WELCOME TO OUR NEW BLOG
The final days of 2023 ended as it began, in a whirlwind of installations and planning for 2024.
As we moved into 2024 we were nearing completion of a prestigious project in Hertford Town Centre
which we are very proud to have been involved in.
The Development consists of two blocks of residential apartments containing 98 one and two
bedroom homes with a small selection of commercial units located on the Ground floor.
The requirements were for a Video Entry System with Access Control & Full Concierge facilities
while offering a Safe and Secure environment for the residents.
To meet the developer's requirements and provide a future-proof system we chose a system from
Paxton Access is a market-leading UK manufacturer of access control and door entry with over
30 years experience within the industry.
The system installed uses web-based software with 24/7 management & engineer access via the on--
site system server which allows full system operational monitoring.
The Four Main Entrance Doors are accessed via Marine Grade Stainless Steel Video Entry Panels
which provides communication to each individual residential block and the on-site concierge, in
addition access is allowed by either Coded Access, Proximity Tag or Bluetooth when using an
assigned Smart Device.
Two additional doors are controlled by a Proximity Tag Reader.
All 98 apartments are supplied with a compact 4.3” touchscreen video entry monitor which provides
full duplex speech, call log facility & video snapshot of callers.
Proximity tags are assigned to each apartment which allows full on/off-site tag management should a
tag be misplaced.
The system installed is fully integrated with the developments Fire Detection systems so should an
alarm occurs within either block all doors within the affected block release automatically.
In addition to the Video Entry System, we were asked to provide a site-wide CCTV Surveillance
The system is linked back to the Concierge desk where he/she can have full control over the system.
For the system, we installed components supplied by Genie Products, a company we have used for
over 20 years for their unwavering reliability and high quality.
The system installed provides coverage of the main external public areas around the development
including the existing Bus Station.
The system is made up of Nineteen 4MP high-resolution ‘Eyeball’ cameras which provide a wide
angle of coverage and up to 50m nighttime vision via IR illumination.
Recording is via a 32-channel network recorder installed within a secure remote location, this recorder
allows full remote access and the ability to add additional cameras as required.
Both systems are now fully operational, and we are now partway through our next development.
