access control
How you get in, and how you choose to let visitors in, is just as important as the automation itself. We offer access control solutions that put you in control of who enters your property, whether through keypads, intercoms, remote access or more. advanced entry systems.
The best access control solution depends on who needs access, how frequently the gate is used and how much control you need over visitors
The simplest and most well known. Press the right button on a remote control, and your gates open or close.
Can be more complex than you think to make sure you have the right one, the more secure options match radio frequency, manufacturer specific code, and rolling code to your gate’s control board settings to safeguard your remotes against cloning.
Remotes:
Probably what you first thought of when coming to this page. They’re a classic for a reason.
Speak to visitors at the entrance before deciding whether to grant access. Available in a wide range of styles and ways to connect:
-Audio intercoms: let you speak to visitors at your gate without needing to see them. The external unit typically has a call button, microphone and speaker, connected to an indoor handset or answering station. Once you've identified the visitor, you can activate the gate release from the indoor unit if the system supports it.
Video intercoms: Adds a camera to the external call station, allowing you to see and speak to visitors before granting access. An indoor display can show the live image, and compatible systems can trigger the gate through a release button.
Smartphone-connected intercoms: These systems send visitor calls to a compatible smartphone app, allowing you to answer calls, view live video and release the gate remotely, depending on the system. They're useful if you want to manage access when you're away from home.
Multi-user and commercial intercoms: Designed for apartment blocks, offices and shared entrances, these systems allow visitors to call a specific resident, office or department. Depending on the system, users can answer through handsets, indoor screens or smartphones.
Intercoms
Smartphone and app control
Operate your gates using a compatible smartphone, whether you're at home or away. Depending on the system, you can grant access remotely, manage users and monitor gate activity
Proximity cards and readers
Users present an authorised access card, tag or fob to a reader to open the gate. This is particularly useful for apartment blocks, workplaces, managed properties and sites with multiple users.
Typically Installed inside the property, these detect a vehicle approaching the gate and automatically trigger the gate to open. This allows vehicles to leave without needing a remote control or access code. Induction loops detect vehicles using a wire loop installed beneath the driveway surface, automatically triggering the gate to open or preventing it from closing while a vehicle is present, depending on how the system is configured.
These can also be linked to a time clock relay and installed at the entry, allowing unlimited access during set hours/days. This can be useful for commercial properties that want a simple way to ensure their gates only allow free entry during business hours.
A camera identifies registered vehicle number plates and triggers access for approved vehicles. ANPR is well suited to entrances where regular vehicle access needs to be controlled without any extra steps involved from the driver.
