Access Control Installation, Maintenance & Repair Services

Access control systems provide enhanced security to businesses, homes or premises by offering flexible control over who is permitted access. They are one of the most used security systems for businesses now and there are different types of systems available to meet your requirements.

Access control can be used on entrance doors, gateways, lifts, barriers or any entrance or exit points to control who enters and leaves a property. They are a solution to protect people within a residential or commercial property, a specific room or area in a property, belongings and systems as well as the property itself. They enable you to keep track of and control who is entering and leaving at any moment.

An access control system not only provides security of who is entering a property or site but also allows swift entry with a pin code or swipe access card.

Types Of Access Control Door Systems

There are different kinds of Access Control Door Systems and each one works slightly differently. Elite Fire & Security are experts in the types available and will be able to strongly recommend the best system for your property, business, needs and budget plan.

1. Keypad Entry Access Control Systems
2. Key Fob Entry Access Control Systems
3. Card Entry Access Control Systems
4. Fingerprint Entry Access Control Systems
5. Retina Entry Access Control Systems
6. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access Control Systems

Keypad Entry Access – This form of access control system utilises a keypad with a numeric keypad for entering and exiting. Businesses and homeowners can change the numeric code at any time if necessary.

Key Fob Entry Access – This is when somebody who has been given permission to access a property or an area uses a wireless remote control key fob to open the entry point, much like a car key fob. The fob is battery operated.

Card Entry Access – Access to an access point or door is controlled by a keycard which contains a security token. An installed keycard reader opens and closes the door when the card is touched against the reader or swiped through a swipe reader.

Fingerprint Entry Access – Biometric (fingerprint and retina) entry access control systems are growing in appeal because they are considered more secure as a result of the fact that the entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to any individual who isn’t authorised. A fingerprint entry access control system allows authorised individuals to gain access very quickly while preventing unauthorised individuals from doing so.

Retina Entry Access – Biometric (retina and fingerprint) entry access control systems are a growing market with lots of companies using them because they are seen as more secure access systems. The entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised and only allows access to authorised people.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access – Access control systems that use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) allow entry to authorised individuals. Radio waves are sent out by the RFID control reader, and radio waves are transmitted by the RFID tags (cards/fobs). The moment the card is within range, the antenna within it captures the waves and broadcasts a communication that contains a unique number from the chip, which allows access.

Access control door systems have the same purpose of enabling or rejecting entry or exit but they do so in different ways. You can have an access control door system in a business property, home or if you have land that is protected by fencing and gateways which allows you to control who enters. The systems can be developed and fitted to doors, gates, barriers, turnstiles and a lot more.

Access Control System Benefits

1. They allow fast and simple access or entry to any individual authorised
2. They prohibit entry to those who are not authorised
3. You can identify who has entered and when (record of entry)
4. They can limit regions within a building or residential or commercial property quickly and remotely
5. They are very difficult to break into and gain entry without the authorisation
6. They offer protection to people inside a building
7. They protect valuables and belongings in a building
8. They protect businesses, sites and residential or commercial properties
9. They allow fast and easy access to anyone authorised

The system you decide on will depend on your property and security requirements. Elite Fire & Security will execute a full security appraisal of your site and learn more about your needs and afterwards recommend you the very best solution for you and your finances.

As opposed to an access control door system, an intruder alarm will not prevent anyone from entering a building or area, it will just alert you or others that the area has been accessed without your consent.

Professional Intruder Alarms Installation, Routine Maintenance & Repair Dursley

An intruder or burglar alarm will offer protection to your business inside and out and keep your company operating without any interruption whilst also protecting your team, customers and brand name. Any sort of theft or maybe vandalism causes significant disruption and cost to the property whilst you organise repair work, recuperate inventory and liaise with insurance companies.

Safeguarding your property and commercial property with a professional industrial intruder security system will certainly reduce the chance of planned burglary and decrease the probability of any type of ad hoc attempts too. Thieves are much less likely to target properties with an alarm system as they will likely want a fast and noiseless entry where they are less likely to get captured.

