Access Control Systems

Access Control Systems That Add Value, Efficiency & Control
Access control systems involve issuing a digital credential (commonly referred to as a card or FOB) to approved building occupants. When the approved users swipe their credential, they are then allowed access into the building. Those who do not carry one are unable to enter, because the door stays locked. Additionally, administrators can approve and delete users as necessary when hiring or firing takes place.

Eliminate Re-Key Costs

An access control system relieves you of the need to change locks and keys when terminations occur and restricts access to sensitive areas.

Control At Your Fingertips

No matter which areas of your building require access control, Stark Security can design a system that meets your specific requirements to increase the security climate of the property.

Global Analytics

Since every card leaves an audit trail, you can see where each employee has gone within your facility — or tried to go — and when with searchable reports.

FAQ's

What is the need for CCTV?

CCTV is needed for various reasons, the most important of which are crime prevention and public safety. A well-placed and well-functioning CCTV system can help to deter crime and criminal activity by providing a visible deterrent to potential criminals. In addition, CCTV footage can provide police with valuable evidence to help identify and prosecute the offender if a crime occurs. CCTV systems can also help keep the public safe by monitoring public areas for suspicious activity or crimes in progress. This allows authorities to respond quickly and effectively to any possible incidents.

Does a CCTV camera record all the time?

Most CCTV cameras are designed to record continuously, although some are set to only record when they detect motion. However, it is essential to note that the recording quality may vary depending on the specific camera and recording system. Ultimately, whether or not a CCTV camera records all the time comes down to its particular design and purpose.

How much do CCTV cameras cost?

The cost of CCTV cameras can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the quality of the camera, the features it offers, and the amount of coverage you need. A primary CCTV camera may cost as little as $50, while a more advanced model with robust features and an extensive range might cost several thousand dollars. Assessing your needs and budget is essential before purchasing CCTV cameras.

Why are CCTV surveillance systems required for businesses?

CCTV surveillance systems are required for businesses that can act as a deterrent against crime. Burglars or vandals often think twice about committing a crime if they know cameras are monitoring them. CCTV footage can be used as evidence if an incident does occur. Footage from security cameras can help police identify perpetrators and get justice for businesses that have been victims of crime. CCTV surveillance systems can help business owners track what is happening in their establishment even when they’re not there. This can help monitor employee activity or detect any potential security breaches.

How do CCTV cameras work?

A CCTV camera is used for surveillance purposes. They are often installed in public places like stores, banks, and office buildings. CCTV cameras capture images or video footage of an area and then transmit this data to a security control room. The operators can monitor the footage and look for any suspicious activity. In some cases, CCTV cameras can also be integrated with security systems like alarms and door locks to trigger them if something fishy is detected automatically.

How can I pause a CCTV camera?

You can pause a CCTV camera in a few different ways. One way is to disconnect the power source from the camera. This will stop the camera from recording and transmitting any footage. Another way to pause a CCTV camera is to cover the camera’s lens with something opaque, like a cloth or piece of tape. This will block the camera’s view and prevent it from recording anything.

You can also use a software method to pause the CCTV camera. Many cameras come with software that can be used to control the camera’s settings. Frequently, you can use this software to put the camera into sleep mode or turn off specific features like motion detection or video recording.
