CCTV, Access Control, Audio and video DDA compliant door entry systems and Automatic Gates and doors.

We have experience in installing a 1 camera systems to view front doors and parking, recorded under the stairs to 200 camera systems, monitored from anywhere around the world.

We also have experience in installing a single door standalone intercom keypad system to a 140 door Campus wide networked Access Control System with Visitor Management.

Notes on Access Control Door Entry: Door entry devices come in many types to handle the many environments of Access Control. At one end of the range are the sophisticated devices – for example biometric readers, or Weigand technology. At the other end are the most simple and robust vandal resistant readers for the hostile environments; and there are of course many options in between – video, audio, or simple keypad entry.

Audio and video DDA (disability discrimination act) compliant vandal resistant door entry KITS. The special needs door panels have been developed to comply with the disability discrimination act (DDA). They will help prevent the discrimination disabled people face when trying to access public buildings using an intercom system.

Remote Monitoring with Motion Detection: Proactive and a Deterrent

Remote monitoring using external motion detection can prevent incidents happening in the first place. Every camera, inside and outside, can be associated with motion detection, remotely monitored over IP, using existing bandwidth outside normal operational hours. Alarms – generated by CCTV motion detection – can be recorded, confirmed and responded to in an appropriate way. Operators at a Remote Video Response Centre can observe an intrusion as it is happening, interpret the behaviours of whoever has triggered the alarm from the sight of the camera, and take any necessary action. In addition, rather than sending guards to apprehend suspected intruders, the system can act as a deterrent by broadcasting tannoy messages through a live, bi–directional audio feed, to warn a potential intruder they are being observed. All this delivers much greater control, a reduced requirement for live monitoring and consequent reduction in ongoing costs.

The primary benefits of such systems are to protect the infrastructure, people, and assets, and to counter petty crimes such as opportunistic theft or vandalism. They are invaluable to schools in that they help externally to protect perimeters, and are particularly effective at reducing incidents of vandalism. IP CCTV can also integrate with other alarms such as door entry and intruder devices, provide rapid and effective response in an emergency situation and aid visual identification and prosecution, while providing detailed ancillary management information of use to the school.

Testimonial

“The only real test of a school’s performance is the calibre of citizens who emerge from it. An insecure environment can only create a hostile and threatening atmosphere. Law Dempster Security designed, installed and maintains a controlled access system with complete CCTV support that enables us to prevent any unauthorized entry to our property. The monitoring equipment installed gives us the ability to identify and then avoid reoccurrence of any incidents or behaviour that threatens the everyday operation of our school.”
Mr. John Richardson – Kingsmead School, London.
