Control Who Enters Your Business, Facility

access-control
Do you always know who has unrestricted access to your building?

Does everyone in your office use the same pin code or do they even bother setting the alarm?

Easily take control of who visits your facility with Sonitrol’s Managed Access solutions. Whether they are your regular employees, temporary staff, or contractors and vendors, you can know exactly who accessed your building, when they arrived, and where they went.
  • Always check the ID of any visitor to your building. If they are not directly employed by your company, ask for their credentials. You never know who might be posing as a cleaning or construction crew, like this recent trio of burglars in California.
  • Consider adding or upgrading your current cards to photo ID badges. Your staff will be properly identified and will have the same access levels as your current cards or fobs.
  • Assign access cards to everyone in your building – including temporary staff and visitors. With Sonitrol’s Managed Access, assigning and deactivating badges are simple with MySonitrol. Save money by not having to change the locks every time someone loses their keys!
  • Don’t want your overnight cleaning crew to have access to secure areas? Control where cardholders can go with your custom access levels. Protect sensitive and secure high-value areas with additional card readers that work seamlessly with your system.

Considering a Change to Your Phone System or Provider?

If your office or company is planning on making a change to a new phone system or a new service provider, give us a call first!

Reaching out to your local Sonitrol office before making changes can avoid (costly) disruptions in communication with your security system panel. The type of phone communication, different service providers, and changes to how your phone connects to an outside line (dial ‘9’ or ‘8’ first), all can impact how your Sonitrol system communicates with our local Central Station monitoring center.

Looking to ditch your phone lines all together? Contact our team about integrated IP intrusion and video security solutions for your building security. 
 
Protecting you is our top priority!
