According to a research report published by Grand View Research last year, the global security market is expected to reach USD 167.12 billion by 2025. The report goes on to explain that \u201c[increasing] competition in the market, owing to the introduction of advanced technologies, is driving the need for automation in organizations [sic] at various levels. In addition, the growing number of infrastructures across the globe has resulted in the increased demand for safety systems such as access control systems and video surveillance systems for real time monitoring\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For security integrators, this means greater choice and more freedom when it comes to meeting their clients\u2019 access control needs.<\/p>\n<p>It also means doing your homework and educating yourself with regards to the many solutions on offer, as well as getting a thorough understanding of the systems\u2019 capabilities and limitations. This is especially important on <strong>commercial sites<\/strong>, where high traffic volumes and multiple access points demand a truly robust and sophisticated security backbone.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll be taking a closer look at some of the most popular and effective access control solutions currently on the market, as well as listing the benefits of each.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centsys.co.za\/d10-industrial-sliding-gate-motor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><u>Gate motors<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gate motors are an absolute staple of access control and offer a reliable and cost-effective means of preventing unauthorised access and promoting security and convenience. Many modern gate motors come equipped with advanced functionality and various high-security features such as time-barring technology and built-in intruder-detection alarms.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First line of defence against unauthorised access<\/li>\n<li>Generally quick and easy to install<\/li>\n<li>Simplified maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Saves visitors the inconvenience of leaving their vehicle, especially in bad weather<\/li>\n<li>Versatile<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centsys.co.za\/traffic-barriers-accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><u>Traffic barriers<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Traffic barriers remain an immensely popular and effective choice with regards to controlling vehicular access into and out of parking areas, but it\u2019s important to ensure that the barriers are suitable for the particular application and environment. For example, if they are to be used in a commercial or industrial milieu, they need to be capable of coping with high traffic volumes (possibly thousands of operations per day) and should be outfitted with some sort of battery backup facility to ensure continued operation in the event of a power failure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy integration with other access control equipment<\/li>\n<li>High volume capability, especially when equipped with battery backup<\/li>\n<li>Can be fitted with longer boom poles for particularly wide entrances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centsys.co.za\/claws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><u>Tyre killers<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While traffic barriers do make formidable sentries on their own, integrating ancillary devices such as tyre killers and pedestrian barrier fences ensures that vehicular access points are as comprehensive as possible and leave precious little room for trespass.\u00a0 More and more commercial operators are seeing the value of this as a means of combating tailgating and vehicle theft out of parking lots, and adding further security to, for example, tenant parking facilities by integrating proximity access control systems and biometric readers. These technologies not only facilitate access control, but due to their inherently integrative nature and compatibility with software packages and PC administration, they provide administrators with a means of logging transactions, tracking employee movement for time and attendance-based logging, remote site surveillance, etc.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adds high security to traffic barriers<\/li>\n<li>Stops tailgating<\/li>\n<li>Durable and robust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centsys.co.za\/bollards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><u>Bollards<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the term \u201cbollard\u201d has its origins in maritime use, meaning a post or pillar used to moor ships. Therefore, in a sense, its earliest function was to stop or control movement. In the context of access control, bollards perform a variety of functions, including restricting access to high-risk areas such as banks and embassies, traffic calming and demarcating pedestrian areas.<\/p>\n<p>Bollards may be seen as offering the highest level of security and, with their tough construction, they provide a virtually impenetrable barrier against many different types of attack.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exceptional security<\/li>\n<li>Crash-rated bollards are effective in anti-terrorism applications<\/li>\n<li>Pedestrian safety<\/li>\n<li>Traffic calming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centsys.co.za\/access-control\/turnstiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><u>Turnstiles<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over time, turnstiles have proven to be among the most versatile and widely used pedestrian access control systems on the market today.<\/p>\n<p>Their effectiveness and popularity as a crowd-controlling device have led to the implementation of turnstiles in virtually every setting requiring the regulation of pedestrian traffic, including sports stadiums, music venues, university campuses and factories.<\/p>\n<p>From a security standpoint, turnstiles help to prevent unauthorised access and provide a physical barrier that can only be bypassed upon the presentation of valid credentials, usually by means of an integrated access control system such as a biometric scanner or card reader. Since turnstiles allow only one person at a time to pass through, they are highly effective in combating pedestrian \u201ctailgating\u201d or \u201cpiggybacking\u201d, whereby an unauthorised person follows an authorised individual into a secured area.<\/p>\n<p>But turnstiles are also\u00a0 beneficial to operational efficiency. By streamlining entry, these intelligent gates save security staff and receptionists the effort of manually checking credentials, enabling them to focus on their primary duties.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dependable pedestrian access control<\/li>\n<li>Improved security in a wide variety of settings<\/li>\n<li>Streamlines entry and enhances operational efficiency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Come check out our extended commercial range at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centsys.co.za\/securexsa2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Securex South Africa 2019<\/a>, taking place between the 14<sup>th<\/sup> and 16<sup>th<\/sup> of May at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand. #SecurexSA2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising crime rates and an increased global awareness around security have dramatically changed the access control landscape, with innovation and technological leapfrogging driving growth in this arena.
