Advanced Access Control and CCTV Integration to Secure Stock

Effective stock control and security measures are important to the success and sustainability of any organisation.

And recently, we were contacted by a new customer that recognised the critical need for advanced stock control measures. The customer sought a solution to monitor specific items through CCTV and access control while ensuring a secure and efficient tracking system.

The Challenge: Restricting access to stock

Our customer's primary challenges included the need for real-time monitoring of stock items, secure access control to restricted areas, and a seamless integration of security systems. Additionally, the customer wanted to enhance their fire safety protocols by automating door release mechanisms in case of emergencies.

The Solution: A Tailored Access Control System

To address the customer’s requirements comprehensively, we designed and implemented a tailored solution incorporating advanced access control and CCTV systems.

Access Control System:

  • We installed an access control system on the cage door, featuring a tag reader and magnetic locks. This system allowed only authorised personnel issued with a designated tag to access the restricted area containing specific stock items.
  • The access control system provides an event log detailing who accesses the area and when enhancing accountability and traceability.

CCTV Integration:

  • An IP CCTV camera was strategically placed and connected to the main CCTV system. This provided 24-hour monitoring, creating an additional layer of security for the stock control area.
  • The integration of the CCTV system serves as a deterrent to potential security threats and provides comprehensive surveillance and recording capabilities.

Fire Alarm Integration:

  • We also integrated the access control system with the fire alarm. Should a fire be detected, the system would automatically release the door locks, ensuring a swift and easy exit for anyone inside the restricted area.

By implementing a tailored solution that combined advanced access control, CCTV integration, and fire safety automation, we met and exceeded the customer's expectations, providing a comprehensive and future-proof solution for their business needs.
