Cloud access control allows businesses to manage the points of access within their building via systems that are based in the cloud. Users can access the systems via a computer or computer from wherever they are in the world, giving unparalleled flexibility over their buildings.
For maximum reliability and security, our cloud-based access control systems are hosted on three remote servers so that should one server fail or go offline, users have reassurance their system has the resilience to keep going.
Cloud access control benefits all businesses that need to manage their entry and exit points, as well as internal areas of the buildings. Whether you’ve got one or multiple sites, there is a cloud access control solution that will meet your requirements.
As well as supplying and installing cloud access control systems, we can also assist in handling hosting, maintenance and support.

Mobile credentials
Cloud access control allows employees to use their smartphones or smart devices as digital keys. This is done via Bluetooth, NFC or QR codes. This reduces the need for a business to use physical cards or fobs which are prone to being misplaced.
Remote management
Doors, cameras, permissions and users can be managed from anywhere via the web or a mobile application. There’s no need to be on site and multiple users can be allowed to make changes, meaning there’s always cover.
User and role management
A cloud system has customisable and flexible management options, meaning a business is easily able to assign or revoke access based on user roles, as well as support any temporary or scheduled access they may require.
Real time access control
Cloud access control enables real-time management, meaning a business can instantly control which users can access which doors, at what times, as well as instantly updating permissions across various locations.
Integration with current systems
Last but not least, cloud access control has the ability to integrate with current systems that a business has, such as time and attendance systems or HR systems. OLS also create bespoke integrations based on individual requirements.
24/7 support
As standard, we offer a 24/7/365 online customer portal with next-day response fault logging and real-time updates on fault resolution so you have the peace of mind your system will be up and running again as quickly as possible.

Cloud based access control is software that allows administrators to monitor and edit access information from one centralised system – anywhere at any time, whether on-site or on the go – via an internet-connected device. On-premise is a system installed and operated within your premises that requires a physical computer server to run the necessary software and an IT professional to maintain and update the system on-site, as and when needed.
