Frequently Asked Questions
How do I manage access if someone loses their card?+
With networked and cloud-based systems, you can instantly revoke a lost credential from the management software — the card becomes useless within seconds. You can also add temporary access for contractors and visitors.
Can access control be integrated with our CCTV?+
Yes. We routinely integrate Paxton and HID access control systems with Hikvision and Dahua NVRs. When a door is opened, the system automatically tags the relevant camera footage — invaluable for investigations.
Is access control suitable for a small office?+
Absolutely. We install everything from single-door standalone systems for small offices to enterprise-grade multi-site platforms. We will recommend the most cost-effective solution for your size.
What happens to the doors in a power cut?+
All our systems are designed with power failure in mind. Battery backup units maintain operation during short outages. We design fail-safe (doors unlock) or fail-secure (doors stay locked) based on your fire safety requirements.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for access control?+
Yes — we offer annual maintenance contracts covering preventative maintenance visits, software updates, battery replacement and priority support response. Essential for insurance and compliance.
