An IDS system gives you complete access control 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 12 months of the year, regardless of whether your site consists of one building or many buildings. Not only does a IDS system let you control door, elevator, parking lot, or garage access, but it can be setup to let you monitor building with closed-circuit television systems

IDS has a wide selection of access control hardware and software packages to match your exact needs.  IDS gives you unlimited latitude in how you manage the system regardless of whether there is one building or multiple buildings in your system.

And IDS's experienced technical support staff is a phone call or webpage away to answer any questions or resolve any difficulties.Our systems are 100% reliable and employ proven technologies.

The prime purpose of an access control system is to regulate and monitor access at each door. From 24 hour access, to time-zone limited access, to no access, you set specific conditions that apply for each individual at every door. Allow office employees to enter via the lobby door after 8:00 a.m.; allow factory employees to enter via a side door after 7:00 a.m., and only if a supervisor has arrived. Set the lobby door to automatically unlock from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. allowing visitors unrestricted access to the reception area. In the event that staff is delayed by bad weather or an emergency IDS  "First Person In"  feature keeps doors locked until an authorized individual has arrived to unlock the door.

You assign individuals to door groups based on access needs and security levels. For example, you might assign new employees to a group with access limited to weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., while you assign senior managers to a different group with 24 hour access. You have the flexibility to program all necessary conditions to enforce security. As well, the IDS software records all door activity giving you a complete audit trail, which can be quickly compiled into easy-to-read reports.

With an IDS Access Control System, your staff has the autonomy to move within the necessary areas of the building to perform their jobs, while you retain a secure environment.     

If your organization uses keys to lock doors, IDS can offer you two distinct advantages – better security and potential cost savings.

Keys can’t be regulated and if they are lost or stolen can pose an immense security threat to your organization unless new locks are installed. For large companies, this can be an expensive and time consuming proposition. With an IDS system, each individual is issued a card for accessing doors or elevators.

Each card can be regulated so you control access. And, if a card is lost or stolen, it can be cancelled in seconds rendering it useless. It’s more economical and much quicker to issue one new card than to call in a locksmith to re-install new locks and issue new keys.

In addition to cards, IDS has an assortment of tags and tokens available.
