With expertise in video door entry systems, multiple technology readers, integrations, data encryption, business video access control, and intelligent management access control software, we can design a complete system tailored to your requirements. Our solutions are completely scalable and can be integrated with other technologies.
Using all of the latest technologies, including smart cards, biometrics, and mobile phone technology, we can control any type of door, gate or turnstile.
Access control systems generally utilise 4 main methods of entry:
Whether your business has a single entry point or multiple entry points, we can specify, fit, maintain and monitor the system in place to make sure your building or site is secure and that only people with the correct authorisation can gain access at any given time.
Choosing the right access control system is challenging due to hundreds of market solutions with varying features. Selection depends on factors like business size, budget, reader requirements, and business objectives.
Electronic access control systems rely on technologies like biometrics, Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth, which require constant uptime. Systems may face reliability issues due to misread fingerprints, internet outages, or other technical failures, affecting user experience.
Modern access control systems can integrate with video management systems (VMS), enabling more efficient security operations and additional functionalities like people counting and license plate recognition. They can also connect with guest management and alarm systems.
Advanced systems incorporate intrusion detection technology, allowing simultaneous locking/unlocking of multiple doors with one credential, eliminating the need to manually secure each door before setting alarms.
Some systems offer intelligent automation that integrates with business applications and IoT devices, supporting functions like visitor management, lighting control, and room booking.
Consider employee preferences between smartphone-based access versus traditional key cards. Mobile access systems may create friction by requiring phone unlocking before use, while biometric solutions may cause delays if fingerprints aren’t properly read.
Modern systems should accommodate flexible working hours and integrate with existing workplace apps. Look for solutions with open APIs, cloud-based architecture, and IoT compatibility to meet evolving workforce needs.
Protection against cloning, lost/stolen cards, and vandalism is crucial. Leading systems use multi-factor authentication and back-end monitoring for failed entries, jar notifications, and irregularities.
Systems can control elevator and garage access through “destination dispatch” and individual floor authorisation, adding security where criminal activity is likely to occur.
Verify durability in harsh conditions, as many readers malfunction in cold environments or exposure to rain and dust. Look for IP65-rated systems for outdoor installation.
Access control systems can track user movements throughout buildings, aiding safety monitoring and attendance tracking by analyzing logs to locate individuals within facilities.
