Access control systems are essential for offices, condos, industrial sites, and retail stores across Canada<\/strong>. The right solution protects people, assets, and data.<\/p>

Types of access control systems in Canada<\/strong><\/p>

  • Keycard \/ fob systems<\/strong> \u2013 most common in condos<\/p><\/li>

  • Biometric systems<\/strong> \u2013 fingerprint or face recognition<\/p><\/li>

  • PIN keypad systems<\/strong> \u2013 budget friendly<\/p><\/li>

  • Mobile access control<\/strong> \u2013 unlock doors via smartphone<\/p><\/li>

  • Cloud-based access systems<\/strong> \u2013 manage remotely<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    How to choose the right solution<\/strong><\/p>

    Ask these questions:<\/p>

    • How many users will access the building?<\/p><\/li>

    • Do you need to track entry logs?<\/p><\/li>

    • Do you require remote management?<\/p><\/li>

    • Is integration with CCTV required?<\/p><\/li>

    • What is your budget?<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      Canadian compliance considerations<\/strong>
      Ensure the system follows Canadian privacy laws and PIPEDA standards when storing user data.<\/p>

      Benefits of modern access control<\/strong><\/p>

      • eliminates lost key issues<\/p><\/li>

      • improves employee accountability<\/p><\/li>

      • integrates with visitor management<\/p><\/li>

      • creates time-stamped entry records<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Entilators will be taken from certain New York hospitals and redistributed to the worst-hit parts of the state under an order to be signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>

        New York saw its highest single-day increase in deaths, up by 562 to 2,935 – nearly half of all virus-related US deaths recorded yesterday. The White House may advise those in virus hotspots to wear face coverings in public to help stem the spread mid deepening crisis, top health official Dr Anthony Fauci has said he believes all states should issue stay-at-home orders.<\/p>

        \u201cI don\u2019t understand why that\u2019s not happening,\u201d Dr Fauci told CNN on Thursday. \u201cIf you look at what\u2019s going on in this country, I just don\u2019t understand why we\u2019re not doing that.\u201d<\/p>

        \u201cYou\u2019ve got to put your foot on the accelerator to bring that number down,\u201d he added, referring to infection and death rates.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

          The comments from Dr Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared to contradict those of President Trump, who has consistently dismissed the notion of a nationwide lockdown.<\/p>

          Both the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are reassessing their guidance on face masks, as experts race to find ways to fight the highly contagious virus.<\/p>

          Covid-19 is carried in airborne droplets from people coughing or sneezing, but there is some dispute over how far people should distance themselves from each other, and whether masks are useful when used by the public.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

          In global terms the US has the most Covid-19 cases – more than 245,000. And on Thursday the US authorities said more than 1,000 had died in the past 24 hours – the highest daily toll so far in the world.<\/p>

          Hospitals and morgues in New York are struggling to cope with the pandemic, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has warned that New York risks running out of ventilators for patients in six days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
