Upgrading security for a multi-business commercial site
A growing business park in Hampshire needed a more efficient way to control access and secure its premises overnight.
With no guards on site and several tenants sharing facilities, the management company wanted a system that could manage vehicle enrty, track access, and actively monitor the site after hours.
- Reduce the risk of break-ins, theft or unauthorised access
- Keep costs under control without hiring security guards
- Enable smooth entry and exit for approved staff and visitors
- Ensure incidents are recorded and responded to in real time
- Track who is on site at any given time
Once the objectives were clear, we arranged a detailed survey and security risk review.
Assessing the key threats to site security
One of our security systems site surveyors visited the site to identify security gaps.
The site has multiple access points, shared parking areas and no overnight security.
- Theft and trespass were key concerns outside working hours
- No means of logging or controlling who entered the site
- Gates were left open during the day and unsecured at night
- Poor visibility of who accessed each office unit
- No deterrent to stop unauthorised vehicles from entering the premises
We used these findings to build a solution focused on prevention, access control and incident response.
Our proposed approach to improving site security
The system needed to secure the site after hours while remaining easy to use for tenants.
We proposed an integrated solution combining monitored CCTV, gate automation and a user-friendly Paxton access system.
- CCTV cameras monitored off-site by trained operators
- High-performance cameras installed around key risk areas
- ANPR cameras linked to automated gate entry
- Key fob access control for staff and tenants
- Automated gates managed by a central access control system
This setup would help prevent incidents, log all activity, and manage access without manual oversight.
Total site security and peace of mind.
The solution: CCTV monitoring, ANPR cameras & access control
Our team installed a complete monitored CCTV and access control system, fully integrated for ease of use and ongoing protection.
- Remote CCTV monitoring & fast response to confirmed threats
- Licence plate recognition cameras to trigger gate entry for authorised vehicles
- Keypad access control installed across all entry points
- Gate automation linked to the ANPR and fob system
- Central CCTV feed linked to our monitoring station for overnight response
The system gives the site managers confidence that the business park is protected around the clock.
With full visibility of who enters and leaves, we designed a system to meet all security obkectives.
