Why Should I Install A Fully Intrergrated System?
Integrated systems maintains its cost effectiveness across the spectrum, regardless of the size of your system, modular design and memory size options ensure that you are only paying for what you need. Furthermore, incredible expandability and ongoing product development and support, ensure that the system purchased today is a long term investment in your security management plan, avoiding the need to replace a system that will not keep pace with your needs.
What Is Integrated Technology?
Seamlessly combines Security Monitoring, Access Control of Doors and Lifts and Building Management Technologies within the one system.
Why Should I Install An Integrated System?
Integration of technologies offers considerable control over the movements and actions of staff and visitors as well as significant cost savings for the property owner, tenant or manager.
For example:
- All Users are assigned individual permissions within the system and access to and from any Area, movement through doors and access via Lifts etc are strictly controlled, reported and recorded.
- Reduction in the time required to administer separate systems and produce composite reports. All information is now contained within the same system and compatibility of data across applications is not an issue.
- Having granted access to a User, the system automatically turns off the security alarm to reduce unnecessary alarms events and turns on the lights to prevent accidents.
- Reduced cost due to the reduction in cabling and labour required to install and maintain individual systems.
- Reduced cost as a result of the system’s ability to 'share' detectors, inputs and outputs across technologies. For example, the same motion detector used to detect intruders after-hours may be utilized to automatically turn on lights in the room when somebody enters during business hours. If there has been no movement in the room for a given time, the lights may by turned off, further reducing costs through more efficient energy management.
The scope of integrated applications and the inherent cost savings are only bound by your imagination!
Security
Up to 2000 detection points are monitored throughout the entire building. Each detection point is protected against tampering and tested by the system regularly. Security events are reported immediately via a range of communication options to Remote Monitoring Stations, mobile phones, on-site computers and pagers. All events are recorded for future review.
Access Control
Access through up to 250 doors, gates and turnstiles can be controlled and monitored. Flexible programming options allow full customization of User permissions across a range of access control levels. Occupants only have access to their permitted Areas, through doors and gates you designate and during the times you specify!
Multiple Tenants
The system may be partitioned into up to 250 Tenancies or Areas, each capable of operating as a separate system. Security, Access and Automation may be programmed to operate individually for each Tenant, events being reported by the Tenant’s choice of communication option. Users may be assigned permissions allowing them access to one or more Tenancies.
Facilities Manager
The Facilities Manager can fully administer all User and Access permissions via ACCEPT Windows based computer software. In addition, ACCEPT software gives full control of entities within the system such as doors, heating, air-conditioning, lighting and other outputs such as pumps, garden sprinklers and gates.
Alarms and other specific events can be programmed to appear on the Facilities Manager’s computer screen to ensure that he/she remains up-to-date with what is happening within the building.
Lift Access
Lift Access may be controlled and monitored using the same card or key fob issued to the User for Door Access and Security. When the card or key fob is presented at the reader in a Lift Car, the User is only able to select a Floor from the specific list of Floors that has been assigned to him or her. Only one Floor may be selected each time a card or fob is presented and all selections are recorded to review.
This feature provides a relatively simple access solution for those applications where office space is let on a 'per floor' basis.
High Security Areas
Door Interlocking may be used in High Security Areas to ensure that only one door to this area is unlocked at any one time. Access through an interlocked door is not available whilst somebody else is using an associated interlocked door.
Energy Management
To minimise energy wastage, lights and other facilities may be automatically turned on when movement of a person entering a room is detected. They can then be turned off again when no movement has been detected for a specific time, as set by you.
Visitors, Contractors And Guests
The System provides a contingency for visitors or contractors who attend your premises for short periods of time. Each visitor may be issued proximity identification card which is only valid between specific times and on specific days, as set by you. These cards may be given restricted access through specific doors and to specific Floors and even made to cancel themselves upon their first use.
Building Services
Other Devices such as Garden Sprinklers, Fountains or other utilities may be programmed to operate between specific times and on certain days. They may even be qualified by other conditions. (Garden Sprinklers will not activate if the moisture sensors indicate that the ground is already moist).
Manual operation of utilities is also available, if desired, including control via computer or a mobile phone using GSM Short Message Service (SMS).
Car Park
Car Park entry may be restricted to specific users or use at certain times. Users must present a valid proximity identification card to enter or exit the site. Separate 'In' and 'Out' boomgates and readers allow vehicles to be counted. The 'Car Park Full' sign may be illuminated and the 'In' boomgate disabled when all available spaces have been taken. The sign may be turned off again and the 'In' boomgate re-enabled as vehicles leave and spaces become available once again.
Networking And Scalability
Multiple panels and multiple computers may be networked to achieve Facilities Management on a grand scale! Many panels and many computers may be linked within the one building to extend system capabilities and allow management by multiple computer operators.
Furthermore, buildings may be linked nationally or even globally to achieve truly centralized Facilities Management and proprietary Security Monitoring. Concept represents the ideal choice for those corporations seeking a national or international solution.
