Your local locksmith connects the modern world of access control technology with the critical need for traditional physical security. Electronic card key systems and surveillance play an important part of your perimeter control, but if physical entry is easy to achieve even with these systems, your risk mitigation is limited.

Types of Access Control Systems

Surveillance Systems

Combined with our access control systems, surveillance systems provide additional documentation of everyone who has gained access and when. If you have an existing CCTV camera system with cabling we can upgrade it to a digital DVR-based recording and playback system. If you are starting from scratch let us suggest an easily installed and extended network-based IP camera system that uses an existing or independent digital network.

Wireless Surveillance Systems

Many of the access control and surveillance systems that we install are also available in wireless versions which are quick to install and don’t require the wiring that traditional systems need. These are especially useful for those renting a home or apartment and companies leasing short-term office, warehouse or manufacturing space. Wireless systems can operate over your existing WiFi network or, for additional security, we can provide encrypted WiFi access points or ZigBee systems and use a separate network unaffected by your IT systems and employee access.
