Pros and Cons of Standalone Access Control System

16/2/2019

7 Comments

 
Businesses are always looking for cost effective ways to secure their offices electronically. In this article, we will be sharing on both the pros and cons of standalone access control system and how it applies to your requirements.
 
Pros of Standalone Reader
 
Savings on Installation Costs
Standalone access controller reader is, as the name implies, a standalone device. This means that all components are within the device at the door and not distributed across the premises. The results in a reduction of costs otherwise associated to cabling, conduit and increased installation or labour costs.  This is ideal for businesses with lower budget allocation for security purposes. These cost savings are usually the number one reason why standalone systems are chosen over fully networked access control systems.
 Application for Smaller Scale Sites 
The use of standalone readers may be a practical solution for offices/sites with just a few doors that require access control, as opposed to larger sites such as a hospital or airport. With a couple of doors secured, you may only have a few users that require access control rights. Updating and programing of these few readers can be relatively easy when someone leaves or joins the organization. When a site has only a few doors requiring access control and there are no plans for further expansion of the access control system anytime soon, businesses can consider using standalone readers for more convenience and with cost saving factors in mind.
 
Cons of Standalone Reader
 
Lack of Monitoring
Standalone readers do not have the feature of data log history on users’ access to the premises. Authorised personnel will also not be able to see if the controlled door has been forced open or if an unauthorized person has gained access. Due to the lack of monitoring and response capabilities, standalone readers are not recommended for high-security applications. (e.g. cash room)
 
Unable to make universal updates
Standalone readers will not be able to control user rights and other information universally across all readers. Should an employee leave the company, be terminated, or simply need their access rights to be updated, manual updates are required for every individual reader. This task can be rather time consuming if you have multiple doors installed at your site. In some cases, employers may see the task too cumbersome and leave former employees’ user rights un-deleted. This poses as a huge security breach and allow potential unauthorized access. 
 
Standalone access reader has its own niche within the security field. This depends on the need of individual businesses.

Most people don't have the idea that there are sites, that you can download HD TV series for free without been charged for it. This is because they don't pay attention to it. However, there are sites that<a href="https://www.techfiver.com/fzmovies/"> you can download any TV series of your choice for free. </a>Since the latest pandemic of not going out and staying indoors. All you have to do is get a good data connection. Well, one of these platforms you can download free TV series from https://www.techfiver.com/fzmovies/

The most important is to let the site viewers know about what they haven't head or know which many people fail to do, when it comes to passing the rightful information and today i have seen someone <a href="https://matchertech.com/toxicwap-music-downloading-site/"><strong>standing up with the rightful information to educate other</strong>.</a> i most say you have done a good job, your article are well written and anyone can easily understand it. Keep on posting because i will definitely come back to take a view But before i leave, i <a href="https://matchertech.com/toxicwap-music-downloading-site/"><strong>will also like to say something about this</strong></a> who knows it may be of help to you. Thanks for this great tip.

My friend wants to make sure that he can manage security for his business properly. It makes sense that using access control systems would be beneficial! I can see how that could help him manage who can be in his business at what time.

It captured me the most when you mentioned that an access control system can let you know if a new person has gained access. My friend wants to limit the number of people that can access his office. I should advise him to have an access control system that can provide his desired feature.

Thank you for mentioning that businesses can take into account adopting standalone readers for more convenience and with cost-saving considerations when a site just has a few doors that need access control and there are no plans for future growth of the access control system any time soon. My mother wants to get standalone readers for the security of her store. I'll advise her to ask an access control specialist to assist her with the installation.
