CCTV & Door Entry

Dome CCTV camera

CCTV is in the middle of a revolution at the moment and as a provider of high-end systems, we are fully aware of the plethora of products that make every aspect of this sector extremely interesting to you as end users and to us as installers.

Advances in technology have really made their mark in the CCTV world. Five Star have been involved with Digital recording of CCTV images from 1996 when Geutebruck first introduced the MultiScope I recorder. Today, modern PC technology has made the slow bulky tapes and VCR’s redundant and replaced them with products that use cutting edge Image Processing, Storage and Communications. Together, they provide systems that allow you to RECORD images many times the quality of standard VCR’s, at many more frames per second and for longer, PLAYBACK any camera at any time with smart search for time and dates or movement within a recording and ARCHIVE the image to long term storage ALL AT THE SAME TIME. With telemetry control for fully functional domes, you can even control the cameras from your office even though the camera may be on the other side of the world!

Door Entry

Door entry panel and phoneAudio and video door entry systems are a simple way of identifying visitors before allowing access to site. They can be incorporated with other means of entry for authorised persons i.e. digital, swipe-card or proximity fob systems

Audio door entry systems operate via a speech panel at the point of entry linked to 1 or more telephone handsets within the premises, allowing the occupants to satisfactorily identify the visitor before allowing entry. Entry is allowed by releasing the door locking device from a button on the telephone handset.

Panels can be supplied in a number of variations i.e. internal or external quality – flush or surface fitted – single or multi buttoned – weatherproof and/or vandal resistant – various finish options.

Door entry keypadVideo door entry systems are similar in operation to an Audio system other than they also have a camera built into the entry panel and a monitor built into the internal handset module allowing the occupants of the premises to see as well hold a conversation with any visitor prior to allowing entry
Digital keypads are operated by entering a preset security code number supplied to authorised personnel, once the correct code number is entered the door will release to allow entry. In the event of the security code number being compromised the entry code can easily be reprogrammed to a new number

Card-swipe systems offer all the facilities of a digital keypad but with the advantage that in the event of the need to prevent entry of individual card holders for whatever reason cards can be deleted from the system without the need to notify other users of a security code change. These changes can be made from a hand held programmer at the point of entry or from a linked computer central programmer. Deleted cards are re-usable.

Door entry panelProximity fob systems operate in an almost identical way to card-swipe systems, the main difference being that fobs are offered up to a reader rather than swiped through a reader. In general use fobs are much less likely to suffer damage than cards, the downside being that the cost of individual fobs is about three times the cost of individual cards. Deleted fobs are re-usable.

Do away with the need to hand out keys to employees for building entry, restrict access to sensitive areas to authorised personnel only, even restrict time frame for access of support staff i.e. cleaners. Consult audit trail of users entry/exit times in event of security breach, even link information to payroll production
