Access Control

Access control systems are becoming more and more common in nearly all commercial buildings. Photuris has over 20 years experience with a wide variety of equipment manufacturers and can carefully select the most appropriate equipment to handle your access control needs.

System Design

Having effective access control systems in place is one of the most reliable ways to protect your business, property, and company information. Photuris can design and install an access control solution that allows people get to where they are needed at the right times, while also preventing unauthorised access to restricted areas.

Our access control door entry, barrier and gate solutions are designed for a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from small businesses that require complete plug-and-play systems, to extremely demanding, complex environments requiring seamless and effective 3rd-party integrations.

We are resourced to carry out national site surveys, plan and prepare concepts and system designs to the latest standards along with cost plans and quotations for the most complex of integrated systems.

Video Intercoms

The ideal partner for a fully integrated access control solution is a reliable and efficient intercom system. At Photuris, we offer a range of intercom equipment from leading manufacturers such as 2N, Axis, Videx, and Paxton, among others. Our team will assess your specific needs and select the most appropriate intercom solution to seamlessly integrate with your existing access control system. This ensures a smooth, unified security solution that enhances both functionality and ease of use.

We also recognise that in many cases, it may not be feasible to have separate desk phones or handsets for intercom systems, especially in environments where a large number of people need to be contacted or when desk and wall space is at a premium. In such situations, Photuris can provide a solution that is both space-saving and efficient.

Our team is fully equipped to integrate intercom systems with your existing VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or analogue phone systems. This integration allows your intercom to dial numbers on your internal phone system, leveraging your existing infrastructure and phones. As a result, you can receive intercom calls directly through your existing desk phones, mobile handsets, or even softphones, reducing the need for additional equipment and simplifying the system setup.

This approach not only streamlines communication across your site but also improves flexibility, allowing staff to manage access control and communication from a single device. Whether you need to contact a specific individual, team, or department, the integration ensures that your intercom system is always accessible and responsive, regardless of location or space limitations.

At Photuris, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored, integrated solutions that maximise convenience, enhance security, and make the most of your existing infrastructure. With our expertise, you can be confident that your intercom system will work seamlessly with your access control, providing a smooth and efficient operation that suits the needs of your business.

Integrations

Photuris provides multiple options when it comes to managing your access control system. Depending on your solution, we can provide either a software- or web-based management applications, which your team can use to easily manage your access system.
