Modern access control integration allows you to extend security beyond traditional doors to provide granular, floor-level protection. The process involves several key components and considerations:

• Direct System Interfacing: The access control system is integrated directly with the elevator controller. This connection allows the secondary system to send signals that grant or deny floor access based on the user’s specific credentials.
• Credential Verification: When a user presents a valid credential—such as mobile access control credentials, a fob, a card, or even biometric security integration (like facial recognition)—the system only unlocks the specific floors that the individual is authorized to visit.
• Advanced Features: Integration can include visitor management systems that issue temporary access and synchronization with CCTV monitoring for visual verification of every floor access event.
• Implementation Considerations: While this provides enhanced per-floor security and centralized control, it requires high installation expertise. Property managers should prepare for potential elevator downtime during the integration process and verify compatibility if working with older elevator models.

Regent Security provides custom quotes for these integrations based on the elevator make, the number of floors, and the overall complexity of the building’s infrastructure.
