Access Control: Where Do I Start?

Are you looking for smart Access Control options but just don’t know where or how to get started? Sometimes getting started seems so overwhelming that you just keep putting it off. Let the experts at Beishir design the system that fits your needs for you. Read the latest blog to learn more about smarter access control and see how we can help keep your people and property protected.


Electronic access control used to be something that you only saw on the outside of a building that was used to keep people out. Now you see it all throughout a building, allowing people to move around seamlessly, and keeping different areas of your building more secure if needed. Innovations along the way, such as WiFi upgrades have made it much easier and more affordable to improve access control to interior doors, making this solution available throughout the building. This makes the facility more secure, while also improving efficiency and productivity, adding value to the business in many ways and allowing the business owner valuable insight into the daily operations.


There are many solutions to fit the needs of your business and we can help customize your access system based on what is most important to you. Let’s talk a little about some of the key components and you can contact one of our design team to go into more detail about any of these solutions if you think they will fit your needs.


Mobile phones have changed the way we live, work and play. From smartphones, tablets, to watches, mobile devices are everywhere in the office environment. They are always on-hand, and they are always on. They serve a variety of purposes, so it just makes sense to use them as an option for your access control. Open doors and gates, log into your network, access electronic locks, or secure documents on a printer, buy a snack in the vending machine, track your time and attendance, the sky is the limit with your mobile device.

We learned a lot in 2020! Businesses suffered immensely having to be closed and learned new ways to keep customers and employees safe so they could reopen. Though we hope that we will never again have to live through a pandemic like what we saw in 2020, we can continue to take the practices of healthy living with us and continue to practice them to keep us safe from future illnesses. What we’ve learned, the hard way since then, is that all illnesses seem to be far worse on business and we need to keep everyone healthy to keep the bottom line healthy. Here are some ways to do that! Enable touchless entry to doors into your facility and throughout it! Germs live on touched surfaces! Reduce person-to-person contact with over the air credentials, minimize personal interaction in busy lobbies with visitor management, provide real-time building occupancy data to help with compliance and social distancing if that is ever necessary. These are all practices that we learned the hard way in a pandemic but can be applied to many other circumstances and, the bottom line, they keep people protected, which is the purpose of the system.


It may seem overwhelming to get started, but once you do, your business will be on the way to amazing things. Choosing access control is like pushing the Easy Button for the future.
