Commercial Access Control Systems That Do More Than Lock Doors

Know who enters your facility, where they go, and have the audit trail to back it up.

Access Control Built for Commercial Facilities

If your building security still relies on physical keys or a basic card reader with no real management layer, you are leaving access decisions to chance. Modern commercial access control systems give facilities managers real control: who enters, which areas they can reach, when access is allowed, and a full audit trail to back it up.

Paramount designs and installs access control solutions for commercial facilities across St. Louis, from single-entry offices to multi-building campuses with complex permission structures.

Choose the Right Access Control Model

Not every facility has the same risk profile or management structure. Paramount evaluates your building, user base, and security requirements to recommend the right commercial access control systems model from the start.

  • Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

    DAC gives individual resource owners control over who can access specific areas. It is flexible but requires consistent management to stay secure, making it a better fit for smaller teams or lower-risk environments.

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

    RBAC assigns permissions by job role rather than by individual, which simplifies administration and scales well as teams grow or change. This is the most common model Paramount deploys for commercial offices, healthcare facilities, and multi-tenant buildings.

  • Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

    MAC applies fixed, policy-driven permissions that users cannot modify. For high-security environments like data centers, government facilities, and regulated industries, Paramount configures MAC systems that enforce strict access policies without exceptions.

Ready to Upgrade Your Facility’s Security?

Paramount brings together the right technology, credentials, and integration expertise to build physical access control systems that actually fit how your facility operates. Every solution is backed by our ironclad warranty and around-the-clock service support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are images stored and reported via the access control system?

When considering how images are stored and reported via the access control system, various methods exist. Integrated system reports may offer diverse functionalities:

  • Some integrated system reports only supply a “hot link” to the CCTV.
  • Others, on the other hand, include a “snapshot” image.
  • Occasionally, some integrated system reports contain short video clips.

How much additional cost is associated with integrating CCTV?

Costs can vary significantly depending on reporting and archival time. For example, graphic designs and more complex reporting can require significant labor. Ultimately, customers should diligently consider their immediate and long-term goals for their credentialed access and CCTV requirements so costly upgrades are not required in the future due to a lack of initial planning.

What are the different ways I can access my system?

When our customers invest in a building access control system, we encourage them to select one way for their employees to access it from the user-facing side of things. Common access control methods include:

  • Electronic Badge Security Systems
  • Key Card and Key Fob Systems
  • Mobile App Systems
  • Wireless Connection Systems
  • Biometric Systems
  • Face Recognition Systems
  • Video Systems

Each type of system has its own features. Whichever system you choose, pick the one that best fits your building’s operations and access control requirements.
