How access control systems offer you advanced security

  • Instant access control

    Access control systems are built to quickly verify and authorise entry to restricted areas. These systems use advanced features like mobile access, RFID cards, and biometric scanning to grant or deny access based on user credentials. This ensures only authorised individuals can enter, minimising the risk of unauthorised access.

  • Real-time monitoring and alerts

    Access control systems deliver real-time data, enabling you to monitor who enters or exits your property. Alerts are sent to your mobile device or admin dashboard, notifying you of attempted breaches or unusual activity. This allows you to take quick action and maintain control over access to your premises.

  • Enhanced security features

    Protect sensitive information with advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and audit trails. These features enhance security by ensuring all access points remain protected and that every movement is logged for accountability, offering a detailed record for compliance and auditing.

  • Customisable settings

    Each business or property has unique access needs, and access control systems allow customisation to meet those requirements. You can set up different access levels, restrict entry to certain areas, and schedule access times, providing a custom solution that maximises security without unnecessary restrictions.

  • Scalability and flexibility

    As your business or property grows, so can your access control system. These systems are designed to scale, allowing you to easily add new doors, readers, or users. This flexibility makes it simple to expand your security measures without the need for extensive infrastructure changes.

  • User-friendly management

    With user-friendly software interfaces and mobile apps, access control systems are easy to manage and monitor. You can easily manage user permissions, generate reports, and receive notifications, ensuring that your security operations are streamlined and efficient.

Upgrading Brisbane Bayside State College Security with Access Control Systems

John Barnes was proud to secure the contract for installing a Salto wireless access control system at Brisbane Bayside State College (BBSC). BBSC faced challenges such as lost keys, unauthorised access, and a lack of key location reporting, and it needed a modern security solution. We addressed these issues by installing a Salto Online system while replacing damaged door hardware.

The project required completion during school holidays, and our team successfully installed wireless gateways, nodes, and Salto XS4 escutcheons ahead of schedule. A key feature of the system was syncing teacher identification cards with the Salto Mifare cards for compatibility with the access control system.

A highlight was the addition of a lockdown feature triggered by a break glass box in the administration block. This feature enabled automatic door locking across the campus during an emergency. This advanced security solution improved BBSC’s safety, offering an advanced system that protected students and staff.
