Advanced Access Control for the Modern Enterprise

From small businesses to large corporations, companies are turning to access control as a first line of defense against rising crime rates in Houston, TX. These systems ensure that only authorized individuals can enter buildings and secure areas. 

Designated areas are based on established permissions, limiting access to specified times, roles, and people. This level of control protects staff, assets, and sensitive information. 

With decades of experience, our experts at ASAP Security Services know the importance of this security measure. We also know that not every access control system offers the same level of protection. To that end, we partner with a rapidly expanding company operating in 85 countries despite only entering this competitive field in 2016. 

Here, we’ll explore why thousands of companies turn to Verkada and its unique features.

Customized Access

With Verkada, administrators can grant and deny access almost instantly with only a few taps on their smartphone. They can also allow entry based on people’s schedules and responsibilities. User credentials are managed in the Command platform, streamlining the process.

The Verkada Pass App lets staff use their smartphones to gain access via Bluetooth capabilities. No more keys or cards that can increase security risks and require on-site administrators. 

Safe & Secure

With cybercriminals looking for any form of access, these control systems need to be updated regularly. Verkada ensures your company has the latest technology and updated security patches, limiting vulnerabilities. 

Real-Time Alerts

Administrators receive an email or SMS alert when someone attempts entry into an unauthorized area. These alerts may also occur if a door is left open or someone attempts a forced entry. 

This quick notification ensures a fast response when minutes can make all the difference. Automated procedures initiate lockdowns in an emergency, or administrators can lock one building or the entire company with one tap. 

Granting Visitor Access

One of the challenges with access control is managing visitors. Verkada makes this easy by enabling temporary access credentials, whether physical keycards or digital. By pre-configuring access for specific groups, such as contractors or clients, you can select the appropriate permission upon check-in, reducing the administrative load. 

Access is granted only to the areas your guests and employees require. Administrators view detailed audit logs, ensuring they know who gained access and at what time to every area daily. For businesses requiring badges, these can be customized and printed on numerous compatible badge printers.

Integrations for a Unified Platform

Verkada access control integrates seamlessly with their video security, which is visible on the same unified platform. This enables your team to view live feeds from the security cameras immediately after receiving notice of attempted access by an unauthorized person. With one tap, you can instantly see the video associated with the access issue. 

Built to Scale

Because Verkada is a cloud-based, software-first security platform, your company doesn’t need complicated database management systems or on-site servers. Since everything is managed in the cloud, this system can scale instantly from one to an unlimited number of doors across multiple locations.

At ASAP Security Services, we remain on the cutting edge of technology to ensure our clients receive the latest in the ever-evolving intelligent security landscape. To learn more about Verkada access control, contact ASAP Security Services today.
