as it can face unique threats that some of those other critical resource areas may not. In this blog, we’ll cover the different kinds of office door lock system advantages that we offer. We’ll also mix in how these locks might be able to fit your exact office.
What constitutes a “small office” has changed. In the recent past, a “small office” might have been five to six people. Now, with so many having a second gig or part time job, a small office can be even smaller than that. However, we’ve often found in our line of work that the smaller the office, the more critical the security. A large company can survive a break in or theft better than one that’s just getting started can. That’s why we offer so many different office lock solutions. We know that not every company has that much to spend on a security package. So, we make sure to have locks that can fit any size budget. If you give us a call, we can sit down with you and find the right kind of locks for your office.
No matter the size of your office, you need to be able to control who can come into it. Moreover, you have to be able to control when they can come into your office, too. That’s what our locks are designed to be able to do. We don’t believe that business owners have to be tethered to keys anymore. Keys are bulky; both physically and in terms of who they let in. Keys aren’t discerning: whoever has a key can get in whenever they want. You can’t program a key to keep someone out when you really want them to stay out. Beyond that, you can’t press a few buttons on a padlock to make sure it keeps out contractors or vendors during a sensitive period (or when you just don’t want them there). Our office lock solutions are designed to provide just that kind of functionality.
Instead of having to worry about giving someone a key to get into your office, with our keyless entry system for business, all you have to do is press a button to let someone in. Set the time they’re allowed to be let in, and a time they aren’t allowed to be let in anymore, press the button and you’re done. Your security is set. This way, you’ll be letting people into your office on your terms. Unsure about who’s coming in and when they’re doing so? With another press of a button, you can generate a full, comprehensive report. It will have all the times when people came and went. This can be invaluable when putting together payroll, timecards, and other time-dependent research about people in your office.
Turnover can be a struggle for offices of all sizes. Employees come and go. You do your best to bring employees in but not everyone is the best fit for every situation. On top of that, many employees are now contractors and temps. They aren’t supposed to be working at your office for long. So, you need office door lock security solutions that are responsive to this. That’s exactly what our keyless locks can be. Now, when someone leaves (whether they do it calmly, in a huff, or worse) you don’t have to worry that they’re going to sneak back in and take something (or do something) they shouldn’t. Instead, you just have to press those buttons again to keep them out. With our solutions, turnover is so much easier for any size business to turn over to the next employee.
Every office faces different challenges. Security is unique to every company. The right keyless lock for one office could be completely wrong for the next. We understand that you got an office to succeed in your business; not to figure out the appropriate kind of lock system for that office. This is where we can help. When you want to improve your security, give us a call at (949) 828-3008. We’ll go over all of our different keyless entry lock solutions with you. Then, we’ll give you the pros and cons of each. From there, we’ll figure out the right solution for your office together. For more info, check out our site, too.
We have a keyless entry system for business, no matter what kind of business you’re in. Our keyless entry systems can be made to fit any kind of business. Instead of key locks, which give you limited options and functionality, our keyless entry systems can be molded to fit a variety of tenants, stores, buildings and more. Instead of having to adapt your policies to a lock with a key, you can mold our keyless entry system to fit your installation. In the below blog, we’ll go over some particular situations where our keyless entry systems can be most beneficial.
You’ll notice that we’ve mentioned an “entry system for business” but didn’t specify the business. There’s a reason for that. Our keyless entry systems can work for so many different kinds of commercial enterprises. We have many different clients in many different industries. From enormous, famous shopping malls with hundreds of stores and even an indoor amusement park to a small business office space that’s just getting started, we provide adaptable security solutions. The truth is that no matter what industry you’re in, goods or services you offer, you have to have adequate security. That’s what our entry systems are built to provide.
Have you ever had a contractor or vendor coming to your property and had to figure out a way to let them in? If you have a lock with a key, this can be an enormous headache. Someone from your business has to be there to let them in. Or, if no one from your business can be there, you have to arrange your schedule just to let someone in. Of course, that cuts into your own time that you could better spend doing literally anything other than opening a door. Beyond this, the solutions get even more disheartening: having a neighbor let them in, telling a contractor or vendor where you keep a secret key, hiring someone for the day to let them in, and worse. We aimed to put a stop to this kind of foolishness.
With a keyless entry system, you can let anyone into your business whenever you want. If you have a keypad, all you have to do is make a code for the contractor or vendor. Then, tell them the code. That’s it. You can go about your day, free of the burden of having to let someone in at a specific time. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the contractor or vendor will have unlimited access to your building. It actually means the opposite: you can control when they’re able to get in. We make it easy to set “day codes.” Those are exactly what they sound like: codes that let a person in for just one day. You can do that as much as you like. Instead of focusing on letting people in, you can put your focus where it belongs: on your business.
In today’s fast paced and modern economy, turnover is rampant. Maybe your Orange County company is growing and adding many different employees. Perhaps you have an enormous business that has so many people coming and going. When you have many different people coming through your establishment, you need security solutions that can meet that need. Part of “meeting that need” is that your security solutions have to be able to stand tall when new employees are let go or move on to pursue other opportunities as well. The last thing any business needs these days is a disgruntled ex-employee to come in when they’re not supposed to and take info or items best left alone. Again, we provide a solution here as well.
Instead of being at the mercy of an angry employee with a key and a grudge, turn to our keyless entry systems. Now, with just the press of a button or two, you can lock someone out for good when it’s their time to leave. No awkward turning a key back in, no having to tell security personnel to be on the lookout for someone who may have a key, and perhaps best of all: no having to change all of the locks because you let an employee go. With our keyless entry locks, owners are always in control.
Keypads are just one of the many different kinds of keyless entry locks that we offer. Fingerprint scans are effective, unique and very secure. Many of our clients are now turning to biometric solutions, which are the next step past fingerprint scans. Now, you can open a door with your voice, DNA, and so many other kinds of attributes no one forgets at home. For more info, head to our site or call us at (949) 828-3008.
It’s important for Action 1st and you that your property is kept secure. By using an access control system to aid in your security, you can make sure that you life and your property is kept private. Many business owners are opting for an access control system because they can overlook the day’s occurrences, and keep track of any activity that is happening during or after hours. It’s often that accidents happen after longer work days, and it's more often people are approached at night when they are alone. But having a system that requires stricter access could completely turn your company around in regards to security.
These systems are designed to replace the traditional lock, providing technology to keep your workplace secure. An access control system can also track who enters your building and when. Additionally, the system can be programmed to track entries and exits throughout the day for your business. Having these trackers can help you, as a business owner, to know who is coming in and out and at what times. Employee accountability can be tricky, and knowing if your employees are actually present in your building can help you run your corporation.
