Flexible, customizable, and completely secure—that’s the power you have with a card access system. Secure your Edmonton business with a card reader system and control your entrance doors using electronic security hardware. Professionally installed by Union Alarm.
Once deployed, controlling access to your building is simple. By using an electronic access control system with proximity based access cards or electronic key fobs, you can:
- Manage which users can gain access to the building by providing Bluetooth credentials, key fobs, or electronic access control cards.
- Before opening a door, employees and guests must first swipe a valid access control card, enter a personal code, or provide an electronic key fob to gain entry.
- Revoke access to specific users, and restrict access to an area whenever necessary.
- Program time schedules to control when areas are accessible to card users.
By creating user groups, you can manage which employees can enter a specific area (and at which times those areas are accessible). Once you assign a schedule, you can restrict access to user groups when necessary and keep your building secure.
Ever wondered who enters your building and at what time? With a traditional key mechanism, you’ll never know. But card access systems will track who opens each door, and records that event. You can protect internal or external entrance doors using our electrified locking hardware and electronic card readers.
Plus, you’ll never need to change your keys or locks again. Use the software to reprogram your key fobs or access cards whenever you need to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Card Access Systems – Q&A
What are card access systems?
Say goodbye to locks with keys. A card access system requires the use of a programmable key card, valid credential or key fob to gain entry to your building. Simply swipe an electronic card or key fob at the card reader and the door unlocks for an authorized user. When you want to revoke access, you can edit user groups or permissions using the software.

Yes! We know that clients across Edmonton may have other brands of access control and card access systems.
