Reliance Managed Access provides access control system without having to invest in servers, software or technical expertise
posted on 16/07/2010

Reliance High-Tech has launched a fully hosted and remotely managed access control service. Reliance Managed Access provides customers with all of the features and benefits of a high quality access control system without the requirement to invest in servers, software or technical expertise. Proven to be substantially more cost effective than paying for an access control solution up front and running it in-house, Reliance Managed Access Control can be used to secure just one building or multiple sites. Taking access control as a service eliminates the need for customers to invest in dedicated IT infrastructure and software upgrades, trained staff to manage the user database, access control software licences or photo badge printers, while offering all the increased security and flexibility associated with an electronic access control solution without the up front capital investment. Organisations can make significant savings by moving legacy access systems over to Reliance Managed Ac... [more]

posted on 15/07/2010

PAS 68 is a BSI classification for vehicle security barriers, and provides a comparative method of assessing the performance of any system designed to stop vehicles. J&S Franklins DefenCell Profile 300 has recently successfully completed a number of vehicle crash tests to meet the PAS68 protection standards. Profile 300 has expanded upon the initial products strengths and versatility to emerge as a perfect solution to offering inconspicuous protection of public buildings, perimeter security, and HVM protection. It is made from strong geotextile materials, which when layered in construction can be used to build barriers, berms or bunds. Due to the structure of Profile300, and its ease of installation, it is ideally suited for use in environmentally, and visually sensitive locations, where it can be easily grassed or planted, and quickly blends into the surroundings, whilst still providing a proven, superior, substantial protection from terrorist attack and environmental threats. ...

New FLIR D-Series outdoor dome Multi-Sensor thermal imaging cameras can seamlessly be integrated in new or existing TCP IP networks
posted on 13/07/2010

Thermal imaging cameras are becoming more and more popular for security and surveillance applications. Thermal imaging is the use of cameras constructed with specialty sensors that “see” thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible to the human eye because its wavelength is too long to be detected. It’s the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes can not. Thermal imaging cameras produce images of invisible infrared or “heat” radiation. Based on temperature differences between objects, thermal imaging produces a clear image. In contrast with other technologies, such as light amplification, thermal imaging needs no light whatsoever to produce an image on which the smallest of details can be seen. Thermal imaging provides full visibility irrespective of the prevailing light level and weather conditions. It can see in total darkness, in the darkest of nights, through fog, in the... [more]

Delta crash gates are available with 14 different decors
posted on 09/07/2010

Delta Scientific has announced that their crash gates withstand impacts as high as a 15,000 lb (66.7 kN) vehicle striking at 50 MPH (80 KPH) and suffer no significant damage - and they look good too. Now, architects and contractors can choose from sliding and swing crash-tested gates in 14 different decors – green landscaping, screen printed glass, steel screen, back-painted glass, laser cut steel in two versions, panelized colored acrylic, panelized stone, panelized concrete, cast stone, wood and stone, panelized wood and wood screen. “Many organizations are very concerned about the aesthetics of their landscaping and asked us to provide other looks beyond slats and bars,” reports David Dickinson, Delta Scientific senior vice president. “Now, safety engineers can meet their security and aesthetic requirements with gates that have been tested in the field and trials for more than 25 years. In addition to 14 different decors, Delta gates are available with a variety of options to suit ... [more]
