What is a Video Door Entry System?

A video door entry system has an added video camera element that allows you to visually confirm the entrant. With video door entry, you can use digital video or CCTV to monitor the physical characteristics of the would-be entrant before unlocking the door with a remote lock-release. They are typically paired with phone or intercom systems so that an entrant can be further vetted by audio if needed. Video door entry systems are excellent ways of remotely vetting security doors that might have unexpected or unverified visitors.

Random Stop and Search

No matter how sophisticated a door entry system, sometimes security presence and physical searching is unavoidable. Random stop and search person selectors are ideal for when you need to search people before entering or exiting premises. Whether you are concerned with personnel bringing contraband items into a restricted area or leaving with company property, it is sometimes impractical and often aggravating to search everyone coming or going. A random stop and search person selector can be set to only alert at pre-selected intervals, ensuring that there is no discrimination in the searching process.
