Business
There are many advantages to installing an access control system for your business. It doesn’t matter if you have a small business, such as a retail store, or small office, or if you have a large business, such as a multi-floor office building, or a large warehouse, or factory, there are many access control solutions available.
Some advantages include;
- The main advantage of access control is exactly what the name implies. You can control who has access to the building, and when they are able to access it.
- You can control who has access to different locations within the building. For instance, if your office is on multiple floors, but only the executives have access to the top floor, you can create separate profiles to restrict access.
- You can monitor attendance by having your employees swipe in and out at the beginning and end of their shifts.
- You can have doors lock/unlock automatically at a predetermined time.
- You can have alarms and alerts if a door is forced open.
Apartments/Residential
Similar to a business, there are also many advantages to installing an access control system in your apartment building, rental property or home.
- The main advantage will always be controlling who has access to the property and when.
- Intercom systems can let your tenants verify the identity of their guests and let them in remotely.
- Set timers so that doors will only unlock during certain times, for example locking down the laundry room after hours.
- Control which floor or area each tenant has access to.
Accessibility Solutions can meet you on site to discuss what you would like to see out of the system and come up with the best solution!
SECURITY CAMERAS
Another great way to keep your property secure is to install security cameras. Security cameras deter theft and create a safer workplace. Surveillance cameras also aid with workflow monitoring. From simple CCTV systems, to more complex IP camera networks, we can help you choose the right product for your property.
Some of the advantages of surveillance cameras;
- The biggest advantage would be that is can deter criminals and other unwanted guests from trying to gain access to your property. While not 100% (nothing is), signs of cameras will make anyone think twice before unauthorized access.
- Some insurance companies offer discounts if you have extra security measures, such as cameras.
- Some cameras will come with a local hard drive that you can keep on site and pull up past footage. With minor upgrades those systems can be monitored and stored remotely.
- Systems are capable of detecting motion and sending alerts if motion is detected. Schedules can even be set, so that if only sends alerts during certain time periods.
- When combined with an access control system or alarm system, can provide even more security and customization.
Whether your property is residential, commercial, or industrial, Accessibility Solutions can meet on site and design the optimal surveillance system.
ACCESSIBILITY
Accessible Washroom Packages
Did you know, under the Ontario Building Code sections 3.8.3.8 to 3.8.3.12, that any barrier-free restroom needs to be equipped with an automatic door operator if the door is equipped with a self-closing device?
Also, the barrier-free restroom needs to be equipped with a door that can be locked from the inside, with a mechanism that is operable using a closed fist.
The restroom requires an emergency call system that consists of audible and visual signal devices on the inside and outside of the washroom that can be activated from inside the washroom.
Accessibility Solutions can provide a range of different products and options to help keep you compliant!
Accessible Entrances
There are 2.6 million people in Ontario with a disability; more than 40% of this population is over the age of 65. As the population ages, this number will grow.
Businesses can attract more customers and employees by removing as many barriers to access as possible, making Ontario open for business and open for jobs for everyone.
Adding an automatic door operator to your business can eliminate the #1 barrier some people face to enter.
If you have a step up into your business, maybe consider installing a ramp, to make it easier for people with mobility issues to enter.
No matter your need, Accessibility Solutions can help design and implement the best solution for your business.
