Our Access Control Services & Solutions

Access Control is a not a one size fits all. It is also about finding balance between ease of access versus security. Some sites require a strict zero-trust system – others simply want to control the flow of traffic. Understanding the net impact of every action is – key long before any hardware is installed.

Residential Complexes

Flats, town houses, complexes and estates all have similar issues. We want to create an environemnt where tenants have ease of access and their visitors do not have to jump excessive hoops to gain access. This contrasts sharply with the need to keep unwanted ‘visitors’ out. This requires a stable system that can survive weather, vandalism, power outages and is still easy enough for tenants an guards to operate.

Offices

All offices should have adequate access management. Small doctors rooms to large business campuses need secure access. Policies need to be clear, consistent and sensible. All stakeholders in a business need to plan well in advance and consider all scenarios including customers, stock movements, supervision and security checks before a solution can be installed.
