Security

Why is Access Control Critical?

Master Video · 12/20/2021 ·

Master Video Access Control

Access Control Systems are a critical component of corporate security infrastructures in today’s challenging and ever-changing business environments.

FAQ: Why is Access Control Critical?

Access Control Security has become a primary concern for many businesses about, who comes and goes from facilities, and keeping unwanted visitors from gaining access, keeping personnel and assets safe and secure.

Aging infrastructures and outdated physical security systems are not just costly to maintain, they also weaken facility security.

Lack of modern Access Control capabilities or new door control technology can put you at a clear disadvantage these days.

Master Video Why Access Control

Modern Access Controls allow you to regulate user capabilities to enforce access and policy compliance.

Manage many different endpoints through a centralized system for easy access and control to who, what, and how people are able to gain access to any property, inside or outside.

Protect exterior, as well as interior, and completely control your facility's physical spaces from any unauthorized access with state-of-the-art security systems, with a multitude of card reader technologies, AI credentials, and electric locking hardware.

Any network device that is not compliant with corporate policies is a security risk.

Panic Alarms

Master Video · 02/25/2021 ·

First Panic Alarm 1858

• DYK - The First Panic Alarm was installed February 21, 1858, by Edwin Holmes of Boston, using an electromagnetic telegraph, establishing the first alarm network.

Why Panic Alarms?

Did You Know; The first electromagnetic alarm system in the world was a battery-operated gadget that used electromagnetic vibrations, transmitted to a hammer which then struck a brass bell.

American businessman, Edwin Holmes was the founder of the first company for electrical panic alarm systems in 1858, the “Holmes Electric Protection Company.” With Alexander Graham Bell’s new Telephone technology, Holmes used the New York City telephone network as an alarm control system to create the first version of a central monitoring station. Holmes became the president of the newly established Bell Phone Company in 1878… and the rest is history!

Security alarms have come a very long way since Holmes' early model. Today, the purpose of Panic Alarms is to allow a person under duress to quickly call for help in emergencies.

Panic Alarms Keep Calm and Don't Panic

Panic buttons come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all serve the same purpose; they allow you to summon authorities immediately, either with a siren and warning lights, or silently, for discrete emergency notifications
