Security Access Control
PAXTON ACCESS CONTROL
Access control offers a secure and convenient way of controlling who has access to your building and when that access is allowed. All businesses have to protect assets and employees whilst allowing people to move freely in the areas that they need.
Installing an access control system means you can do it in the most advanced way, not worrying about keys and locks. Tokens are issued to allow access through the controlled doors and are easily barred from the system if they are lost or stolen. Access control also offers flexible control over users’ access rights. For example, all staff can gain access through the main door of a building, but access to internal areas may be restricted to those who have a specific need to be there. Access may also be restricted by time, only granting access to particular users at certain times of day or night.

Access Control Readers
Access Control Readers allow single identification for each visitor and employee. Here at ASP, we help you choose the most efficient solution for your business.
We offer a wide range of readers:
BARCODE− One of the most popular solutions. The system scans the barcode on ID card or keytag and sends a message to door access control system.
PROXIMITY- Proximity readers work by waving one of the access keys in front of a reader device. This contactless solution grows more popular due to its fast response and simplicity.
BIOMETRIC- The most advanced and secure type of reader. Uses unique human characteristics to grant access: fingerprints, retina scans, facial recognition. No card of fob is used.
LONG RANGE- Designed for car park access. Reader’s range of up to 5 metres allows the token to be read from within a vehicle.
KEYPADS− Basic yet very reliable and robust access control reader, suitable for outdoors and indoors use. Access by keying in PIN, no card used.
For more information, please contact our Head Office.
