Our Physical Security Installation Services

An unfortunate reality of the world in which we live in today is that public places are becoming increasingly, and senselessly more dangerous. For the safety of you and everybody that enters your business or educational institution you need to monitor and control who has access to what parts of your building. Thanks to modern day technology Apex Premier Solutions is the leading security company near me. Access control is an all encompassing term that refers to an institution's ability to restrict and grant access of outsiders to the building.

Access control solutions are truly agile, which means they can easily take you far past traditional door scenarios. You can achieve flexible, cost-effective and innovative security – including out-of-the-box integration with your existing security systems. Whether your installation is small or large, you have many possibilities for going beyond the door, such as cabinet locks, wireless locks to secure drawers and lockers, or I/O modules for integrating unique options. Whatever your security needs may be, we can help you secure the funding necessary to make it happen - for more information on federal grants and how they can help you better your security system check out this blog post.

Advanced Lockdown Automation

Implementing an access control schedule can prove difficult especially if you are relying on a single person to monitor and ensure certain entries are closed at certain times throughout the day. Even the best security guards mess up from time to time so to solely rely on them for your access control schedule is not the best idea when it comes to the safety and security of your employees or students. When there is a threat to the people inside your building you do not want to have your staff running around trying to lock out whatever that threat may be. At Apex Premier Solutions we offer an advanced lockdown automation service which allows you to set an access control schedule and to remotely lockdown your building in the event of an emergency.

Secure Building Entry

By requiring your students and employees to possess some kind of key upon entering your institution you prevent any unwanted guests and potential threats from gaining access to your building. This is why securing the entrances to your building is one of the best steps you can take in ensuring the safety of those inside. Contact Apex Premier Solutions for all of your building security needs.

Electronic Keypad Entry

Keypad entry does increase the security of your building by quite a bit yet it remains far from the safest method of access control. Keypad entry requires anybody trying to gain access to your building to possess a valid code that when entered correctly will unlock the door. The obvious downfall to a keypad entry like this is the ease in which people can share their entry codes. One way to lessen the threat of shared codes is to assign every individual their own code, allowing you to narrow down the potential suspect should anything go wrong.

Mobile App Keyless Entry

Mobile app entry is a newer method of access control which is a direct result of key card entry. Almost everybody has a smartphone nowadays so this method offers everybody who enters your building an easy and convenient way to gain access without the setback of forgotten key cards. This also frees up your administration from having to take time out of their day in order to administer new key cards.

Key Card Entry

Keycard entry is a great way to increase the overall security of your campus or business. Each individual student or employee is given a card that is specific to them. They are then required to scan the card in order to gain access to certain rooms and buildings. Keycard entries monitor who goes in what door and is a great way to hold people accountable should anybody gain access using somebody else's key. The downfall to this method is the potential for lost keys. Students have busy lives and it is not uncommon for them to forget things such as a keycard. This potential for forgetfulness can lead to more time spent unlocking doors and making and assigning new access key cards.

Key Fob Entry

Key fob entry is much like key card entry because each individual is assigned their own keychain FOB which they are to use by waving or placing it in front of the reader by any given door. Their FOB will then transmit a unique signal that only that FOB has in order to signal the reader to grant access. This method also records the unique id number of the FOB so you can always tell whose FOB opened what.

Biometric Entry

Biometric entry is one of the most advanced methods of access control available today. Unlike those listed above, biometric entry prevents the exchange of access keys ensuring that a single person is the only one who can gain access with their credentials. Biometric entry records a number of facial profiles and fingerprints of an individual so they can access a building with their 100% unique biology. This is arguably the most secure and efficient method of access control and it gets rid of the need to produce additional keys and fobs should somebody lose theirs.
