Access and Door Security
The most popular forms of access control and door security are listed below. However, should you require any further information or have a more specific requirement then please contact us.
Audio Door Entry - The audio door entry system consists of an entrance panel which allows visitors to call a resident and be identified audibly via the intercom. The resident receives the call through a handset which has the facility of unlocking the main entrance door.
Video Door Entry - The video door entry system offers a higher level of security than the audio system, as the resident is able to see and talk to the callers before opening the door. In this case the entrance panel has a small high resolution camera placed behind a protective glass shield.
The audio and video signals are then received by the resident through a telephone handset, with a mono or colour LCD display. Once the caller is visually identified the door can be opened by pressing a button on the handset.
Keypad - Access through doors is by means of a digital keypad and electric lock release.
Proximity Detection - Entry is gained by using a pre-coded keyfob device which is simply presented to within 10cm of the control plate. The keyfobs are easily programmed onto or deleted off the database. This is particularly useful in busy working environments where there is a constant footfall of personnel.
Magnetic Swipe - In the main this technology has been utilised by the hotel and leisure industry. Swipe cards are now the preferred method of gaining entry to hotels rooms. A swipe card programmer is located in reception; the receptionist programmes the card, and each room door recognises the unique magnetic strip and unlocks the room. The system is flexible and cost effective as cards are very cheap to replace if lost.
Electronic Baby Tagging - All babies when delivered wear a tag around their ankle. An alarm sounds if a baby is near any ward exits and staff are alerted to which entrance is being compromised.
