Modern-day security systems feature all types of protection and prevention for your home. Video camera, security monitors, and sensors are all typically combined to create an access control system for the home.

If you're planning to upgrade or install a completely new access control system for your home, there are numerous options and features to consider. An access control system installation caters to your preferences and needs. 

Learn about custom options to help an security system fit the needs of your home and have an emphasis on the features making you feel the safest. 

Installation Location

Getting access to an access control system should be easy and feel safe each time you look at it. The location you select for your home is completely up to you. Ideally, the location should be somewhere away from entry points in the home but is still a common area where you can find easy access from multiple areas of the home. 

For example, if you have a home office you use often, the whole system would fit well there. A bedroom is another location, especially if you're monitoring things at night or the early morning. Think about the layout of your home and different locations where you could benefit from. 

The access control system does not have to be in plain sight either. For example, a kitchen is an ideal location, but the whole panel may be located within a pantry area so that the system is not always in view. A security company will determine the wiring and installation needs once a location is selected. 

Two-Way Intercom System

Security cameras are ideal for monitoring people accessing your home, but adding a line of communication can make a big difference when allowing people near your home. The installation of a two-way intercom system offers instant speech options while you are safely in the comfort of your own home. 

The added option includes the ability to give messages, greet people, and figure out intentions without the need to open your front door. The intercom feature is ideal for food deliveries, package deliveries, and unexpected guests at home. 

Security Camera Monitor System

Having visual access to the exterior of your home is an important component when setting up an access control system. A security camera monitor system has a number of features available for your home needs. 

A multi-camera monitor screen may feature input buttons making it easier to change camera angles and see specific cameras. Cameras may have night vision modes to showcase views in the darkness. Certain cameras hooked up in your home may have the ability to move and adjust based on angles you are seeking manually. 

Adding one or more of these features will help give you all the security coverage you feel comfortable with. The installation of a monitor gives you a constant connection and can also tether to a digital DVR for storing video footage if you need to look back on clips. 

Buzz-In Door System

Not only does an access control system give you the ability to see who is on your property, but you can grant access for people directly through the control system. There is no need to leave the comfort of your home to let them in. This type of system is known as a buzz-in door system. 

The buzz-in system can work for multiple types of doors in your home. For example, if you have driveway gates, an access control system allows you to open and shut the gates as needed. If you have a fenced in area of your home, the outer door can operate on a buzz-in system. Adding multiple tiers of security prevents direct access to the front door of your home.
