Access Control Systems - How We Can Help

At D.R. Electrical, we install tailored access control systems that play a crucial role in enhancing building security and controlling access within commercial premises. We can install a wide range of door access solutions, from single/multiple door entry kits to specialist whole-site installations, integrated into server networks with various access options. As an approved Paxton installer, we’re qualified to create a safe and secure environment for your business.

Choosing The Right Door Access System

Choosing the right door access system involves several key factors. First, consider your business’s specific security needs, including the number of entry points and the level of access control required. Then, review factors like the size and layout of your premises and any unique security challenges.

We’ll help you evaluate the different types of access control systems available, such as keypad entry, card readers, biometric scanners, or key fobs, and suggest one that best fits your requirements and budget.

It’s also important to consider the scalability and flexibility of the system to accommodate future growth or changes in security needs.

Installing Door Access Systems for Wirral Businesses

We assess optimal placement for access control panels, wire them for connectivity, and ensure a stable, safe power supply.

If existing security systems like CCTV or alarms are present, we can integrate the door access system for comprehensive security.

After hardware installation, we customise the access control system to your needs by setting user access levels, configuring entry schedules, and thoroughly testing functionality.

  • Biometric Access Systems: Use biometric data such as fingerprints, facial recognition, retina scans, or palm prints for entry.
  • Proximity Card Readers: Cards or fobs that communicate with a reader via radio frequency when near, without physical contact.
  • Mobile Access Systems: Access granted using smartphones or mobile apps via Bluetooth or NFC technology.
  • Smart Lock Systems: Locks that can be controlled remotely or by proximity through a smartphone or key fob.
  • Barrier and Turnstile Systems: Physical barriers that are controlled by access credentials, such as keycards, PINs, or biometrics.
  • Intercom-Based Access Control: Audio or video intercom systems where a user requests access and is granted entry by an operator.
  • License Plate Recognition Systems: Automated access for vehicles using cameras to recognise and verify license plates.
  • RFID Access Systems: Uses radio frequency identification to allow entry when an RFID tag (card or fob) is scanned.
  • QR Code/Barcode Access Systems: Scans QR codes or barcodes on mobile devices or printed tickets for entry.
  • Time-Based Access Control: Allows access only during specific times or for a limited duration.

BARRIER WITH KEYCARD CONTROL

 

Our access control gates are ideal for commercial buildings and regulating the flow of traffic to and from the premises.

The gates be extended to work with the fire alarm system so they automatically open in times of emergency.

For the security conscious, they can also be fitted with RFID and barcode scanners to ensure no valuable items leave certain access points without authorisation.

Not only does this enhance security, but also reduces theft rates from the property.

Benefits Of Door Access Systems

Access control systems offer numerous benefits for businesses and contribute to a greater sense of peace, heightened safety levels, and improved environmental control. Ultimately, door access systems provide business owners with a profound sense of reassurance, knowing that their premises are fortified and protected 24/7.

Enhanced Security Through Controlled Access

By regulating access, door access systems act as a deterrent against unauthorized entry and potential theft, thereby safeguarding valuable assets and sensitive information.

Improved Monitoring & Accountability With Entry Records

Door access systems facilitate monitoring and accountability. They can maintain detailed records of entry that can be instrumental in investigations or audits.

Increased Safety By Restricting Access

By restricting access to hazardous areas, door access systems can play a pivotal role in enhancing employee safety and mitigating the risk of accidents or incidents.
