Using Access Control Solutions for Covid Security

Even as Covid restrictions ease, businesses are still being encouraged to take the virus seriously and do their bit to prevent transmission. Covid is unlikely to disappear any time soon, and even if it did, lessons learnt from the pandemic will likely change how businesses operate for decades to come. With that in mind, access control solutions remain a popular way to keep employees safe - and future-proof your business should Covid restrictions be reintroduced. These systems, comprising card and fob-based units, PIN entry devices and biometric scanners, allow you to monitor occupancy in each room and keep track of where your employees are in real-time.

A straightforward, easy to use and popular access control option, card and fob-based systems can be re-programmed easily. Cards and fobs can be activated and deactivated with minimal effort, making this a great option.

PIN code-based entry systems are commonplace in offices, and for good reason: they’re simple to use and can be very secure if you update the code regularly. Biometric access control systems take security to a different level, however; if your fingerprint or retina isn’t recognised by the system, you won’t be allowed in.

Our contactless temperature cameras can also be used for Covid security. These advanced scanners detect a person’s body temperature and only grant access to the building if it’s within a healthy range, preventing those with a high temperature from entering the premises and spreading potential illnesses. Our system can detect and monitor mask-wearing, too, should this become compulsory onsite.

Our access control solutions can be scaled up or down as required and tailored to the needs of your business. Contact us today to find out more.
