[P316]Physical Access Control Security

by Cameron Daniel, Cam

You are protected from unwanted intruders with a number of highly sophisticated devices; A range of new intelligent PIRs detect not just movement but will can also tell the difference between an intruder and the family pet. If doors or windows have been opened, magnetic contacts can trigger alarms. ‘Presence simulation' can be used to dissuade intruders from entering in the first place – by drawing the curtains, adjusting the blinds, and switching the lights on and off to make it look as though someone is at home.

Security benefits of Intelligent Home Control

* Detection of possible intrusion

As already mentioned, your IHC system will detect any unwanted intruders and then notify the relevant person/people/authorities. This is discussed later in the article.

* Simulation of presence

Again, as has been mentioned, your IHC system can make it look as if someone is at home, even when you are away for weeks. Lights periodically switched on and off and curtains being opened and closed at preset times are all ways in which this is done.

* Detection of fire, gas leaks, water leaks

State of the art sensors will notify you of a possible fire and/or gas and water leak as soon as the system detects it. If you are at home, you needn't worry about not hearing the alarm as in addition to this, lights can be set to flicker and all audio can be immediately turned off.

* Medical alert

Some IHC systems allow the wearer to contact emergency services at the touch of a button from anywhere in his or her home — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

* Precise and safe closing of blinds

You can set how you want your blids to close & at what time.

Some other practical implementations of Intelligent Home Control are when a fire is detected, all lights in the house will blink to alert occupants. If the house is equipped with a home theatre, Intelligent Home Control can turn off all audio and video to alert the occupant of a possible fire or burglar.

You are in complete control. You can personalise your IHC to your own lifestyle, accommodate pets and visiting guests or a cleaner.

You can choose to be alerted via text message, email or phone which means you are no longer at the mercy of alarm call centres & you needn't worry that your neighbours will just ignore the noisy alarm.

Friends, neighbours and family can also be alerted about incidents such as break-ins or fires and can take immediate action, which means people can avoid false alarms, as well as the resulting penalties and blacklisting by the police.

The list goes on. Next week, we will consider the Safety benefits of Intelligent Home Control, so keep an eye out for that article.

If you have a business in the San Jose area, look for a good Sunnyvale locksmith that will be able to provide you with security solutions for your business and give you a free estimate. One of the most reasonable security options is San Jose access control. San Jose access control determines who will come in and out of your business. It can also tell you when employees come in and out of the building based on codes on their swipe cards.

It is more important today more than ever to make sure that your workplace is secure. It is your responsibility to make sure your employees are safe and that you keep them safe from harm in the office as well as the parking lot. If crime occurs in the workplace, you may be liable for a lawsuit for not protecting your employees. And with workplace crimes on the rise, it makes sense to seek out San Jose access control.

San Jose access control can give you options that will not only protect your employees, but also your business. You can use access control for the entry doors, depending on what type of business you have, as well as on interior doors. It is always a good idea to have some type of San Jose access control on rooms where there is cash kept, valuable merchandise kept or on the back door of a retail business. You will also want to prevent employees from entering the office after hours. Your Sunnyvale locksmith will be able to help you decide which options are right for you.

Many office buildings are looking towards keyless entry that can be coded for employees. Because of the rise of violence by disgruntled, ex-employees, a business owner should look towards ways to stop this from happening. A keyless coded lock can be changed so that ex employees cannot enter the premises without permission. This type of San Jose access control can be provided by your Sunnyvale locksmith.

Another type of access control involves the back door of your premises. Employees often leave by the back door and all buildings should have two entrances for fire safety. The back door of your premises should be locked at all times, even if you have an office. This prevents people coming in who do not belong in the building. In the case of a retail establishment that handles cash, this is imperative. But employees do not always remember to lock the back door. They might keep it open to go outside for a cigarette now and then. Having San Jose access control such as keyless lock will stop the business from being open to robbers who might seek access through the back door of the business.

Talk to a qualified Sunnyvale locksmith that can help with commercial safety solutions for your business about getting San Jose access control in your business. A good Sunnyvale locksmith will give you options not only about access control, but other business safety solutions such as using video surveillance cameras in certain areas of your business.
