Security
The Past
Building security used to be inherently tied to the building itself: security guards on patrol, manual sign-in processes, inflexible access policies, wall-to-wall CCTV monitors, banks of VCRs and cupboards full of video tapes.
The Future - Now
The IP convergence revolution has ripped up this antiquated analogue model; now you can have:
- IP-based cameras on the network, powered over Ethernet
- IP-monitoring via browsers, by anybody from anywhere
- Automated access control by time, location, profile, etc
- Alarm-based exception management and alerting
- Time and attendance reporting integrated with access control
- Advanced video analytics to identify instantly anomalous behaviour
- Proximity cards integrated with cashless vending and follow-me printing
Charterhouse partners with leading security manufacturers - such as Honeywell and Tyco - to deliver a complete portfolio, based around 3 core elements:
- IP CCTV: IP & analogue cameras, PC or PDA monitoring, and video analytics
- Access Control: gate and door opening/closing, visitor management, time and attendance monitoring and biometric/proximity readers
- Intruder Alarms: centralised monitoring and remote control via access system
Charterhouse's expertise means that we can build your security solution from ground-up with full structured cabling and network integration. We can further integrate the solution by integrating access control policies with network security and data access policies. We can even integrate building security with reprographics management by using the same proximity cards for both access control and follow-me printing. We'll help you decide how you want to manage your people and visitors - for all areas of building and technology access - then we'll develop a solution to make building security watertight.
