How Access Control Solutions Keep You in
Control of Entryways When It Matters Most
The benefits of access control extend well beyond simply monitoring ingress and egress. From recognizing threats, to keeping you compliant with regulations, to helping you stay productive day-to-day, your access control system is the technology solution that keeps you in command of the safety of your community.
Control Access + Monitor Activity in Real Time
Simplify and strengthen security by managing who can enter your buildings, grounds, or restricted areas—and when. With real-time access controls, you can easily set permissions to ensure only the right people have access to the right places at the right times. It’s about keeping your team, your data, and your community safe, while making sure everything runs smoothly and stays compliant.
Detect Threats + Respond Faster
Stay in control of your organization’s safety—whether you’re on-site or off-site. With flexible access control systems, you can spot potential risks, assess situations, and take action in real-time. It’s like having eyes on your facilities 24/7, so you can protect your team, your assets, and your community, no matter where you are.
Stay Compliant with Legal + Regulatory Standards
Staying compliant doesn’t have to be complicated. With an access control system, you can prevent unauthorized entry, protect sensitive information, and keep detailed records of who’s accessing your buildings and grounds—and when. You’ll also gain valuable insights into traffic patterns and work habits, helping you streamline operations and optimize your community environment. Plus, all this meaningful data is stored securely, ready to support future investigations. It’s peace of mind, with proof.
Enhance Safety for Public Spaces
Public safety is at the heart of what you do. An access control system helps you protect the spaces your community depends on—like libraries, recreation centers, and government offices—while keeping them open and accessible to the public. From managing crowds during events to securing restricted areas, you’ll have the tools to respond quickly to emergencies and prevent unauthorized access. It’s about building trust by ensuring your facilities are safe, secure, and ready to serve everyone.
Streamline Operations + Save Taxpayer Dollars
Every dollar counts when you’re serving the public. An access control system simplifies operations by automating entry, reducing the need for manual security checks, and providing real-time insights into facility usage. With streamlined processes and fewer administrative headaches, you’ll save time and resources—freeing up your team to focus on what really matters: delivering essential services to your community.
Scale Security as Your Government Agency or Municipality Grows
As your organization grows, your security should grow with it. A cloud-based access control system lets you scale effortlessly—whether you’re adding new buildings, expanding your team, or upgrading to meet new security demands. No need for costly overhauls or complicated installations; the system adapts to your needs, ensuring you’re always protected. And because it’s cloud-based, updates and upgrades happen automatically, so you’re always equipped with the latest tools—without lifting a finger. It’s security that grows as fast as you do.
Integrate with Existing Solutions
Your access control system offers you a flexible, scalable solution that you can integrate with your other systems including video surveillance, emergency response, the paging system, and environmental sensors.
This centralized management system gives you control of who enters and leaves your premises, resulting in a truly comprehensive safety and physical security solution.
Enjoy Peace of Mind
Say goodbye to the stress of lost keys or unauthorized access. With the right access control system, your team gets seamless entry to the buildings and areas they need—when they need it. No more headaches, no more delays. And with everything running smoothly, you can focus on what really matters: serving your community and keeping your organization safe, secure, and worry-free.

Customize Features to Make an Access Control System the Right Fit for Your Government Agency or Municipality
Swipe Card and Card Reader Technologies
One popular approach to government access control is enhancing physical security by preventing entrance without a swipe card. Key fobs and the associated readers control access to designated areas based on credentials. This feature empowers you to directly improve your agency’s security and safety profile.
Request-to-Exit Systems
Whether you select motion detection (releasing the door when motion is detected) or exit button technology (releasing a door at the push of a button), request-to-exit systems offer a powerful and impactful approach to access control.
Door Strikes
Door strikes can be customized so that your doors will only permit exit or entry if a keycard is scanned. These system components can be configured to allow one-way traffic, providing a truly personalized approach to your security needs.
Crash Bars
These bars can be motorized and activated to open with your access control systems.
On-Site, in-Person Training and Project Management and Implementation Support
Our Eastern DataComm team can provide your organization with project management and training to assist in the smooth implementation of your municipality or government agency’s access control solution.
From generating and programming swipe cards to configuring your system and fully understanding key types of notifications, we’ll help you and your team make the most of your access control solution.
