Engineering
Our highly skilled multi-disciplinary engineering team bring together extensive experience in all aspects of electronic security, IT and networking.
Our team includes qualified engineers from various disciplines who remain at the leading edge of security and related technologies.
Access
Electronic Access Control ensures critical operational areas are protected and only authorised people are able to access the facilities at the right time – and everyone else is locked out.
We have designed and installed multi-site integrated access control to some of Australia’s most secure facilities – including data centres, universities, hospitals and commercial buildings. As each site requires unique security solutions, we utilise a coherent, integrated range of technologies and can offer a best of breed solution to each site. Our chosen technologies mean we have access control solutions to suit sites of all sizes and complexities. We understand the need for Access Control to accurately identify and record access to authorised personnel while providing security for sensitive operational areas.
Whilst ensuring optimal site security is the highest priority we design Access Control solutions that are easy to use and simple to maintain.
Our team includes experienced and certified installers of a range of solutions. They have a deep understanding of both existing and emerging technologies so our solutions are customized to best fit each client.
CCTV - Video Surveillance
We can offer complete CCTV solutions with a specialist capability in IP based solutions. Our team includes certified installers of all major UTP brands who understand how to integrate a CCTV solution in a structured cabling environment. With strong network design capabilities our client’s benefit from our team’s experience which extends to network design and implementation.
The CCTV technologies utilised are best of breed ensuring easy recovery, intelligent search and always available performance. Through an understanding of each environment we are able to customise solutions to ensure recording parameters and storage solutions are optimized.
Our design teams have extensive experience with the selection of suitable cameras to suit each location and environment. IP based CCTV solutions also provide the ability to remotely monitor premises on mobile devices – providing our clients with both practical solutions and peace of mind around the clock.
Visitor & credential management
The management of visitors to a site can be greatly simplified through the use of an integrated solution.
We are experienced in the design and installation of systems that manage visiting personnel and accurately identify and record the entry and exit of both authorised personnel and vehicles.
Further, these systems can be extended to include credential management that ensures site access is only granted to those individuals with current and valid credentials. These may include OH&S inductions, trade licenses and insurances etc.
Alarms
Intruder and duress alarms provide peace of mind that people and assets are protected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A correctly designed alarm system will mean minimal false alarms while optimising reporting of events. This ensures when incidents do occur, they are detected early, reported correctly and can be responded to quickly and appropriately.
Our understanding of information technologies allows us to integrate technologies such as wireless and mobile devices to solutions, and IP based reporting options to mobile devices. This ensures the right people are notified of an event immediately.
Biometrics
Biometrics authentication (or realistic authentication) is used as a form of identification and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance. Examples include fingerprint, palm veins, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina and odour/scent.
Our software integration engineers have been responsible for some of the most sophisticated installations in Australia. We can advise you about the options for biometrics systems for any scale of businesses.
