In addition to locking and unlocking a door, access control systems offer many other features not possible with a key. An Access Control System prevents unauthorized entries through doors and monitors designated alarm points.

All activity is monitored and recorded around a facility 24 hours a day. Access Changes to doors and alarm points can be made instantly using a PC connected to the Access Control Network. Reports can be generated to show activity and alarms can be triggered based on events.

These alarms can be translated to CCTV Camera Call-Ups to particular locations, pager messages or video clips written to a storage device.

Because of a strong networking and software background, Access Control is a natural fit. In the short time since Access Control Systems have evolved from stand-alone DOS and UNIX based systems to Client Server Enterprise Network applications.

Security 101's employees are factory certified to install and maintain the systems we represent. The systems installed by Security 101 include Honeywell, (NexWatch and Northern Computers), and Lenel.  Among the standard features for these Access Control Systems is badge imaging, floor plans, remote dial-up and CCTV control.

Hundreds of tasks can be performed simultaneously to allow maximum effectiveness and flexibility. Security 101 is a systems integrator and has been factory trained and certified to design, install and maintain these systems. Enterprise Access Control Systems can be controlled and monitored from a centralized security office, with satellite offices throughout the world. Each site is connected to the Access Control Server using TCP/IP over a 100baseT Network.

All activity is received and recorded on a server located at the Central Security Console. As events and alarms are received they are prioritized and switched to the outputs of a Matrix switcher and displayed with alarm information on alarm Call-Up monitors.

Enterprise Systems can have real time control and can be monitored and responded to by remote Security Guard forces on a real- time basis. Digital Recorders are used to record cameras during alarms with a 30-second buffer and during pixel changes or motion detection in specified areas. Doors can be opened, locked and alarms can be silenced anywhere on the system on demand from the security office. This gives the corporate headquarters a live account of what is going on at all locations all of the time. Security 101 has installed and maintains many other Access Control systems and looks forward to building a relationship with your company and helping with your Access Control and CCTV needs.
