Due to covid-19, most people are now have been working from their homes. It’s time to make the most of your office security technology to ensure your business, and your staff are completely safe during the lockdown and after it. It would be best if you had a proper plan to keep the place and the people safe from any crimes and viruses from spreading. As a business owner, it becomes a responsibility to make a secure and safe environment for everyone. Here are a few ways you can make most of office security technology during the lockdown. 

1. Automatic access control 

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is now the perfect time to create automatic access control to prevent germs from being transferred by touching surfaces. This ensures a hands-free operation and minimises any potential contamination or virus spreading risks. Automation access control can include: 

• Automated gates 
• Automated doors 
• Facial recognition 
• No-touch exit buttons 
• License plate recognition 

2. Perform upgrades 

Since the place is less crowded, you can upgrade systems. Upgrades could be either relocation or addition of access control at gates or doors, or of any CCTV hardware, or it could even be COVID-19 ready measures such as people counting solutions to keep the crowd in check or thermal camera to check the temperature. Doing this could save time as technicians won’t be delayed and can manage installs much quicker with less crowd in the building. 

3. Set up remote access 

With electronic monitoring security, you can access the system from anywhere. As the staff has to work offsite, this is the perfect opportunity to set up remote access to video feeds to a laptop or external PC or phone. External access can open/close doors remotely; also, the staff can update, manage, and monitor the building as required without physical attendance.
