Public Sector Door Access Control

Monitoring access needn't be time consuming or left to chance

At ITS we understand computerised door access control is now a needed technology in public sector buildings. We have a proven track record in the installation and support of access control in the public sector. Please see our case study section for a selection of door access control clients including Swindon borough council, one of many types of council that are taken advantage of our door access system.

Security

With door access control from ITS you assure that you can limit access to sensitive departments and also gain reports into possible attempts to gain unauthorised access, via our easy to use graphical user interface you can see all locations of employees and also automatically receive alerts if a door is forced open. All the data is saved and can be viewed if any incidences happen and records need to be produced.

Scalability

With the ability to secure over 1000 doors across dozens of sites it makes certain the system will grow in-line with the expansion of your district offices. With our partnership with Microsoft we have developed our system on the tried and tested SQL database platform.

Safety & disaster recovery

With the ability to integrate access control to your existing fire alarm you can plan evacuation procedures. For example all doors can open if the alarm is sounded. Also locations and attendance of employees can automatically be printed out in the event of an emergency.
You can be assured the system won't fall if the offices suffer from a power cut. With battery back-up as standard all security on the doors will still be present. If the server end of the system has to be taken off-line all access records are stored in the internal memory of door access controller and replicated as soon as the power is restored.
With our range of anti-vandal readers and the possibility of installing access readers in the walls of external buildings assures vandals won't compromise the system.

DDA (Disability Discrimination Act)

After working with our public sector client base we understand how important DDA compliant technology is in any public building. We can work with site managers to design sufficient access including the installation of automatic doors and DDA compliant readers. Please see below for a summary of reader options.

High range proximity card readers - This gives disabled employees the ability to gain access to designated doors without having to physically present a card to a reader. As long as the card is in a 5 meter radius the reader will grant access.

Hi Visibility Access control readers - We have a proximity reader that has been designed to help the visually impaired gain access to the building.

Audible Access Control Readers - With speakers built in to our specialist readers visually impaired employees can locate and use the reader.

All the above access control readers can be configured to allow an extended period of granted access. For example a disabled employee may need one minute door open time. This can be set differently for each employee in-line with the requirements

Easy To Use Graphical User Interface

We have developed our door access control from the ground up with usability in mind. The actual GUI is based around the familiar point and click interface within Microsoft Windows. Our customers find learning how to administer the system a fairly easy task. You have the option of attending one of our weekly training sessions conducted at our head office or arrange a qualified training to visit your premises so you can fully understand how to administer the system
