AccessControl
available 24/7 which helps contractors to choose more flexible and convenient systems to accommodate such needs. Now with internet communication, it’s possible for those who reside or
work within a building, as well as visitors, to get in touch with someone should they need assistance, whether that’s from within the apartment/ office block or from an entrance point. Lets take the Videx VX2200 with IP concierge integration. This system is exceptionally flexible, enabling calls to be answered on Videx intercoms and also mobile phones if required. With the integration of the IP concierge each block can be either standalone or networked via the internet back to a central control room.
Improved security legislation Further advancements in programmes such as Secured by Design (SBD), a police initiative that improves the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings to provide safe places to live, work and visit, means that there’s more security legislation being implemented that’s making intercoms and access control more secure, without affecting ease and convenience. Videx holds an SBD accreditation and we know, from first-hand experience, how it’s making a difference in keeping residents and workers safe.
When you combine the safety features promoted by an SBD member company like ourselves with the likes of the Videx event logging, image capture and ability to modify access users on the go, for example, we can help to create a very safe and secure environment. In my role, I see weaknesses in systems and constant ongoing costs that could easily be avoided. For instance, features such as timed remote entry means there’s no need to worry about keys being lost, the wrong keys being supplied or locks needing to be changed. In another example, with new systems such as the Videx MiAccess and
Videx WS4 range, we can help to massively reduce carbon footprints and engineer costs by allowing them the access to management and control from an offsite location. Technology has completely transformed the way electrical contractors
are able to choose, install and manage door entry and access control systems for the end users they serve. If they’re advised on the most appropriate systems that meet their specific entry needs, they can help to ensure greater, safer and more convenient access control that meets the requirements of both the end user and those responsible for its effective management.”
