Elevator Security Part I: Access Control
|
Elevators take people to and from every floor in a high-rise building, but how do you control who gets on the elevators? Tracking only visitors is no longer sufficient. Many security directors are electing to monitor elevator access for all building occupants with optical turnstiles, proximity cards, and video surveillance. |
Is your mechanical lock and key system out of control?
CyberLock electronic lock cylinders and programmable keys are the answer. Simply replace the cylinder in each of your mechanical locks with a CyberLock electronic cylinder. No wiring is required to quickly gain full-featured electronic access control. The locks and keys record openings, providing detailed audit reporting. You'll never re-key your facility again. Electronic keys cannot be duplicated and a missing key can quickly be deactivated.

Because new technologies are constantly being brought to market, it's important to have consistent standards to evaluate their safety and effectiveness.
