same attributes as in the previous example (on page 31), with the addition of: • a vandal resistant external door entry panel with an integral camera
• the ability to record images in colour of people using the door entry panel
• battery back up of the resident entry features of the system in the event of a power failure for up to six hours
• unrestricted egress from the building to the user in the event of an emergency or power failure
• the storage of entry system events for 30 days for both visitor and residents
Movement within
Access control systems can also be used to curtail unlawful free movement through the building. This could be achieved by a combination of access controls and dedicated doorsets using a proximity reader, swipe card or key. The above measures are designed to
prevent unauthorised access from the lift, the stairwell and the fire egress stairwell to communal corridors, whilst also providing residents with access to the floors that they require.

Monitoring and management
One of our SBD member companies, Entrotec, reports that there is huge scope to obtain management data. When a system is scaled up over a number of doors, it is often linked to a computer based software package or web based programme to allow greater control over the system and extra information. Usage reports should be available to show which flats are called, or which fobs are used, frequently or infrequently, and even show the ‘state’ of any given door (such as whether it has been forced open or wedged open), and who has entered or exited the building. It should be possible to send alarms for both user and system events, which may be reported with the option of predetermined alerts being sent out using SMS or email.
Working on standards
It is crucial to enable the fire service to have unrestricted access to all floors in an emergency. To facilitate such access, the police and fire services have collaborated to create a secure emergency access protocol.
