These can be from single site to more complex and flexible networked systems allowing control and programming of sites and doors anywhere in the world using the internet or the clients own LAN and WAN. As well as the access Control software many systems will integrate with Intruder Alarms, CCTV, Building Management Systems and other inputs such as plant, flood Sensors and Fire Detection Systems. They can also incorporate other functions such as Anti Passback, ID Card Production, Roll Call (to assist in building evacuation), Guard Tours and Time and Attendance as well as being able to interface with Personnel and HR software to ensure continuity of records. Kingfisher Fire & Security have successfully installed such systems both in and outside the UK and are Certified Installers for the following systems:-
Software House – C.Cure 800, C.Cure 9000 & C.Cure Mobile, Paxton Access - Net2 Standard & Net2 Professional, CEM Systems – WebEntry2 Pro, AC2000 SE, AC2000AE & AC2000 Lite. Grosvenor Technology – Janus & Sateon Focus. Kantech – Entrapass Special Edition, Entrapass Corporate Edition & Entrapass Global Edition. PAC – iPac, Securenet & Easinet. ACT – ACTWin Lite, ACTWinpro & ACTSmart2. TDSI – Exgarde & Exgarde Pro. Cotag – Granta & Entro 6 and Impro – IXP220

There are several methods of granting Access through a door, turnstile, Barrier or anything you wish to control movement of people or vehicles through. However, whilst most manufacturers supply their own readers and reading technologies, unlike the Networked Access Control Door Controllers they are generally not unique, or only need a slight modification, to work with the various controllers or software using a common Wigand format. There are a number of different methods of granting access such as Proximity, Contactless, PIN, Swipe (although now rarely used in new installations) Electronic Key, Fob, RFID, ISOprox and different types of Biometrics.
Readers come in all shapes and sizes such as a small Mullion to larger and longer range or hidden Architectural readers and many others in between.
Probably the best known manufacturer of these devices are HID who make the Multiclass readers capable of reading HID Proximity, iClass, MIFARE CSN, DESfire, INDALA Prox, ISO 14443B and FeliCa allowing systems to incorporate multiple reading technologies within a single building or across multiple sites. They also manufacture the Crescendo, representing one of the highest levels of network security and whose smartcards can enable (PKI (public Key Infrastructure), SmartID, SmartTouch, Miniprox, Maxiprox, Proxpoint, Duoprox, Proxpro (with or without Keypad). In addition we can also provide the Paxton Access series of card readers – Proximity P38, P50, P75, Kantech ioProx, PAC Oneprox & Smart Readers & Smart Biometric, ACP Pro Mifare & TDSI DigiGarde & PanelGarde

All points of entry need to be secured either by internal mechanisms on Turnstiles, or Barriers for example or by the fitting of locks in the form of Latch releases, Electromagnetic devices, Shearlocks, Deadlocking Solenoidbolts and ShootBolts and selecting the right product is very important. Fortunately we have access to a large number of manufacturers such as Abloy, Trimec, ASSA, SSP, Dryad Deedlock, Alpro. Most of these locks incorporate door monitoring devices to sense if a door is forced, held open and even if the door is secure. This information is transmitted back to the door controller and from there a central or local alarm can be triggered. If exit from the secure area is to be by a non card means we can supply a range of different devices such as Proximity, Exit PIR’s, Stainless Steel, Heavy Duty, and DDA Compliant buttons. In the event of an emergency a simple emergency door release breakglass unit, similar in design to a Fire Alarm callpoint but in White or Green, is fitted to provide a failsafe method of exit. Again these can be monitored to alert the someone when they have been activated.
