Which room access control system to choose?

Question

Iron

There is a building, it has a server room - help with a server and various equipment and spare parts. In this room, a considerable amount of valuable and expensive equipment, so you need to protect it from theft. There was an idea to think about the literacy of the security control of the entrance to the premises. There are thoughts about access using a magnetic access card or a numeric keypad. Ideally, a search is being made for a system that will not only start up in this way, but also somehow notify about the passage through a computer connected to the system (for example, using mail to the admin box). Share your experience, who uses what kind of entry control security systems, and how expensive are they? Naturally, a search is underway for some financially affordable way.
PS: Since it is still in a completely "floating" state, I will listen to any criticism of my thoughts, because there is a goal to be safe, but how - so far only guesswork.

Answer 1

1. Spare parts - you need to keep not in the server room!
2. At the entrance to the server room (from the inside) - we put a good webcam.
3. Servers in racks from dismantling - protects the server cabinet.

Answer 2

The usual lock, the key to the north at the Admin, the second - on guard. The second key is issued in the absence of the Admin with the approval of the management or the Admin against a log entry, returns - similarly, the time and name of the employee is recorded, the employee signs the first time, confirming that he took the key, and the second time, confirming that he locked the server room and passed key .
The price is 0, the magazine is still being kept, the watchman is still sitting at the checkpoint.

Answer 3

How does this, well, apart from spending extra money, protect better than an ordinary lock, the keys to which are only available to trusted personnel?
Door opening sensors - cost a penny. Card readers are also not very expensive.

Answer 4

A domestic product is used - the BOLID is called. Access by RFID card and pin code, electromechanical lock on the door. The lock can be opened with a mechanical backup key or a command from the ACS.
Each entry is recorded in the system database, notifications are sent by the bot via TOX.
Additionally - LAN cameras at key points, with motion detection. It helped when they "lost" the printer in the park - they found the right day in the archive, and found out which employee took it away.
I think the initial option will help you - cameras and a motion detector. Unfolds over three days, with breaks for lunch and chat.

Answer 5

good door lock + ip camera at the entrance with the ability to send alerts to the mail. If paranoia takes over, then the camera is on a separate ipb + backup Internet channel.
door or motion sensors cost a penny, as mentioned above.

Answer 6

We don't have a very cool server room. We did so. put two locks. One lock is an ordinary, mechanical, push-button, coded one (as they sometimes put on entrances). Very handy when running around. The door went out behind you slammed shut, back only by the combination of keys on the lock, well, and periodically change the code. And the second lock is generally an ordinary one with a key. We have written that at night we leave the server room closed with a regular lock so that in case of a fire, security and firefighters can enter the room. At night, our organization does not work, strangers do not walk at night.

Answer 7

Most good access control systems (Parsek, Sigur) will allow you to set up email alerts and more. Sigur, for example, will allow you to set up telegram alerts . Do not forget to take an electronic lock with a built-in reed switch and a hall sensor .
