Best Access Controls Locksmith Services

A modern locksmith is much more than keys and locks. At ASAP/Total Security, our job is not to simply keep doors closed, but to help you control access. As much as possible, we want to make sure no one enters your home, business, or vehicle without your express permission, whether that permission comes in the form of a key, a code, or some other means of entry granted by you.

Intercom systems allow a direct means of granting access. In much the same way a call screener directs calls, an intercom can allow you to talk to someone before you allow them to enter. Due to the prominence of the internet and phone technology, you don’t even have to be on the facility to talk to someone seeking entry. With the right camera setup, you might even be able to see faces before you make your decision.

An audio intercom system does not include video. They are usually for apartment complexes, office buildings, and other large structures. Many buildings have one on the outside, allowing visitors to talk to specific intercoms on the inside. This is known as an external audio intercom system. Internal systems can allow private communications between people within the building as well, or allow the speaker to broadcast to every other intercom on the system, permitting security to perform their jobs remotely.

Audio/Video (AV) intercoms include the addition of cameras. They work exactly the same as the audio-only version, except for the addition of cameras, which allow you to see the speaker on the other end, adding another level to your security.

Intercom systems need people behind them to work properly. Someone has to be available at all times to remotely unlock the gate or question visitors. This makes them less than optimal in some situations, especially when regarding vehicle security. These situations have a security solution, as well – the key fob.

These are standard in modern cars, generally able to honk the horn, lock and unlock the doors, pop the trunk, and sometimes start the vehicle, all remotely.  Key fobs attached to a security system can do a great deal more.

Though generally attached to keys, a key fob makes keys generally obsolete. Why fumble with keys and manual locks when you can just unlock your car with the press of a button? Certain models of these keys can even be set to unlock the door if you approach within a certain distance, making those times when you have your hands too full for even a button press much easier.

Your key fob can be more than a tool to unlock. ASAP/Total Security can make a key fob into a full keyless entry system. It may not only open your vehicle but start it. Some come completely with screens which can monitor various aspects of your vehicle. There might even be a panic function, which allows you to trigger the horn and lights at the press of a button, which can make a big difference in carjacking or assault situations.
