Access Control
Our access control solutions combine traditional and state-of-the-art technology to secure buildings and manage entry points effectively. Designed specifically for commercial, industrial and historic buildings, our systems include smart access control, biometric identification and contactless office solutions that enhance security while maintaining compliance with privacy regulations. These integrated systems help prevent unauthorised access and can be upgraded with additional features like occupancy monitoring and touchless elevators.
Fire Alarms
We provide comprehensive fire detection systems tailored to meet both building regulations and client-specific requirements. Our solutions cover traditional fire alarm installations and advanced systems that integrate with broader fire safety strategies. With NSI Gold and BAFE SP203 accreditations, our certified engineers ensure reliable system performance, regular maintenance and timely upgrades that keep occupants safe and buildings compliant with fire safety legislation.
CCTV Systems
Our CCTV systems are designed to meet diverse security needs across commercial and industrial settings. Offering day/night motion detection, facial recognition for access control and remote monitoring capabilities, these systems provide real-time surveillance that enhances building security. Integrated with our 24/7 monitoring centre, our solutions reduce security risks while delivering scalable options that support both short-term projects and long-term SLA arrangements.
Security Integration
We specialise in integrating multiple security systems to create unified protection solutions for complex environments. Our approach ensures seamless operation between access control, fire detection, intrusion prevention and smart building technologies. These integrated systems improve operational efficiency while maintaining strict compliance with industry standards, particularly benefiting clients in the education, retail and finance sectors who require coordinated security and safety measures.
Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is a critical component of our fire safety solutions, ensuring safe evacuation during power outages or emergencies. We design, install and maintain systems that comply with current British Standards and building regulations. Our solutions include self-contained emergency lights and central battery systems, with regular maintenance and testing to guarantee reliable performance when needed most.
