An overview of Access Control Systems

There was a time when access to any building was controlled by a simple lock and key.  But those days are long gone.  These days, it takes much more to keep you and your possessions safe.  The CCTV Company are security specialists offering a complete range of security and surveillance services in Wigan, Warrington, Manchester and beyond.

It is a sad fact that times are simply not as safe as they used to be.  Most people would never dream of entering a building and assaulting someone or taking something, which did not belong to them.  Sadly, there are a few individuals who choose to ignore these standards which are there for our safety.  The only sure way to protect ourselves is to physically deny them entry to our homes, places of work, and other establishments.  One of the most effective ways to achieve this is to install a door access control system on all entrances to the building in question.  The CCTV Company have dedicated engineers who specialize in the design and installation of access control systems for both domestic and commercial properties.  Our aim is to deliver high-quality products at a competitive price.

An access control system to a building can take many forms.  The type of installation which will suit your circumstances depends on many factors, such as how frequently the door is used and what kind of threats are anticipated.  They range from a simple access control system, which may consist of nothing more than a keycard scanner or alpha-numeric keypad lock, to a fully integrated, CCTV monitored system with activity recording and remote operation.  Such sophisticated access control management systems are becoming commonplace at such institutions as schools and nursing homes, as well as business premises.

For reliable and cohesive performance, it is vital to have building access control systems installed by experienced and accredited specialists.  Just as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so your security arrangements will only prove effective if every vulnerable angle is covered.  Since we regularly supply and install alarm systems, automated doors, intercoms, security cameras, and a wide range of other up-to-the-minute security measures, we are well equipped to recommend the most appropriate hardware for your circumstances.

Protecting our homes is a constant concern for most people, particularly if we spend many hours each day out at work.  The internet has made possible many innovations in terms of remote access control systems, and these can allow you to monitor who is at your property while on the go.

Those of us who have children know that they are the most precious things in our lives, and we would do anything to protect them.  Access control systems for schools protect our little ones and those who work with them.

No one should be afraid to go to work.  An office access control system will allow you to restrict access to your business premises, for the safety of your employees.  Contact us for more information.
