 Integration of access control into existing security systems

Value added through integration in time and energy savings

Our solutions are suited to both home and business environments

Traffic Control

Traffic control systems allow access based on authorisation and access options. Intercom systems, access control systems and CCTV all play a part in controlling traffic using integrated solutions.

We offer a range of traffic control systems including:

Traffic barriers - An effective and convenient method of vehicle control to sites. These are normally quick to respond to approaching vehicle and can rise as quickly as 1.5 seconds to a 90 degree open. These are a cost effective option

Automated Gates - Existing and new gates provide premises with options for access control. They can be used for vehicles and pedestrian access to both restrict and allow entry. Whilst they are slower in operation that a traffic control system these are generally used at premises that want a more pleasing look and have lower traffic volumes. Our gates are available as both sliding and swinging options. They can be made to size and specifications required and so will always fit with your security needs, whilst maintaining a pleasing aesthetic.

Rise and fall bollards - Generally used to restrict vehicle access and movement. A discreet but effective solution. They enable an entrance to be restricted from vehicle access whilst allowing pedestrians and cyclists to gain access to entrances.

Keyless Entry

Keyless entry puts you in control of your access

Improve your security

 Removes the need for keys

Business premises and many new homes now have some form of access control and offer keyless entry, offering enhanced security and reducing insurance policies. Keys are being used less and less in favor of technology. We see and use intercom systems more frequently than ever before and even biometric finger scanners are the norm in many places.

We have a solution for every premise ad always design them bespoke to you and your requirements.

It allows you to choose the level of security you need and puts you in control of the access. Our systems start with simple solutions such as intercoms and progress through to biometric systems, it gives you peace of mind your security is right for you, your family and your premises.

Intercom systems are often used in block of flats and can restrict access into communal areas. These systems are now so clever they allow interaction with users and integrate seamlessly with other security systems at the premises. Meaning they are not standalone and work alongside Intruder alarms and CCTV systems.

For areas where a higher level of security is required, fingerprint readers are a popular choice. Front doors can have have a fingerprint reader lock, providing easy and convenient access to family members and those with permission without the need for a key.

All controlled from a desktop PC and without the need for cabling connecting the doors. The SALTO range of networked locks has many applications and in some cases it is as simple as replacing the lock cylinder.

Replacing locks can be very costly, so every time someone loses a key you have further costs. Electronic systems mean you can simply delete the key that is missing and a new one be issued to the user. The system can be designed to grow with you and the needs of your family. The system can easily be updated and made into a ROM access control or data on a card and therefore you do not need to change the door hardware.

A cost effective solution the SALTO XS4 RFIDROM system is a popular choice, it has the benefits of a stand alone system but with compact and cost effective packages available.
