SECURITY
1. Security System
Security is a fundamental need that affects all areas
of our personal/work lives and is instrumental to
the quality of our life. For organisations to operate
effectively it is essential that they safeguard against a
wide range of threats.
Alarm systems provide early detection of potential
burglars and hold-up protection for the employees and
customers. Alarm systems use sensors which detect
and trigger an alarm at the control panel, the sensors
used could include, passive infrared movement sensors
(PIR) vibration sensors, glass break sensors, magnetic
contacts and hold up buttons. In the event of an alarm
being activated the alarm system is typically attached
to a telephone line, or other methods such as wired IP
and wireless GPRS monitoring paths to provide in built
redundancy. If one path is down, the other continues
to transmit alarms, which is then used to send signals
from the alarm control panel to a monitoring centre.
The operators check what type of alarm is coming
through and then take action by calling key holders,
a patrol response or the police. Monitoring Centres
monitor when the alarm is being armed and disarmed,
indicating open and close times of your business.
2. Access Control System
Access control systems are designed to provide the
ability to control, monitor and restrict the movement of
people, assets in and out of the customer’s premises,
whilst helping manage known or anticipated threats.
Access Control is essential for businesses to protect
people and assets and can be scalable from a
single entrance door to a large integrated security
network. These systems have the potential to
integrate other systems such as time and attendance,
