Access Control Systems

Features of our access control

Pin, Biometric, Mobile

Advanced identity verification and access management

Our access control systems authenticate users through secure card, PIN, biometric and mobile credentials. With real-time visibility and detailed activity logs, security teams can track who accessed which areas and when. This improves accountability, supports investigations and ensures operations stay secure across all controlled zones.
Real-time access monitoring

Tracks entries and exits across all controlled points, providing live oversight and enabling rapid response when suspicious activity or invalid attempts occur.

Centralised management platform

Unified software allows administrators to update permissions, generate reports and manage multi-site access from a central dashboard for improved efficiency.

Audit trails and reporting

Automatically logs user activity to provide clear records of who accessed which areas and when, supporting investigations, HR processes and compliance requirements.

Scalable multi-site deployment

Supports single buildings or large networked facilities, enabling organisations to expand, standardise and manage access control consistently as operations grow.

Integration with CCTV and alarms

Works seamlessly with surveillance and intrusion systems, linking events to video and alerts for improved situational awareness and coordinated response.
