Sites such as commerce, hospitals, department stores, airports, are sources where access control systems are more common, either using a key, a card or personal identification (biometrics).
When you buy an alarm for your vehicle, what is the reason for having it? not being robbed for sure is the most common response. But if we really think about the reason for having a security system, it is precisely to feel safer, don't you think?
How are security systems justified today? For a simple reason, don't you experience a different feeling than when you didn't have an alarm than you do?
Latent security
I will tell you a real story, where an employee was fired, the reason can be any, the important thing is that this person retaliated against the company where he worked; this is where we wonder how necessary a security system is, since this employee entered such a business because he got a metal key from the front door and unloaded his courage by setting fire to the building.
We may think, "what is lost is material, it can be recovered," but what if this individual, instead of harming the material good, had wanted to retaliate against someone and human misfortunes had occurred? Could they recover?
Consider that when you are working many of these workplaces have safety measures. So, accordingly, you are safe. But have you already thought about your loved ones? Do you have a security system so they can feel safe? or do you live day by day with the feeling of what can happen?
This reason is what invites us to take security measures, that our loved ones have some technology that gives us more security and that this measure allows us to really keep track of who can access our homes, offices or businesses.
You see how easy it is to justify the use of security systems!
If you agree with me that security is something we shouldn't skimp on, here are some of the technologies you can use in your home, in your business, or to suggest to your customers.
There are many access control technologies that today are easier to acquire and of course to use. If you are not quite sure which technology to use, you can start with one of the most used systems in the world (without considering the key), such as electronic keyboards. The keys, nip ́s or passwords are an instrument that today identifies us in this world, to have access to our bank account, email, etc. You will not be able to deny it, we must identify ourselves through this simple element that is the key.
But if you do not want to use keys, since we can forget it and more if it is too long, we have the benefit of cards; in the world of access control, so-called approach (or proximity) cards are used. These have a higher degree of security; In addition, it is very easy to use them, since you do not have to slide or insert into a reader, just present the card in front of the reader. It must be considered additionally that it is very difficult to duplicate this type of card.
Many of the businesses or companies we visit have areas that are very restricted, either because for many owners or companies it is important the type of value they protect such as information, money, assets, people; therefore, they need to have a more accurate identification method and that is why we also hear about biometric readers, where you yourself are the key; here we don't have to remember a key or bring a card with you.
Among the biometric readers the most used in the industry is the fingerprint reader. The use of biometric systems is not only for important characters or eccentric owners but for those who have protection of equipment or securities and invest in this type of technology.
Security is something that can even be felt (as a colleague mentions) and the equipment exists, it is there to be used when these are required. Reason why you should always be aware of new changes, trends and even fashion.
But you may wonder how much is it going to cost me? I can answer this question as follows: how much do you want to invest? That certainly depends on the level of security you want to have, as well as additional system features you or your customer need.
It is not true that we must create the need for our client; This one already exists, we should only focus our efforts on helping our client detect the real need, not the one he thinks he has. That is the real job of us as security advisers.
If you still do not know the different access systems available in the market, this is the time for you to know the applications of this type of control systems, since it is the current key to our daily use services.
I will end by saying these words: Access control systems are not to eliminate the human factor, they are to reduce the need for decision and that it is in the power of fewer people.
