Access Control
Cloud Based Access Control
Cloud-managed access control with remote access, mobile entry, and no onsite servers.
Lifetime guarantee on the hardware – Cloud based so only Opex annual costs.
Open Architecture - Leverages existing hardware and enables full system interoperability.
Scalable Infrastructure - Scales from a single door to thousands across enterprise environments.
Auto Failover - Built-in redundancy ensures continuous operation and data protection.
Product Overview
Cloud based access control is a modern security solution that enables organisations to manage and monitor building entry points through a secure online platform. Instead of relying on traditional on-site servers or locally hosted software, the system operates through cloud infrastructure, allowing administrators to control access from anywhere using a web browser or mobile device.
This approach improves flexibility, scalability, and operational efficiency for businesses managing single or multi-site environments. It allows access permissions, user credentials, and door activity to be updated in real time, ensuring that security systems remain responsive, centralised, and easy to manage across multiple locations.
System Overview
The system works by connecting IP-enabled cameras or existing CCTV infrastructure directly to a cloud-based management platform. Once connected, video data is securely transmitted over the internet where it is encrypted, stored, and organised for easy retrieval. Users can then access footage through a secure web portal or mobile application, enabling real-time monitoring and playback functionality without the need for local storage hardware.
In addition to core recording capabilities, modern cloud surveillance systems often include advanced features such as motion detection alerts, AI-based analytics, and intelligent video search tools. These features help users quickly identify relevant events, reduce time spent reviewing footage, and improve the overall efficiency of security operations. Systems can also be configured for continuous recording, scheduled recording, or event-triggered recording depending on operational requirements and available bandwidth.The system operates using cloud-connected readers, controllers, and smart hubs that communicate directly with a secure hosted platform. When a user presents valid credentials such as a mobile device, card, or digital key, the request is processed instantly through the cloud and access is either granted or denied based on predefined permissions. This removes the need for physical servers on site while maintaining full control and visibility.
Connectivity is supported through multiple technologies including cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, ensuring reliable communication between devices and the cloud platform. The system can also integrate with wider building technologies such as CCTV, visitor management systems, alarms, and automation platforms, creating a unified security ecosystem that enhances overall site management and response capability.
Software
The cloud based software provides a central management platform where administrators can control users, doors, schedules, and access levels across one or multiple sites. Through a secure login, authorised personnel can manage permissions in real time, issue or revoke access instantly, and monitor activity logs as events occur. This reduces administrative workload while improving security oversight.
Advanced software features include reporting dashboards, audit trails, automated alerts, and integration capabilities with third-party systems. The platform is designed to scale easily, allowing organisations to expand from a single access point to large multi-site deployments without requiring significant infrastructure changes. Regular updates are delivered through the cloud, ensuring the system remains secure, up to date, and aligned with evolving security requirements.
