Services
Access Control
Our access control solutions combine software and hardware to manage building entry with audit trails. We offer on-premise and cloud-based systems that integrate with video management platforms. Clients benefit from customizable scheduling, remote access management, and layered security protocols that adapt to evolving threats.
Asset Tracking
Using RFID and barcode technology, our asset tracking systems monitor equipment locations in real-time. Healthcare clients track medical devices while logistics companies manage vehicle fleets. Implementation reduces theft risks and streamlines inventory audits through automated reporting systems.
Intrusion Detection
We deploy fence-mounted sensors, ground-based detectors, and microwave radar systems for perimeter security. Solutions work standalone or integrate with access control systems, providing immediate alerts during breach attempts at commercial facilities.
Commercial Doors
Our division 8 services cover complete door assemblies including frames, glass, and locking mechanisms. By combining security systems with door installation, we eliminate coordination issues between multiple vendors during construction projects.
Preventative Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance visits maximize system uptime through equipment testing and component replacement. Programs range from annual inspections to on-demand services, with documented reports tracking system performance metrics over time.
