When choosing commercial access control systems for large business, there are many factors to consider. For example, how many doors will the system need to cover? What types of credentials will be used? Quite simply, you want to make sure your new system will not interfere with any of your current systems. Depending on your specificity, there are three different categories of security systems you may be interested in.

• Category one includes very basic systems that may only operate at an administrative level.

• Category two includes medium systems that typically operate across a variety of areas in the company.

• Finally, category three includes high end access control systems that feature an integrated keypad and a wireless signal system.

You should think about the size and complexity of your company when selecting the best access control system installation. One of the most important considerations is that some systems are meant for smaller businesses whereas others are meant for large businesses. 

The main distinction between large and small businesses is that a large business has more people in need of accessing the building than a small business. This means that a large business needs more doors to be controlled than a small business does. Now sizing isn't everything when it comes to selecting an access control system for a large business, but it is one factor to take into consideration.
