The Door Access Report

As your company grows, keeping track of who has access to what areas of your business can become challenging. Who, exactly, needs access to the office, storage facilities, and places where secure documents and data are filed? Are there specific times that different team members need access to the building and secure areas? 

In addition to protecting staff and visitors, an access control system plays a significant part in safeguarding assets and minimizing internal theft and unauthorized activities. This level of protection can require constant updates, dependent on changing roles, employees, and processes. 

Verkada’s Door Access Report keeps auditable records on who has access to specific areas. Administrators can easily find users who have access to each door by viewing individual user-permission reports and group access levels. As a cloud-based system, they can perform this action anywhere and make quick changes no matter where they are.

For instance, if they are at a conference and a change in staff has resulted in the need to grant access to someone else in a secure area, they can immediately take care of the request. 

A Person of Interest

Verkada’s smart video security systems integrate with your access control, enabling immediate changes depending on who is seen on the security camera. A person of interest may be an important client, one that you want to give immediate access to and receive a notification whenever they arrive. 

Conversely, your organization can also receive an alert when a potential bad actor, such as a former disgruntled employee, is spotted. These person-of-interest alerts occur across buildings and locations, ensuring increased security throughout the company via access control. 

Additional Features

Additional features that companies find helpful include the ability to program an event to occur based on an action. For instance, an alarm buzzes if a door is held open for a certain amount of time. Another example is when someone opens an emergency exit door; it can prompt all the lights at every door to turn on. 

Access control systems from Verkada do much more than enhance the efficiency and security of your business. They provide real-time tracking, minimizing the risk of internal theft while protecting staff and assets. To learn more about the latest in access control, contact ASAP Security Services today.
