Common questions about professional access control systems and installation
UniFi Access offers a modern, cloud-managed system with exceptional mobile credentials, simple management, and seamless integration with UniFi networking equipment. It's perfect for businesses wanting modern, app-based access control with no licensing fees. Paxton provides traditional, reliable access control with extensive product options, video entry integration, and proven British engineering. Paxton suits businesses requiring conventional access control with robust reliability. We help you choose based on your specific security needs, existing infrastructure, and management preferences.
Yes, both UniFi Access and modern Paxton systems support mobile credentials using Bluetooth or NFC technology. Employees can use their smartphones to unlock doors, eliminating the need for physical cards. Mobile credentials offer enhanced security as they're harder to share or clone, can be instantly revoked remotely, and provide better user experience. Physical cards or PIN codes remain available as backup options.
Access control systems are highly scalable. Small systems might secure 1-4 doors, whilst enterprise systems can manage hundreds or thousands of doors across multiple buildings and locations. Both UniFi Access and Paxton systems scale easily by adding controllers as needed. During our consultation, we design systems that meet your current needs whilst allowing future expansion as your business grows.
Yes, modern access control systems integrate with CCTV, intruder alarms, and building management systems. Integration allows automated responses such as CCTV recording when doors open, alarm disarming with valid credentials, and unified security management. We assess your existing security infrastructure and design integrated solutions where all systems work together seamlessly, providing comprehensive security management from a single platform.
Professional access control systems include failsafe and failsecure options. Failsafe locks unlock during power loss (important for fire exits), whilst failsecure locks remain locked (for high-security areas). Controllers have battery backup maintaining operation during power cuts. Many systems can operate standalone during network outages, storing events locally and synchronizing when connectivity returns. We design systems with appropriate redundancy for your security requirements.
Access permissions can be modified instantly through the management software or mobile app. Adding new users takes minutes - simply create their account, assign access permissions, and issue credentials. When staff leave, access can be revoked immediately remotely, even if they're off-site. This eliminates security risks from unreturned keys or cards. Temporary access for visitors or contractors can be issued with automatic expiration dates.
Yes, when properly configured and managed, access control systems comply with GDPR. We implement appropriate data protection measures including encrypted storage, access logging, data retention policies, and user privacy controls. Access logs are maintained securely with appropriate retention periods. We provide guidance on GDPR compliance including privacy notices, data processing agreements, and subject access request procedures to ensure your access control system meets all legal requirements.
Access control costs vary depending on the number of doors, authentication methods, integration requirements, and system complexity. A basic single-door system starts around £800-£1,500, whilst multi-door systems for offices might range from £3,000-£10,000 depending on doors secured. Enterprise installations with dozens of doors can be £15,000+. We provide transparent, itemized quotations with no hidden costs, including hardware, installation, configuration, and training. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
Yes, modern access control systems support multi-site management. You can control access across multiple buildings or locations from a single management platform. This is particularly useful for businesses with multiple branches, offices, or facilities. Cloud-based systems like UniFi Access excel at multi-site management, whilst Paxton Net2 also offers comprehensive multi-site capabilities. Centralized management provides consistent security policies, simplified administration, and unified reporting across all locations.
Access control systems require minimal ongoing maintenance. Regular checks include testing electric locks, cleaning card readers, verifying battery backup, and updating firmware. We recommend annual maintenance visits to inspect hardware, test emergency procedures, clean equipment, and verify system performance. Controller batteries typically last 3-5 years before replacement. We offer maintenance contracts providing scheduled visits, priority support, and ensuring your system remains secure and operational.
