Access Control & Relays
Design, install, and support of secure, reliable access systems—doors, gates, intercoms, relays and schedules— with clear auditing, integrations, and documentation your team can operate confidently.
Door Hardware & Panels
- Maglocks & electric strikes (fail-safe / fail-secure strategies)
- Door contacts, REX/RTE sensors, emergency break-glass units
- Controller & power design (PSU sizing, PoE, UPS, surge protection)
- Enclosure layout, labeling, and serviceable wiring standards
- Elevator control, turnstiles, vehicle gates & loop detectors
Credentials & Readers
- RFID cards/fobs, PIN keypads, mobile credentials (BLE/NFC)
- Biometrics (fingerprint/face) with privacy-aware policies
- Reader tech (Wiegand, OSDP/secure-channel) and wiring
- Anti-tamper, reader LED/buzzer feedback, accessibility modes
Schedules, Profiles & Governance
- Time profiles, holidays, first-person-in (FPI) logic
- Area/zone design, anti-passback, muster/roll-call
- Role-based access control (RBAC) and least-privilege
- Visitor & contractor workflows with expiries
Relays, I/O & Automations
- Event-driven relays (door held/forced, motion, alarms)
- Fire panel integration: release logic & failsafe egress
- Intercoms & SIP endpoints; door buzz-through policies
- Links to lighting, HVAC and building automations
Network & Remote Access
- VLAN segmentation for controllers/readers; QoS and IGMP
- Secure remote access via VPN; no exposed mgmt ports
- Certificate management, TLS where supported
- Monitoring, SNMP/health checks and alerting
Audit, Compliance & Retention
- Event logs (grant/deny, door status, operator actions)
- Reporting for HR/compliance (POPIA/GDPR-aware)
- Data retention & privacy zones; badge lifecycle
- Backups, restore drills, and change control
CCTV, Alarms & Cloud
- CCTV linkage: snapshots/bookmarks on access events
- Alarm panel inputs/outputs, strobe/siren logic
- Email/Teams notifications and webhooks
- Cloud, on-prem, or hybrid controller architectures
Process & Handover
- Discovery & risk assessment; door schedule mapping
- Clean installation, labeling, and commissioning tests
- Admin & operator training; quick-ref guides
- Runbooks, SOPs, and ongoing support options
Secure Access, Done Right
From a single door to multi-site deployments, I’ll design a robust access system with clear logic, clean installs, audited events, and integrations that make daily operations easier.
