Pedestrian Access Control – Improving Mobility and Security

Pedestrian entrance or access control systems are programmed and created to detect, distinguish, and grant quick access to users who have essential accredited permissions. This type of system monitors and regulates the physical access of individuals and helps organisations to manage & optimise the flow of pedestrians. Investing in pedestrian access control is crucial to ensure safety and security.

Who Should Use?

Both commercial and residential property owners can consider investing in pedestrian access control to reduce potential burglaries and thefts. We have seen a huge demand for pedestrian entrance control systems in the hospitality and education sector. Authorities from these sectors use electronic access control systems that grant entry and manage attendance of students & professionals as well. In the healthcare sector, pedestrian access control systems also play a crucial role in limiting the entry of individuals in restricted areas.

Corporate offices, IT firms, and various other organisations from different industries also install pedestrian entrance control systems to ensure better security. They mainly install pedestrian access control systems in entrance gates, optical turnstiles, speed gates, tripod turnstiles, and full-height turnstiles. Homeowners can also leverage the power of pedestrian access control to enhance the safety measures of their property and family. 

Benefits

The primary purpose of pedestrian access control systems is to optimise and control the access of individuals at entrances and exits. In addition to that, the system also fulfils several other purposes that are beneficial to organisations of all types. The major benefits of using a pedestrian access control system are as follows:

• The most obvious benefit of using pedestrian entrance control systems is security. This type of access control system can secure a building in different ways. For example, it slows down the stream of people entering and exiting a building. It allows security guards or cameras to monitor each person who enters and exits. Anyone who wants to access the control system must have a code or access card. Without it, no one can enter the building.
• Pedestrian access control systems help security stay alert and aware of each person who passes through the doors. Increased awareness is also good for building security. It will help you or the police to identify the culprit if something happens inside the building.
• Pedestrian access control systems play a crucial role in improving mobility in large corporations where many people enter and exit the office at the same time. Though pedestrian entrance control systems slightly slow things down, they also help people gain access to the office in an organised way.
