Access Control systems in Nottingham
Access control is a technique of regulating and restricting who can enter certain premises at certain times in order to minimise risk. This system can be as simple as a keypad lock or a sophisticated electronic network throughout premises with multiple doors and buildings.
We provide and install different assess control solutions to give you control over who has access to certain rooms and buildings.
You can control access to your buildings in 3 ways:
- Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
- Managed Access Control (MAC)
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
We'll quickly secure your access
Main types of access control systems
