Often over-looked in the security arena, intercom and door release systems can provide significant safety at a very reasonable price. When added to an existing electronic access control system, the added benefits far outweigh the costs. See who is coming into your building. Maintain positive control by only allowing in those who have a valid reason (by checking that reason first).  

We will help you set up the system that meets your current and expected future needs by identifying door stations, control stations, and sub-stations. A common pitfall is defining your needs now without anticipating where you may want to add later. Often, once installed these systems can have limited capacity to expand without swapping out major components. Let us help you define the right system at the right price.

More and more, businesses, governmental institutions, hospitals, schools, and a wide variety of other building owners are turning away from traditional keys to control access into their building. Using electronic locks and user-specific credentials can allow customized control of who has access and when they have access. The key is selecting the right system management software that truly gives you the control you need. Our leading Access Management platforms are renowned for their ease of use while still providing robust, customizable, and scalable solutions to meet your specific needs.

Our staff specializes in the installation of these systems from start to finish.  Technicians have received training and are experienced in installing and setting up all components of a working access control system from the door to the remote-viewing PC platform. This includes locks, readers, sensors around the door, controllers and power supplies in equipment rooms and servers and remote management software. 

We can install systems in existing buildings or in new constructions. Want to control your costs or have your own preferred lock or hardware vendor?  No problem. Our project management team has worked on installation projects in a variety of settings from a small 1-2 door system to complex, multi-building units coordinating with electricians, hardware installers, etc.

CCTV cameras are popping up everywhere, and just about anyone can offer to hang a camera or provide web-based recording.  However, can they provide a true surveillance solution, designed to capture the images necessary to meet your security needs? Camera technology has evolved from black and white cameras to high end, High Definition and MegaPixel camera systems. However, many pitfalls remain if you don’t select the right system to meet your specific application.  

Our consultants are more interested in helping you select a surveillance system that captures the images you need, than just selling you equipment. We will help you choose the cameras, the recording system, the appropriate cabling/transmission media, and connectivity to your network or remote devices. And making sure that the final solution fits your security and BUDGETARY needs. We will also help you anticipate growth or future needs that you may not even see.

TV ads for home security systems lead you to believe you can achieve an envelope of protection for a minimal investment ($99 and a “Free” 2nd keypad).   This is the hook to get you to call. Once you sign the contract, you may soon find yourself with a system providing minimal coverage, and you may be locked into a long-term contract. (See our FAQ section for more details on what you can really expect from your home security system provider).

Today’s security systems provide much more than just standard burglar or intrusion detection. Sensors are available to monitor for dangerous gasses (carbon monoxide), basement flooding, high or low temperatures (coolers, freezers, network/equipment rooms), combustible gasses, and other environmental conditions. 

Technology puts you in control of your system. Starting with simple wireless keyfobs for arming and disarming, to integration with electronic door access systems, arming and disarming can be customized for each client’s needs.   Systems can send status updates or alarm events via email or text message.  Users can get live status via remote connection from a laptop, LAN/WAN, or even via smart phones (BlackBerry, Droid, etc). The systems can even allow you to talk directly to the dispatcher, without having to make a separate phone call. Alarm systems can also be integrated with other security systems (CCTV, door access, etc) to provide additional information about what is happening at your home or business. Integrated system can provide images from your CCTV system, or event information from your access control system. You can even provide live or pre-recorded messages warning intruders that the police have been notified. 

Our systems can be local alarm only or connected to a UL-listed monitoring center. Connections are normally made with a standard phone line. Options are available for the systems to communicate with the central station over cell lines, internet, or internet phone (VoIP).

Our security consultants will evaluate your home or business and provide you with the level of protection you need to give you true peace of mind. You will not be surprised by hidden fees, costly upgrades or additions, or long-term contract with increasing annual rates.
