While time has passed since COVID-19 first made an impact on the world, things have changed significantly. For a while, it seemed like the entire world was shutdown. Now that things are starting to open back up, the CDC still recommends social distancing and limited contact with people.

As you open your business, you may wonder how you can uphold these recommendations to help keep yourself, your employees, and your customers safe. One option is to make use of your security system.

If you are wondering how, find out below.

Access Control System
With an access control system in place, you can control who is entering your facility and who goes in certain areas of the building. During social distancing, this is a helpful tool that will limit access to and in your building.

It also helps you keep certain areas cleaned and sanitized and prevents anyone from entering the building without permission or the proper protective gear. This will help you achieve the goal of keeping your customers and employees safe. Most modern access control systems are compatible with mobile devices, which means you can restrict access to specific areas and program lock permissions regardless of where you are.

CCTV – Commercial Video Surveillance
With a video surveillance system in place, you can monitor your business from any location at any time. This lets you see what is going on and ensure that the proper sanitizing and safety protocols are followed. Also, with this system you can identify visitors or employees before they are granted access to the building.

Having the ability to see your property 24 hours a day, seven days a week means you can keep everyone safe while upholding social distancing recommendations.
