Seamlessly Integrated Access Control Solutions
When it comes to safeguarding your facility and its occupants, one of the best ways to achieve peace of mind is facility access control systems. Homeland Safety Systems offers an advanced line of access control systems, from traditional computer based systems to the latest IP based technology. Our team of security experts can install anything from a one door stand-alone keypad all the way up to an entire campus or industrial building.
A quality access control system should provide quick, convenient access to an authorized person, and at the same time, restrict access by unauthorized intruders. With our professionally designed access control systems, you can track, record, and restrict outside entry as well as access to certain buildings, areas, and rooms. These systems can be more useful when integrated with other physical security systems such as video surveillance cameras and intrusion detection alarms. In addition to physical access control, we can also integrate information technology (IT) infiltration access of confidential, proprietary information access.
Our knowledge and dedication to the design, installation, service, and maintenance of our access control solutions have consistently proven itself over the last 20 years. At no cost to the prospective customer, we provide a thorough onsite free assessment, evaluation and no pressure analysis of your facility. Since these systems can be complex and challenging to manage, Homeland Safety Systems will evaluate your access risk points and customize a quality, facility-specific access control system that secures all entry points and complements your existing infrastructure.

TYPES OF ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
Access control systems are very complex and require multiple technologies and hardware to work hand-in-hand as one single system. With your free consultation, Homeland Safety Systems will select the access control device that best fits your facility.
KEYPADS AND PROXIMITY CARD READERS
Keypad access control is a numeric coded keypad that requires a user to enter a unique, assigned PIN number which allows entry through an exterior door or authorized interior rooms. These access control applications are used for access control with low security and limited users with authorized access.
An access card is a uniquely encoded electronic key used by authorized persons to enter buildings or specific rooms within. The proximity card reader device electronically reads an access card when inserted into or waved at an exterior side of the door it controls. There is no direct contact needed between the access card and the proximity reader for the system to operate.
MAGNETIC LOCKS
A magnetic locking system is designed to send constant power to the lock. When a valid card is scanned at the door, the access control panel sends signal to a relay at the door. This signal will cut power to the lock and allow the person to open the door & gain entrance into the building.
Doors that have magnetic locks are installed with a motion sensor on the inside of the door which will unlock the door when someone walks up to provide egress. In addition to the motion sensor, a push to exit button is installed within 5 feet of the door which acts as a secondary egress device if the motion sensor does not unlock the door.
ELECTRIC STRIKES
We typically uses two types of electric strike locking devices; recessed mounted and surface mounted.
The recessed mounted electric strike is inset into the door frame and replaces the fixed strike faceplate on the door. When a valid card is scanned, power is supplied to the strike which releases the latch bar and allows the person to pull the door open without turning the knob.
The surface mounted electric strike operates almost exactly like the recessed electric strike, except it is installed on top of the frame rather than recessed into the frame. This type of lock is designed for doors that use rim-type surface mounted panic bars. This type of locking device will always ensure free egress so there is no hinderance to evacuate during an emergency.
ELECTRONIC LATCH RETRACTION
Electronic latch retraction (ELR) devices are primarily used on perimeter doors of a building that utilizes panic hardware in order to exit the building. The ELR is a solenoid or motor within the panic hardware which retracts the latch upon the output from the access control panel that a valid card was scanned. ELR’s are used on various types of latching devices such as rim devices, surface mount vertical rod devices, and concealed vertical rod style doors.
BIOMETRIC READERS
Biometric readers are electronic access control devices that determine someone's identity by detecting and matching physical characteristics such as hand features, eye scans, and facial recognition. This technology eliminates lost or stolen access cards and offer very high security, but are typically the most expensive.
NDAA COMPLIANT
Our system components are in conformance and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). We also hold state and local qualifications for Security, Fire, Burglar and Low Voltage.
TRADEMARK LEVEL SERVICE
With regard to data security and privacy protection, we install our systems on an isolated network to maintain its integrity as well as the customer’s network. This also eliminates the possibility of either system becoming breached in the event of a cyberattack.
SUPERIOR DESIGN & INSTALLATION
We use the latest technologies and advanced placement techniques to allow our access control systems to deliver the best results. Our ability to choose the best system to fit your needs and the right locations for each installation ensures the facilities we work with are safe and secure.

BENEFITS OF ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
Access control systems provide an extra layer of security by only allowing entry to those who have been authorized, keeping your employees safe and secure at all times. Visitor activity can easily be monitored from one remote location, with the ability to lock all doors in the push of a button given an emergency occurs or an unauthorized person is on the premises.
By controlling who has access to your facility, these systems can also limit the opportunity for theft and crime.
SET SPECIFIC ACCESS PARAMETERS
With powerful scheduling features, access control systems can allow you to grant access to certain people on specific days and at particular times, as well as specific locations and rooms within your facility. Should access need to be granted for a limited time, you can easily adjust your system to accomodate new visitors without affecting the overall security of your organization.
EASILY TRACK AND RECORD ALL ACTIVITY
An access control system is essential when keeping track of those entering and exiting your facility. If an incident occurs, you will have the ability to see exactly who accessed a specific area during that time. These systems will can collect data on when as well as how often someone enters and exits specific buildings or rooms.
ELIMINATE THE HASSLE OF TRADITIONAL KEYS
Not only can access control systems save time for those accessing restricted areas, it can also eliminate the cost and hassle of having to change locks as well as replace lost, stolen, or duplicated keys.
COMPREHENSIVE RISK ASSESSMENTS
We know that finding the right security company is not a decision to be taken lightly. Every building, campus, and facility is unique and has its own set of challenges when it comes to safety. Scheduling a security assessment and taking proactive measures to mitigate risk can provide a number of benefits for your facility and identify the smallest hazards you may never consider.
Homeland Safety Systems offers free on-site security risk assessments to identify your needs, the scope of your goals, and your budget. This security evaluation will include a detailed walk-through of your facility, both indoor and outdoor, assessing everything from signage, lighting, parking lots, perimeters, fencing, facility location, surrounding businesses, crime rate within the area, distance to emergency services, and more. We will identify threats, establish the levels of risk, and issue a detailed map of your facility with our recommended security measures.
