San Francisco Commercial Access Control Systems & Installation Services

Running a business in a bustling city like San Francisco, Oakland, or San Jose requires heightened attention to creating a secure business environment. Bay Area organizations, including schools, businesses, and healthcare facilities, all require a high level of security to regulate who is allowed to enter the building, and when they can do so. Without these measures, Bay Area businesses are vulnerable to intruders disrupting workflow, stealing valuables, and in the worst scenarios, committing violence. Fortunately, Security 101 can design, install, and maintain a comprehensive commercial access control system to ensure Bay Area enterprises remain safe at all times.

Gone are the days of simple lock and key access control systems. Organizations require advanced access control to ensure only authorized personnel are permitted inside a facility. Our cutting-edge technology is customizable to meet the ever-changing, complex needs of organizations.

Deter intruders, gain peace of mind, and simplify the access control process with our state-of-the-art technology, including smart card systems, license plate recognition, biometric authentication, and mobile-based access.

With a smart card, reprogramming the system is simple: In a conventional lock system, if one set of keys becomes lost, it can require an entire systemic overhaul. Compared to changing all locks and keys, reprogramming a smart card system is much faster and more cost-effective.
Technological advances ensure smart cards are more secure: Older proximity cards that used low frequency 125 KHz RFID transmitters can have their serial numbers cloned by unauthorized individuals. Today’s smart cards use 13.56 MHz chips that are more secure, thanks to data encryption.
Clearance can be customized with encoded smart cards: For medium-to-large organizations with multiple users and various access points, creating a unilateral security system used to be a significant undertaking. Now, access control software empowers system administrators to encode personalized cards that correspond to each individual’s required clearance in an efficient manner.

License plate recognition (LPR): Utilizing fixed cameras to analyze license plate information in real-time, LPR systems grant parking lot/garage entry to all authorized employees. LPR eliminates the need for decals, access cards, and PIN memorizations, making entry extremely convenient. In the event where an individual loses security clearance, their license number is simply eliminated from the database.
Biometric authentication: Although biometric systems were once only accessible to major organizations due to their high cost, they have become increasingly affordable in recent years. Now, smartphones commonly use facial-recognition and fingerprint scanners for security measures. For companies that require an extra level of protection, biometrics offer a sophisticated option worth considering.
Mobile-based access: With the ever-increasing popularity of smartphones, many organizations are implementing their use into access control systems. Using technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), and near-field communication (NFC), mobile-based locks are not only convenient to the user, but they remove the possibility of having to spend money on replacement access cards or keys.

Security 101 recognizes that no two organizations are exactly alike, and security requirements will vary greatly across industries. Fortunately, the team at Security 101 is up to the challenge.

We partner with each San Francisco client to analyze any existing systems and discuss what unique needs must be addressed. From there, we work together to design a personalized access control system. Our custom-made solutions can incorporate cutting-edge smart card technology, touch-free methods to minimize germ spread, or frictionless methods for high convenience.
