Card Access Systems and Managed Access Controls

Card Access Systems and Managed Access Controls

As one of the most effective security measures, card access systems not only allow you to prevent unauthorized access from outsiders, but it also allows you to manage access to sensitive areas of your operations. With card access systems every time a person enters that door you will have a record of that occurrence.

Card access systems can do more than simply keep a door locked. Our flexible card access systems allow you to program doors to be open during business hours and automatically lock upon closing. They can be used as a time record to track employee hours or even integrated with elevators to ensure visitors can only reach their assigned floor.

Kantech Access Control and Integrated Systems make all these possibilities a reality. Their uniquely designed hardware and software make it possible to manage even the most complex sites. Fahrenheit 451 is not only qualified to install all Kantech products, but is one of only a handful of certified Global Kantech dealer in Western Canada.

Card access installations are available in two types of set-up, Self-Managed and Managed Access Packages. Self-Managed means that the site must rely on an individual within the organization to continuously add and update cards. Self-Managed users are also responsible for backing up their own data and site information. Managed Access Packages however are assured monthly plans that take the responsibility of programming and backing up the site out of your organizations hands. Fahrenheit 451 handles all the complexities of programming and securely backs up your data off-site. More information on our Managed Access Packages below.
