Smart, scalable access control
Leaving entry points unmonitored at your business premises puts your people, property and assets at risk. Without a comprehensive system in place, how can you monitor who’s on site to identify unauthorised personnel?
Reliable access control security systems give you complete oversight and control of who comes in and out of your premises, enhancing safety while ensuring seamless access for authorised staff and visitors.
What is an access control system?
Access control systems are electronic security systems that integrate with entry points like car park barriers or doors. They help businesses monitor movement throughout the site and enable control of who enters an area and when through identifiers like key cards and biometrics.
Many businesses can benefit from access control, whether you’re monitoring access to entire sites or specific buildings or rooms.
How do security access controls work?
They typically use an identifier to allow only authorised staff or visitors to enter a space. Identification methods we can install with our access control include:
- Key cards
- PINs and passwords
- Biometric identifiers such as fingerprint or optical scanners
- Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras that operate alongside our automated gates and barriers
Our systems generate visitor logs that allow you to track how your staff use your building, giving you valuable business insight.
What are the benefits of using an access control system?
Security access controls elevate the safety and security of your business premises, among other benefits:
Enhanced productivity
Access control systems streamline entry and visitor registration, meaning your employees can spend less time entering the building and more time on tasks that contribute to business growth.
Integration with existing systems
Our access control systems integrate with other security services to create a comprehensive security solution. Like our on-site CCTV systems, integrated with access control means intruders can be identified quickly and safely.

Access control systems – FAQs
They can be installed at any entry point on your business property.
Often, customers opt for installation at sensitive locations on the premises, such as rooms used to store valuable assets or information.
Traditional key locking systems can be limiting. If a key is lost, new ones need to be made and distributed, and when staff have many keys for multiple areas, this becomes painful to manage.
Whereas using access control systems, staff will only need a single card or login, which can be easily replaced when lost.
Additionally, manual locking systems provide no audit trail, preventing you from keeping track of who has entered your building and at what time.
This entirely depends on the specific requirements of your premises and staff. We offer card-based, biometric or keypad access to suit your needs.
Before installation, we recommend that you evaluate each system to assess ease of use for staff and choose based on your requirements. Our team at Smartwatch Solutions can provide you with a consultation during this process.