Commercial Intruder Alarms Advantages

1. It is well-known that intruders are going to opt for a property with no security system or an out-of-date system instead of running the risk of entering a commercial property with a recently integrated alarm system
2. If your business maintains stock, specialist equipment, team member belongings and private and delicate data then an intruder alarm will reduce the possibility of your property being broken into
3. An alarm system gives you peace of mind 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as you know if no one is at your business or property then your alarm will sound in the event that someone accesses it who is unauthorised
4. An alarm system usually makes staff members feel safer as it can be set at specific access points when they are working as well as reduce the concern of them entering into a vacant property
5. A professionally fitted alarm may decrease your insurance policy premiums whether it is a business, commercial property or home. In some cases, the amount invested in a monitored alarm system can be offset by a decrease in your insurance premium and it is certainly worth contacting your insurance provider to check or talking to various other insurance firms when your renewal is due
6. A property with a fully integrated alarm system is more likely to sell compared to a commercial property without one
7. Professional alarm systems can be automated and show you which access point has actually been broken into
8. Professional alarm systems can be connected to emergency services thus if the alarm system is triggered the police will be called to the property right away
9. An alarm system will alert neighbours and passers-by if there has actually been a robbery and the police may be called promptly rather than you finding out when the next person enters your property
10. Not all companies have somebody there every day or even every week, some commercial properties are used in order to store items or inventory that are essential to your business. In these scenarios, a commercial intruder alarm provides you peace of mind that your property is protected when nobody is there and is a much cheaper option than manning 24/7
11. Some commercial intruder alarm systems come with cameras and motion sensors that alert you in the event that somebody is inside or outside of your property. This means you will be alerted that someone is at your property for you to investigate well before there is a chance of any break-in
12. Monitoring systems that are compliant with UK legal criteria are suitable for prompt police response. The time that may be saved on simply by linking directly to the monitoring centre can mean the big difference between catching the criminal or arriving too late. Only approved security providers can install police response systems

Types of Commercial Intruder Alarms

Depending on your requirements, there are different types of alarms readily available and the one you choose will depend upon the nature of your business and the commercial property and belongings you are protecting. Elite Fire & Security can advise you of the most effective solution for you and your business or property and can incorporate separate security systems to ensure maximum security.

Remote Monitoring and Domestic Intruder Alarms – These alarm systems can be arranged so that a call centre monitors your premises 24 hours a day. A signalling system will almost instantly contact your call centre in the event that the alarm system is set off. The call centre will then get in touch with the key holders and the police if you have a Police Response system. This can function in 3 different ways;

Keyholder – when the alarm is activated, the alarm receiving centre will call your appointed keyholders

Text Alert – when the alarm is triggered, a text is sent to inform your nominated contacts of an invasion

Police Monitoring – the authorities will be notified through the alarm receiving centre if your alarm is activated

Wireless Intruder Alarm Systems – Wireless systems allow you to install sensors, cameras, beams and motion detectors around your property that alert you when something or somebody is detected. Alarm systems like these are great if you have numerous entry points due to the fact that the system will notify you regarding which sensors, cameras, beams and motions have been triggered

An Audible Intruder Alarm – a loud alarm and flashing strobe lights to draw attention. Intruders will be alerted to such systems, however, they are normally unmonitored key holders and the police will not be informed except if a member of the general public calls to report a disturbance. Therefore, they are not always the most effective selection for commercial properties as they rely upon neighbours or passers-by noticing and reporting the disturbance as well as some seasoned thieves being undaunted by the alarm and flashing lights.

Residential Property Fire Alarm Systems

If your residence is on the ground floor or one storey then ordinarily one smoke and carbon monoxide detector is enough to give you an early warning of smoke or fire. You should always be able to hear their alarms in any spot of your home and if you can’t then you should install more. In the case that you have a two or triple-floor property then you really should have the alarms fitted on every single floor and again check you can easily hear them inside any room of your home when they are set off. You really should perform a check with them each month to make sure the alarms sound and change any batteries frequently. A number of alarms are connected to your mains electricity and some are battery operated therefore testing regularly will advise you if there are any issues with either.

It is advised that home fire and carbon monoxide alarms should be positioned outside of each independent sleeping area and in the immediate area of any bedrooms. They need to be installed on the wall or ceiling depending on the detector’s directions.

If you believe that you need more than a smoke and carbon dioxide detector in your home then contact Elite Fire & Security without delay and we are able to help.
