The problem

A keyhole judgment does not cut it. Keys get copied, lost and handed on, and a building with uncontrolled doors has no way of knowing who is inside when it matters.

How it works

We start with the doors, the people and the flow between them, then specify the right reader for each point: keypad, proximity card, fob or biometric. Everything runs from a PC-based system, so permissions are changed centrally, cards are cancelled in seconds and every arrival and departure is logged. IP proximity and biometric systems integrate with your other estate systems as you grow.

Questions

Straight answers.

Cards or biometrics?
Cards and fobs suit most sites and are quick to issue and cancel. Biometrics suit high-security areas where a credential must not be shareable.
Can it link to fire evacuation?
Yes. Access data tells you who is on site, and doors can be set to release on a fire signal.
Can it run alongside our CCTV?
Yes. Door events can be tagged to camera footage so you see exactly who used a credential.

In their words

  • I would like to express my gratitude for the prompt and effective resolution of the recent software issues. The speed with which the matter was addressed, and the professionalism shown throughout, kept disruption to a minimum. My thanks also to Maciek, whose expertise and knowledge were invaluable.

  • I have been quite particular in some of the location criteria and the team have worked to provide the best solution that works for us but also makes sure the system works to its best ability. They have been professional, polite & hard working, communicated really well and are a credit to the company.
    Paul Morris, Director · Utility Retail
  • I've got nothing but praise for the guys doing the install. They were very thorough, helpful and very understanding of what was happening around them, particularly in the Manchester store where there were customers constantly coming in and out of the store.
