Tracking and monitoring enables sites to keep an eye on the movement of people and vehicles. Visitor management systems can handle access control, including automated receptions, as well as monitor employee and visitor movements within the covered area. The insights collected let you know what your visitor volumes are, and whether your current security or access control is sufficient.

The types of access control vary enormously between sites and need to cater to variables such as individual clearance levels and times of day. Mobile phone access, facial recognition, biometrics and sound detectors are just a sample of the kind of functionalities that can work together to ensure the right people have access to the right places at the right time.

In sites where doors and gates alone can’t control access, you can turn to intrusion monitoring and alarm systems to ensure you are immediately aware of any unauthorized visitor. The options here include intrusion panels, tracking, sound detection and thermal and microwave sensors.

Vehicles can be monitored just like people and granted or denied access the same way. License plate recognition (LPR) and documentation software lend themselves to a variety of use cases such as basic carpark entry, road tolls and law enforcement. Camera analytics will also detect the presence of vehicles that show up to sites at suspicious times of day.
