WLS are experts at installing and sustaining the latest access control technologies including market-leading systems from both Paxton Access and Honeywell Security UK; we have accredited installers for Honeywell Prowatch and Paxton access control systems.

We have worked with all sizes of clients and on all types of jobs from installing and maintaining single control point solutions through to multi-entry role-based site access control technology linked to a central monitoring station at big hospitals, hotels and commercial sites. We have even linked gate access control systems for organisations spanning different continents, feeding back to a central control location.

No matter the size of the challenge, WLS can help.

There are three main keyless entry technologies available:

• RFID (radio frequency identification) operating proximity door locks, through the use of a proximity card reader with proximity key fobs and key cards
• Biometric access control systems using fingerprint or retina readers
• Access control card readers, using smart cards or swipe cards

Each system is unique to the premises at which it’s installed. WLS works carefully with each client to install an access security system tailored to their specific needs, including standard gate control or complete turnstile systems, ideal for office receptions. We have designed and installed hotel, school and office systems; see our access control case studies for more information. As with all our security options, we offer attractive leasing finance.

While the concept is simple and access control systems have been around for some time, the technology hasn’t stood still (in fact far from it). We have been working at the forefront of access control technology for more than 20 years, and West London Security systems are more efficient and adaptable than ever.

We work with industry-leaders Honeywell Security UK for whom we are one of their top-ranked Prowatch dealers, and Paxton Access, a leading manufacturer of electronic access control systems. We are also an NSI (National Security Inspectorate) Gold approved installer, meaning you can be assured of the very highest standards and professionalism. Couple all of this with guarantee your security needs are in safe hands.

When fitting out premises with several controlled gates or doors it is usual to link them to a PC-controlled system. Intuitive and sophisticated software links the card-issuing system with a personnel database. This allows security staff to issue fobs or cards, linking them with personnel and other information and defining personalised or role-based access levels.

Time and attendance packages can be added to the basic system to allow effective and efficient access control management. Cards can also include photo ID using fast ‘magicard’ printers, with the computer linked to a webcam and instant card printing to speed up security clearance for new starters. Our team will discuss the right options with you for your organisation when we meet.

Networked access control systems provide affordable and expandable access control solutions for schools, businesses and more. They also offer a multitude of administrative benefits, including time and attendance software, fire roll call reports, security lock down and anti-pass back. You can integrate a networked access control system with other systems such as your fire alarm or intruder alarm and expand it as your business grows. Add new users, new doors and even new buildings as and when required, simply, with a push of a button.

Integrating access control with CCTV has many benefits. Firstly, when someone unlocks a door the system can alert a pan tilt zoom (PTZ) camera. The camera can then point at the specific door and start recording. It can also alert a camera to start recording at a higher frame rate when the door opens. With most systems, you can access CCTV footage via the access control software. You can also receive email and text alerts when a person opens or unlocks a door, or leaves it open.
