Why Access Control Matters

Keys Are a Liability — Access Control Is a Business Asset

Every business that still relies on physical keys faces a fundamental security gap. You cannot know who entered a restricted area, you cannot instantly revoke access when staff leave, and a single lost key can compromise your entire facility at significant re-keying cost.

Access control systems replace keys with intelligence. Every entry and exit is logged with a timestamp, credential ID, and door location. Terminate an employee? Access is revoked in seconds from any browser — no locksmith, no re-keying, no risk window. That is the difference between reactive and proactive security.

United Protective installs and manages commercial access control systems across Ontario — from single-door offices to 50+ door enterprise facilities — all managed from one cloud platform.

Right Reader for Every Door

Our commercial security consultants specify the right reader technology for each door based on traffic, sensitivity, and user type. One size never fits all.

🔒

Proximity Keycard / Fob

The most common commercial credential. Contactless tap-to-enter cards and key fobs work within 5cm of the reader. Fast throughput for high-traffic doors like main entrances and parking garage gates. Cards are instantly deactivated in the cloud when an employee leaves.

Biometric Fingerprint

Eliminates credential sharing entirely — a fingerprint cannot be lent, stolen, or forgotten. Ideal for server rooms, cash offices, pharmacies, and any area where you need absolute certainty of who entered. Modern readers verify in under 0.5 seconds. No badge required.

Server RoomsCash OfficesPharmacies

📱

Mobile Credential (Bluetooth)

Employees use their iPhone or Android as the access credential via Bluetooth or NFC. No physical card to issue or deactivate. Access is managed entirely through the cloud app — grant or revoke instantly by disabling the user's mobile credential from the dashboard.

PIN Keypad Entry

PIN-only or PIN+card two-factor entry for secondary verification on sensitive doors. Ideal as a standalone solution for low-traffic restricted areas where issuing cards to every user is impractical. Codes are changed instantly in the cloud — no hardware required.

Video Intercom + Remote Unlock

Two-way video intercom at entry points lets staff see, speak with, and remotely unlock the door for visitors — from their desk or from their phone anywhere in the world. Full visitor log with photo capture. Integrated with cloud dashboard for complete entry history.

👤

Multi-Factor (Card + PIN / Card + Bio)

Two-factor access requiring two separate credentials for ultra-high-security zones. A stolen card alone cannot gain entry. Recommended for data centres, pharmaceutical storage, financial vaults, and any area where a single-credential breach would be catastrophic.

Cloud-Managed Platform

Complete Visibility — From Any Device, Anywhere

Traditional access control systems required on-site software, a dedicated PC, and a technician visit for every change. Our cloud-based platform eliminates that. Every door, every credential, every event is managed through a secure web browser or mobile app — in real time, from anywhere.

When an employee is terminated, you revoke their access through our access control platform before they reach the parking lot. No waiting for a technician, no emergency re-keying call. The credential is dead instantly.

✓

Live entry feed — every access event appears on your dashboard the moment it happens

✓

Push notifications — instant alerts for denied access, door held open, or after-hours entry

✓

User management — add, remove, or modify staff credentials from any browser in seconds

✓

Exportable reports — download audit logs in CSV for compliance, HR, or insurance purposes

✓

Remote lock/unlock — unlock the front door for a visitor from your phone while off-site

✓

CCTV clip sync — access events automatically pull the associated camera footage for instant review

📞 CALL 1-800-XXX-XXXX

How much does a commercial access control system cost?+

Cost depends on the number of doors, credential type, and whether you need video intercom. A single-door keycard system starts around $800–$1,200 installed. A 10-door biometric system with cloud management typically ranges $6,000–$12,000. We provide a written quote after a free on-site assessment.

Can access control integrate with our existing CCTV cameras?+

Yes. Our access control platform integrates directly with United Protective CCTV systems. When a credential is used at a door, the system automatically captures the camera clip from that moment and links it to the access event in your dashboard. This provides immediate visual confirmation of who used each credential.

What happens if the internet goes down?+

All access control decisions are processed locally at the door controller, so the system continues operating normally without internet. Previously issued credentials continue to work. Events are stored locally and sync to the cloud when connectivity is restored. The only features that require internet are real-time remote management and push notifications.

How quickly can access be revoked when an employee leaves?+

Access is revoked in real time — within seconds of clicking deactivate in the cloud dashboard or mobile app. The credential stops working immediately at all doors it was assigned to across all your locations simultaneously. No technician visit required, no hardware changes needed.

Can we issue temporary access for contractors or visitors?+

Yes. Temporary credentials can be issued with a set expiry date and time. A contractor credential can be valid only during work hours on specific days. A visitor credential can expire at end of day. All temporary access is logged and the credential automatically deactivates at the set time — no manual follow-up needed.

Is access control required by law for certain Ontario businesses?+

Certain regulated industries in Ontario — including cannabis retail, pharmacies, financial institutions, and some healthcare facilities — have mandatory access control requirements under provincial and federal regulations. Our consultants are familiar with these compliance requirements and will ensure your installation meets all applicable standards during the assessment phase.
