What is Access Control?
Access control gives you complete control over who enters your building, when they enter, and which areas they can access. It replaces traditional keys with secure, trackable, and customizable electronic systems.
This ensures:
- Controlled access for staff, tenants, visitors, and contractors
- Better security for assets, equipment, & sensitive areas
- Immediate reprogramming for lost keys or staff turnover
- Detailed entry logs for auditing and compliance
- Seamless integration with gates, overhead doors, and commercial entrances
Our Access Control Solutions
We offer a full range of modern access control options tailored to your facility:
Card & Fob Systems
As a Certified Dealer for CDVI, Mircom, and Transmitter Solutions, we provide secure and reliable RFID card and fob systems tailored for commercial and industrial environments. These solutions allow your administrators to easily issue or revoke credentials, adjust permission levels, and maintain full control over staff, tenant, and visitor access without the need for physical key changes.
Keypad Entry
Hudson installs high-quality, vandal-resistant keypad systems from our certified partner brands, including CDVI and Transmitter Solutions. These keypads support fully programmable PIN codes and are ideal for service entrances, mechanical rooms, delivery areas, and other restricted points that need durable, code-based access.
Mobile Credential Access
Our mobile credential solutions let users unlock doors directly from their smartphones, offering a secure, encrypted, and convenient alternative to physical cards or fobs. Whether combined with CDVI’s mobile-ready platforms or Mircom’s integrated solutions, mobile access is an excellent fit for busy, multi-site operations that require quick and frictionless entry.
Cloud-Based Access Control
As a Certified Dealer for CDVI and Mircom systems, we offer advanced cloud-managed access control platforms that allow you to manage your facility from anywhere. Administrators can add or remove users, unlock doors remotely, set custom schedules, and review detailed activity logs through an intuitive and secure dashboard ideal for centralized or multi-location businesses.
Gate & Door Integrations
Hudson specializes in integrating access control with gates, barrier arms, overhead doors, man doors, and storefront entrances. Using controllers and hardware from Transmitter Solutions, CDVI, and Mircom, we create a seamless, unified entry system where every access point works together to ensure a smooth and secure flow for staff, tenants, and visitors.
Intercom & Video Entry Systems
We are a Certified Mircom Dealer, enabling us to offer industry-leading intercom and video entry systems designed for commercial, industrial, and multi-tenant environments. These systems allow you to screen visitors, verify identity by audio or video, and grant access remotely, ensuring a secure and controlled entry process.
