Access Control That Works for Every Type of Commercial Property

An office building in downtown San Antonio has different security requirements than a medical clinic on the north side or a warehouse near the port. Office managers need to control when employees can enter. Retail stores need separate permissions for sales floors versus stockrooms. Healthcare facilities deal with HIPAA compliance and restricted medication storage. Traditional lock-and-key systems can't handle this complexity, and basic card readers barely improve the situation. Access control systems solve these problems by letting you set different rules for different spaces, users, and schedules—all from one platform that adapts to whatever type of property you're managing.

Keys and Cards Don't Scale with Your Business

Lock-and-key systems mean rekeying doors every time an employee leaves—expensive and time-consuming. Lost keys create security gaps you can't close until the locksmith shows up. Basic card readers improve things slightly, but they don't let you restrict access by time or location. An employee with a card can use it at 2 AM on a Saturday, even if they only work weekdays. You have no record of who entered which door and when. Managing multiple San Antonio locations means dealing with separate systems at each property. Nothing connects, nothing talks to each other, and you're handling security incidents with incomplete information because your doors don't integrate with your cameras or alarms.

Cloud-Based Access Control Adapts to Different Properties

Verkada Command manages every door across all your properties from one dashboard. The system adjusts to whatever type of facility you're securing. Office buildings get schedule-based permissions—employees access during business hours, cleaning crews come through after closing, and IT staff can work around the clock. Retail locations lock down stockrooms and back offices while keeping the sales floor accessible, and you can track employee movements during cash handling or inventory counts. Healthcare facilities maintain HIPAA compliance with detailed audit trails that show exactly who accessed pharmacy storage or medical records rooms. Warehouses and manufacturing plants control loading dock access separately from production floors, and you can create contractor zones that keep outside workers away from sensitive operations. One platform handles everything with permissions you customize for each location.

Mobile Credentials Eliminate Card Management

The Verkada Pass app turns employee smartphones into access credentials. No more printing cards or ordering replacements for lost badges. Issue temporary mobile access to contractors, then revoke it when they finish. Employees carry their phones everywhere—they're not forgetting them like they forget badges. Bluetooth Intent Unlock requires a deliberate action at the reader instead of automatically opening doors when you walk past. Revoke someone's access instantly when they leave. The credential disappears before they reach the parking lot.

Video Integration Shows What's Happening at Every Door

Every access event can automatically link to Verkada security cameras. See who followed authorized employees through doors with tailgating alerts. Investigate forced entries or propped doors with visual evidence tied directly to the access log. Emergency lockdowns can be activated from anywhere via the mobile app. Grant first responders immediate access during emergencies without being on-site. The Verkada Command platform controls both cameras and doors from one interface instead of juggling separate systems.
