Access Control

Access Control is the term used to describe entry/exit systems. These can be used to grant or deny entry to your premises or specific areas of your premises.

The systems can be either automated or user controlled.
Here is a simple entry system. It consists of a mechanical keypad which requires a passcode to be entered before the door is opened. One of these devices should be put on every door where you wish to restrict access.

This is a card-swipe and keypad combination. To enter the building, not only must you know the security code, but you must also be in possession of a corresponding swipe-card.

This is an example of a proximity detector. This means that you must have a special transmitter (shown in the picture as a keyring) to enter.

All of the Access Control methods shown so far on this page are automated, i.e. providing the person wishing to gain entry has the entry code, swipe-card or proximity transmitter, no other human intervention is required.

The following are examples of user controlled systems. These systems are most commonly used so the visitors can be screened and then access granted (or denied as the case may be) from a remote position;
e.g. it would be possible to allow access to the building from your office on the third floor after checking to determine the visitors identity.

This example system, allows both voice identification and visual recognition via a small video camera. The buzzer unit, which would be located by the entry door, will allow the visitor to buzz whoever they wish to see and then access can be allowed or denied.

The systems shown hereare just a small sample of what we can offer. All systems will be tailored to your individual needs and fitted by our engineers.
