Access Control

At Automation and Security we understand that every property is different. They have different security requirements needing unique access and security solutions. You can rely on us to supply you with a tailored service. Whether you are a house owner, who would like to operate the gate from the convenience of your vehicle or a big business site which employs a large team.

Access control systems are versatile and can be applied in practically every location. In this day and age when security is ending up being a priority, access control systems and automated electrical gates are more economical- and advised- than ever. They are no longer the luxuries which are only available in stately country homes. For many years, we have created and installed bespoke access control solutions for property and commercial clients across Newcastle, Sunderland and the North East.

There are different types of access control systems, each with their benefits and limitations. We will be more than happy to discuss your requirements and assess any existing access control systems, highlight any particular locations you'd like to improve or focus on. Our components are sourced from reliable suppliers in the industry and installed by our fully qualified engineers.

Choosing an Access Control System 

Firstly, you should consider your practical requirements. Fingerprint and iris scanning may sound foolproof, but it may not match the practicality requirements of your business. How much training will your staff need to keep the system? How simple is it to include an individual to the authorised list?

Residential owners typically select a multi-operational system. A keypad for pin-code access, key fob for push-button control and a hub inside the residential or commercial property for central control. There is often audio/video connection to permit the owner to verify the identity of the visitor before approving access to the property.

For smaller commercial premises, access is frequently given via key cards or key fobs. This system can be further personalised to limit the locations onsite which can be accessed by a specific user based upon their roles. It's an efficient method to secure any classified info.

Larger businesses or industrial site with multiple access points may opt to have a mix of automated and manual access control. For instance, employees are approved for access with a key fob, while a central security station validates visitors and deliveries before they are authorised.
