Keyscan Access Control in the GTA

Keyscan is a provider of access control solutions, specializing in products and services designed to secure buildings and facilities. Here’s an overview of Keyscan:

Keyscan access control is one of the systems we install for commercial buildings in Newmarket and the GTA that want centralized control over every door. We handle the door hardware, controller wiring and software setup, and are available afterwards for credential changes and service.

Access Control Systems: Keyscan offers a range of access control systems designed to control and manage entry and exit points within buildings. These systems typically include door controllers, card readers, keypads, biometric devices (such as fingerprint and facial recognition) and management software. We use facial recognition mainly as an access-control credential for staff-only doors, with a privacy review first.

Door Controllers: Keyscan’s door controllers manage the back-and-forth between each card reader or keypad and the rest of the system, checking every attempt against the access rules and schedule we’ve configured for that door.

Card Readers and Credentials: Depending on the building, we set Keyscan up with proximity cards, smart cards, PIN keypads, key fobs or mobile credentials.

Management Software: Keyscan’s Aurora software, now part of the dormakaba product line, is the management platform – it’s where we handle user setup, access schedules, activity logs and reporting, with an optional web client for managing the system from a browser or phone.

Integration: Aurora integrates with visitor management, wireless lock platforms and intrusion panels including DSC, so a Keyscan access control system and a DSC alarm system on the same property can work from a shared picture of the building.

Scalability and Flexibility: Keyscan systems scale from a single-door office to a multi-panel, multi-building deployment, which is why we use it for both small commercial properties and larger portfolios.

Cybersecurity: Keyscan’s Aurora platform uses encrypted communications and secure authentication, and we keep the software current as part of our ongoing support.
