​Tip #1. Change All Default Passwords to ‘Strong’ Passwords
Change all default passwords for all users on all devices that can be accessed remotely from the Internet. Default usernames and passwords for most devices are very well known by unauthorised users looking to access security systems online and the default usernames and passwords are details that an unauthorised user will try first. Most people are unaware that there are actual large default username and password reference databases online, making the unauthorised user’s job even easier.
 
Make sure you use a powerful password that is difficult to figure out. It is recommended to use a password that is at least 6 characters or longer with a combination of lower-case and upper-case letters, as well as numbers and special characters. Also, make sure you change the password frequently.

Front Door
Surprising to some, research has shown that 34% of burglars tried entering homes using front doors. It is undoubtedly important to place a surveillance camera at the entrance of your front door to secure against and deter burglars. It is recommended to place the camera at a higher position to prevent any mischief or tampering of the camera. Alternatively, you may opt for vandal proof cameras that are not easily damaged.
 
Back Door
While 34% of burglars enter homes using front doors, 23% of burglars use the back door to make a quiet entry into the house. It would be essential to install cameras at the back door and not forgetting, the side doors of your house. Again, the camera should be strategically located and be out of reach of hands. It should also have the required protection around it to prevent damage and breakage. It would also be ideal to have cameras with night vision features.

No Loss of Keys
​

Having an Access Control System eliminates the need for company keys. Besides the risk of loss of keys, in the event that an employee leaves the company and fails to return the company key, you avoid being at the expense of making new keys or even changing the locks to secure against unauthorised access. With an Access Control System, you can simply remove the employee’s access rights from the system.

Be Informed of Who is Entering and Exiting
 
Access Control Systems allow businesses to have full record of movements in and out of the business premise by logging every individual’s entry and exit including the time they arrive and leave. This is especially useful for business environments with high risk of internal theft, e.g. small items like pharmaceutical drugs can be easily stolen from clinics, pharmacies, and laboratories every day. Access Control Systems also provide great ease of access for personnel with entry clearance. They system can utilise various means of identification comprising access cards, PIN numbers, biometric readers such as fingerprint and more.
