Take control of security with an access control system

Access control systems installed in Leeds by Dalec

Regardless of the size of your business, security should be a top priority. However, many business owners choose to put security on the back burner by failing to take adequate steps to secure their equipment, property and assets. With this in mind, an access control systems offers a cost effective way to take control of security with the minimum of fuss and disruption.

What is an access control system?

Access control systems do exactly as described by controlling who has access to a building or specific areas within a building. Installing an access control system will provide you with the capability to restrict and monitor who has access to your business premises.

Access control is important because it is one of the most effective ways to keep your employees, data and business as secure as possible. Many businesses tackle the issue of security by issuing members of staff with keys, however this can prove to be very expensive and ineffective as when keys are lost or a member of staff moves on, it can often be necessary to change the locks.

What are the benefits of installing an access control system?

Access control systems are available in a wide range of options, with systems suitable for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Here are some of the main benefits of installing an access control system:

  1. Access control systems offer the option to record exactly who enters and leaves your business premises – this can prove to be extremely useful not only in terms of security, but also when it comes to resolving issues such as consistent late arrival.
  2. Access can be restricted for particular members of staff; for example cleaning staff can be granted access at specific times of day, whilst access can be restricted to areas where financial or human resources records are kept.
  3. Using an access control system means that you’ll no longer have to issue staff with keys; if they leave all you’ll need to do is delete their security code or pass from the system.

Protect your home during the long winter nights

Could your home benefit from the protection provided by security lighting?

So the clocks have moved back an hour and the long winter nights will be with us for the next five months or so. With this in mind, now is a great time to review the security of your home and to ensure it is adequately protected during the hours of darkness.

Don’t let thieves hide in the shadows

Studies have shown that sadly thieves make the most of the cover of darkness to break in or check out a property. Security lighting offers an effective way to deter criminals, illuminating the outside areas of your home and making it more secure in the process. The installation of security lighting is relatively cost-effective and when you consider the expense and stress it could save you in the long run, offers a great way to give yourself added peace of mind.

We provide security solutions for homes of all shapes and sizes

Here at Dalec we have many years of experience in the installation of security lighting in properties of all sizes. Whether you live in a second floor flat or a large detached property, we’ll use our expertise to plan and install security lighting, designed to provide effective protection.

A range of security lighting options are available and we’ll talk through your requirements with you before recommending the most suitable type for your property. Dawn until dusk lighting provides continuous protection during the hours of darkness, whilst sensor security lighting is designed to switch on only when movement is detected.

For unbeatable, comprehensive protection, a combined security alarm, lighting and CCTV system is pretty hard to beat. As specialists in all aspects of security protection, we’ll offer advice on the best way to protect your home and whether you already have a security system or are starting from scratch, we’ll provide you with the solutions you need.

Improve the energy efficiency of your home?

Save money by improving the energy efficiency of your home

These days we take electricity for granted and very few of us stop to think about how much electricity we use on a daily basis.  From boiling the kettle to switching on a light or charging a mobile phone; it all adds up and because the price of electricity continues to rise, energy efficiency is something should all take more seriously.

Becoming more energy efficient will not only help you save money by reducing your electricity bills, a reduction in the amount of energy you use also means that fewer fossil fuels are burnt.  Fossil fuels are burnt in order to produce electricity and this in turn increases carbon emissions which have been linked to global warming.

The way in which electricity consumption is measured can be very confusing – working out how much electricity you’ve used by looking at your bill can prove almost impossible!  One of the best ways to keep tabs on how much electricity you use is to invest in an energy monitor.  These small portable gadgets are designed to tell you (almost in real-time) how much energy you are using, either in pounds and pence or in kilowatt hours.

There are many things you can do to reduce the cost of your energy bills.  Energy-efficient household appliances can prove to be very useful but there’s little point in splashing out on brand-new appliances unless it’s time to replace them.  Some energy-efficient appliances can be very expensive to buy so it’s important to take into consideration how much money you’ll save.  Or, if you want to try something radical, you could switch to one of the green electricity suppliers or even think about generating your own electricity.

Contact Dalec for information on electrical installations in Leeds

Small changes though can make a big difference and as we’ve covered in previous posts, remembering to unplug your mobile phone charger once your phone is charged and turning the TV off at the mains at night, can all help. Here at Dalec we offer a range of services, designed to help our customers improve the safety and efficiency of their homes. Whether you’d like advice on installing energy efficient LED lighting or a new appliance, we have the expertise to help. Why not get in touch to arrange a free, no-obligation quote?

Access Control Systems installed by Dalec: don’t leave security to chance

Security is a round-the-clock concern for many businesses but if you’re guilty of taking a ‘hope for the best approach’, now could be the time to protect your staff and premises with an access control system.

Why install an access control system?

The answer to this is exactly as it says on the tin! Designed to control access to specific areas within a building, an access control system will allow to you to restrict or monitor who has access and when.

Controlling access is important as the majority of organisations have data which needs to be protected (financial records, personnel files etc), along with valuable stock or equipment. Many business deal with security by fitting door locks and handing out keys and although this can work fairly well in the short term, new keys are required each time you employee a new member of staff, or someone loses a key. Traditional locks and keys are not a cost effective option and can pose a real risk to the security of your business.

In addition, it’s important to bear in mind that access control systems are an effective way to control or monitor the movements of your staff. If you need a record of when visitors or employees arrive or leave the premises, access control provides an ideal solution.

Access control systems designed to meet your requirements

All businesses have different requirements and here at Dalec we have the expertise to design and install a system to match your needs. Whether you are looking for a way to resolve staffing issues such as persistent late arrival, or would like to improve the security of specific areas, we can help. Access control systems offer a number of benefits and we’ll help you find a solution which helps you protect your business in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
