FAQs
We are here to help
Here are some of the most common questions that our customers ask about access control solutions
Which is the best access control solution for my business?
Simply, it depends on your site, the usage and the flow of people and vehicles. Almas’ Security Audit will identify, with you, which system will be most effective and secure for your site.
From video door intercoms, fob and card readers, to face scanners, vein and fingerprint readers, we will design and install the best access control system for your business’ needs.
How much will an access control solution cost?
They aren’t free and they vary wildly depending on system, size and complexity of installation, manufacturer, quality and software.
What you don’t want is a poor quality access control system that’s easy to hack and where your site and users’ data won’t be secure.
We have monthly and outright purchase plus maintenance options to suit almost all budgets and costs start from €59 per month.
Are flexible payment options available?
Almas Industries understands that investing in security can be costly for enterprises. We provide numerous payment choices to meet your financial circumstances, making these advanced security measures more accessible.
Our financing solutions make it possible to stretch the cost of your security and related services over time, making them more reasonable for enterprises of all sizes. Because of our customised solutions and commitment to customer satisfaction, you can have peace of mind knowing that your investment in an access control solution is not just an effective security precaution but also a financially affordable one.
Leasing vs Outright Purchase
We work with outright purchase +/ – maintenance and leasing models. Leasing allows you to spread the cost of your access control system and also wraps maintenance into the monthly payments. Investment in your business’ future proofing of security can also sometimes fall under capital expenditure with related tax allowances.
Access control is only effective if it’s operational! We recommend that our customers choose a maintenance plan and have bronze, silver and gold levels of support contracts for outright purchasing customers.
Contact our team of security experts to discuss the best payment plan for your company and begin reaping the benefits of advanced security today.
Can my fingerprint be stolen?
No, because we don’t keep a picture of your fingerprint on our database. During enrolement, unique points (called minutiae) on your fingerprint are analysed and mapped. Then these are coded into a binary template using a proprietary algorithm.
Hows doe GDPR and data security fit into an access control system?
Any electronic system where personal data is stored is covered under the GDPR.
Any new system installation should be preceded by a privacy impact assessment, and your data protection policy should be updated. Good communication with and an explicit opt in in the case of biometric access control is best practice. You can read more about data processing here
Don’t worry, we’ve got your back on this, we will provide support with templates and comms if you need it.
What are the core benefits of an access control solution?
The core benefit of an access control solution is that it ensures your business is secure and that only the right people can gain access to the right areas at the right times.
A reliable access control system eliminates the threats presented by uncontrolled entry points, unauthorised access to sensitive locations, and unsupervised visitor access.
A great access control solution also improves user experience and increases efficiency because it fits the specific needs of your business. It works with the flow of people, vehicles, information and goods through your business to give you greater control, accountability and safety.
Why do I need a PSA accredited supplier and installer?
Critically, you risk a fine if you use an unlicensed installer in Ireland for access control installation. You can read about how one company was fined here.
However, the key is to realise that this law is actually in place to protect you, PSA licensed installers have to adhere to strict criteria and standards when it comes to installation and service. This, in turn, protects you and your business from poor quality workmanship and means your access control solution will work effectively for you.
