ACT access control solution protects Redland Green School 
(08/05/2008)
ADI-GARDINER, along with Bristol based Security Solutions Direct, has supplied the Redland Green School with a comprehensive access control solution to protect the new £36million site.
The ACTpro 3000 system from ACT was specifically chosen to provide a secure environment for the brand new school – a stimulating learning environment for over 900 pupils, with dedicated facilities for 50 students with learning difficulties. The system was originally chosen to monitor access to key entrances but, following meetings with the Bristol Education Authority, the system was expanded to accommodate over 120 doors – many of them classrooms housing computer suites, technology centres and extensive libraries.
The ACTpro 3000 is an advanced system controller with built-in TCP/IP connectivity. It is easily scalable and can be networked to accommodate 30,000 users. Advantages of the system include reduced cabling, the flexibility to incorporate the school’s existing ID cards, and seamless integration with the student database to reduce the need for staff entry.
Duncan Wilmot, of Security Solutions Direct, comments: “We regularly buy ACT access control products from ADI-GARDINER, as they have excellent supporting software, a good range of accessories and are competitively priced. Unlike other distributors, ADI-GARDINER has expertise available at a local level through its Bristol branch, which allows us to discuss and identify the most appropriate solution to meet end user requirements.”
Paul Shellard, from ADI-GARDINER’s Bristol branch, comments: “We recommended the ACTpro 3000 access control system for the project because, in our experience, the product is ideal for use in the education sector. Its flexibility and flash upgradeable firmware will ensure an effective system is in place for years to come.”
