Edinburgh Cloud Based Security Install
Completion date: April 2024
HF divisions involved: Fire & Security
Project Description: A prominent (yet understandably private) business entity based in Edinburgh required a robust security solution to safeguard their premises, employees, and assets. They sought a comprehensive system that could seamlessly integrate access control, CCTV surveillance, and an intruder alarm system to ensure comprehensive protection against potential threats.
The client faced several challenges, including the need for a scalable and easily manageable security system that could adapt to their evolving needs. They required a solution that could provide real-time monitoring, remote access control, and seamless integration with their existing infrastructure.
Challenged to produce a tailor made solution that both fitted their needs for today but was also scalable for the companies future growth plans, we recommended that they embrace a cloud based security system.
With cloud based security systems, the business can benefit from AI-powered analytics and fully integrated technology to offer the client next level security technology.
Our Fire & Security team were tasked with fitting new Access Control Systems, CCTV and Intruder Alarm. The work included:
Access Control System
Utilising state-of-the-art IP/cloud-based technology, we deployed 2N access control devices renowned for their sleek design and advanced features. The access control system was seamlessly programmed via The My2N Management platform, providing the client with centralised control and management capabilities. Leveraging Bluetooth capabilities, the system enables secure and convenient access for authorised personnel.
- Integration with IP audio and telecommunications systems ensures seamless communication and coordination across the premises.
- Integration with Control 4 further enhances the system’s functionality, enabling the client to streamline operations and automate security processes.
CCTV System
We installed a range of CCTV camera across the site offering comprehensive monitoring of every access event, tracking its occurrence time and location, utilising robust, interoperable readers, cameras, and cloud-native software.
The CCTV cameras and related software oversee the entire system by linking video hardware with entry points. It allows the client to observe real-time access activity alongside live footage through integrated and customisable management dashboards, accessible from any device. This gives the on site security teams valuable operational insights through real-time reporting and custom AI-powered alerts and gives them visual verification of events on any device, from any location worldwide.
Intruder Alarm System
We implemented a hybrid intruder alarm panel that combined hardwired and radio devices to provide comprehensive coverage across the client’s premises. Multiple access points and keypads were strategically installed to ensure ease of use and accessibility for authorised personnel.
Leveraging the Eaton cloud management portal, we enabled remote monitoring, diagnostics, and servicing, empowering the client to maintain optimal security posture with minimal hassle.
The Benefits of Cloud Based Security Systems
- Enhanced Security: The integrated solution provided by HF significantly enhances the client’s security posture, mitigating the risk of unauthorised access and intrusions.
- Remote Accessibility: The cloud-based nature of the system enables the client to remotely monitor and manage their security infrastructure, providing peace of mind and operational flexibility.
- Scalability: The modular design of the solution allows for easy scalability, ensuring that the client’s security system could grow alongside their business.
- Streamlined Operations: Integration with existing systems and platforms streamlined operations and facilitated seamless communication, optimising efficiency and productivity.
We successfully addressed the client’s security needs by implementing a comprehensive solution that integrated access control, CCTV surveillance, and intruder alarm systems. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative features, we provided the client with a scalable, easily manageable, and highly effective security infrastructure tailored to their specific requirements.
