Secure Access Control

Our access control platforms manage colleague, visitor, and contractor access into and around your premises.

Using a variety of technologies, we alert to unusual or suspicious activity whilst balancing security and experience. 

Our solutions are deployed in single buildings, across campuses and multiple locations - providing a consistent and manageable approach to access control.  

Our Access Control Capabilities

Pedestrian Access | Keeping people moving, whilst protecting your premises

Pedestrian access, especially at main entrances, can be difficult to manage especially during rush hour. This is especially true if thermal screening is required. Our access control systems combinie physical turnstiles and barriers with the latest access control technology. They are designed to:

  • Maximise your throughput without compromising security
  • Reduce costs with fewer manned staff required to guard the turnstiles
  • Offer protection against power outage, thanks to backup batteries
Automatic Number Plate Recognition | Providing safe and secure vehicle access

Preventing unauthorised vehicle access is one of the first steps to a modern security plan. Using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), our systems allow you to manage the vehicles on your site without the need for additional staff. Our ANPR enabled solutions provide a platform for:

  • Automatically controlling site access
  • Facilitating access to specific car parks
  • Identifying & alerting any site traffic issues
  • Identifying & alerting the arrival of VIPs
  • Enforcing speed limits
ID Management | Putting you in control of who can access specific parts of your facility

ID management is crucial to the integrity of any security system, but even more so for sectors such as Banking, Finance, and Critical Infrastructure. Our ID management solutions can:

  • Authorise access for particular areas per person
  • Check that people have the right training, clearances, and certificates to enter specific areas
  • Prevent unwanted ex-employees from entering a facility in instances where their access rights have been rescinded
Visitor Management | Giving you a clear understanding of who is in the building at any given moment

Visitor management is so important - you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Our systems can:

  • Provide quick and secure passage to your visitors without compromising security
  • Overcome the challenges of paper-based systems with fully digital implementation - no more pens and logbooks
  • Allow you to clearly and quickly identify who is still in the building in cases of emergency
