Electronic Access Control

Access control systems are electronic security solutions that are installed to manage the flow of people into, around and out of buildings. The three primary functions of access control systems are to monitor the locations of individuals within a building, control where individuals are able to gain access and manage individual user permissions to ensure that access is granted to the correct individual to the correct areas at the correct times.

Product Overview

ADT offers a full range of access control products from core components to peripheral devices. A complete access control portfolio enables us to offer a complete solution design tailored to address our individual customer needs.  Our core access control range can be classified into three distinct system types.

Basic access control security alarm systems are typically installed to protect a single door and include audio entry systems, video entry systems or keypad/PIN devices. The main applications for this system type are front or rear doors to premises e.g. residential blocks of flats, small offices or offices with un-manned receptions and schools.

Standalone access control systems comprise of a small network of card readers controlled by local door controllers. These systems are suitable for one or two door installations within small offices, building sites, schools or retail units.

Networked or PC-based access control systems comprise of a front-end PC connected to a network of door controllers and card readers. These systems are most suitable for multi-door and/or multi-site installations within larger offices, industrial units, warehouses, hospitals and universities.
