Credential-based entry systems, electronic door hardware, and cloud management platforms for commercial facilities across DFW. Know who enters your facility, when, and why — and revoke access instantly when circumstances change.
Issue, revoke, and manage access credentials without waiting on a vendor. Add a new employee in 60 seconds. Revoke a credential instantly when someone leaves.
Every access event is logged — who entered, which door, at what time. Searchable records for compliance reporting, incident investigation, and security audits.
Set access windows so contractors can only enter during business hours, cleaning crews only on weekday evenings, and server rooms only for authorized personnel.
Employees use their smartphone as their credential. Eliminates the cost and hassle of physical cards, and makes onboarding and offboarding significantly faster.
Access events automatically pull correlated camera footage. When badge #247 enters at 11:47pm, the system immediately surfaces the camera view from that door at that moment.
Unlock a door remotely for a delivery, view who is in the building right now, or pull last week's entry report — all from your phone or browser without being on-site.
The credential type you choose affects cost, user experience, security posture, and administrative overhead. Most commercial deployments use a combination. We recommend based on your specific environment, not on what's easiest for us to install.
| Credential Type | Advantages | Limitations | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Key Fobs | Inexpensive, familiar, easy to issue | Lost fobs must be tracked and revoked; no biometric verification | Small teams, low-security applications |
| Proximity Cards | Standard in commercial environments, long lifespan | Can be cloned if older 125kHz format; physical card management required | Mid-size offices with existing card infrastructure |
| Mobile Credentials | No physical card, instant issue/revoke, Bluetooth/NFC | Requires smartphone; battery dependency | Modern offices, fast-growing teams, high-turnover environments |
| PIN Code | No physical credential needed, zero hardware cost per user | Codes can be shared; no individual audit trail | Low-security secondary doors, visitor access |
| Biometric (Fingerprint) | Cannot be shared, strong identity verification | Higher hardware cost, privacy considerations, failure rate with dirty hands | Server rooms, pharmacies, high-security required |
Separate access zones per tenant with property management oversight. Tenants manage their own credential databases independently.
HIPAA-compliant access logging, restricted zones for medication rooms and records, visitor management integration.
Partner-only access to file rooms, client confidentiality zones, and after-hours entry logging for liability documentation.
Dock door access scheduling, time-based contractor access, forklift operation zone restrictions.
Server room protection, cleanroom access logs, integrated with HR system for instant termination access revocation.
Back-of-house access control, inventory room restrictions, opening/closing procedure enforcement.
The most powerful configuration we offer is the integration of access control and IP surveillance into a unified security platform. When a credential event occurs at any door, the system automatically pulls the camera footage from that location at that exact timestamp — creating a complete, searchable audit trail that links physical access to visual evidence.
This is not a custom integration or an enterprise-only feature. It's how we configure all Fortress security deployments by default when both systems are present.
