GWENT HOSPITAL, UK

After a vigorous selection process, a GuardPoint Pro system was installed over 5 sites of the Gwent Healthcare Trust. With many integrations including CCTV, fire, intrusion and live linking with the existing HR database. Smart cards have been issued on the site and are being utilised for not only the access control, but also cashless vending, PC-log on as well as storing biometric data. Using IC2000 & IC4000 controllers, the final switch-over phase from the old system saw over 400 readers go live. The system offers a future-proof solution for the trust, as the site aims to continually expand by adding new locations and continues to grow successfully.

HEALTHCARE CENTRE, DUBAI

With our wealth of experience and proven extensive product range, Sensor Access was approached regarding a requirement of access control for a new healthcare centre in Dubai. Sensor Access were selected at the end of the tendering process to be the product to control this busy and demanding site. GuardPoint Pro along with a range of IC2000 & IC4000 controllers were installed to create a system controlling over 30 doors. The ‘Badge Production’ module has been used to print all staff IDs on site as well as Sensor’s bio readers for the highest security areas in the centre.

CIRCLE HEALTH, UK

Circle is co-founded, co-run and co-owned by clinicians. Because the consultants and healthcare professionals who work for Circle own the facilities they work in, they are empowered to put patients first in everything that they do. The main 40 doors of the system are controlled by a GuardPoint Pro system and intelligent door controllers – ensuring both patient and staff safety. It was important to have full control of all internal doors, and therefore 27 wireless cylinder locks were installed. These are all managed from GuardPoint Pro and offer the client a more cost efficient option where lower security functions were required.

Churchward School

The whole building has been created with flexibility in mind and can adapt to the ever-changing and diverse range of student’s needs to ensure that they have every opportunity to take the next steps in their lives -whatever they may be. A new building was constructed in 2020 upgrading the security system to meet the demands of a modern school became part of the project. GuardPoint10 system was installed with a range of Sensor Access’s intelligent IC controllers and Mifare proximity readers. GuardPoint10 was installed running an SQL server and was linked with the schools current HR database to populate GuardPoint10 automatically.

New Siblands Primary School

Carrefour – France

Carrefour is a multinational retail corporation in France. It is one of the largest supermarket chains in the world, operating a variety of grocery stores, hypermarkets, and convenience stores. The client wished to manage their operation from one platform with live reporting across the organisation. Flexibility and accessibility were key to this project. Multi Site – management of the organisation from one central point. Site has 30,000 users, 300+controllers, 235 Global Reflexes – this is cause and effect to allow simultaneous actions to trigger.

Innoland One Montage – The Philippines

Installation Partner: Infinite Systems Technology Corporation, The Philippines. One Montage is a Grade A building located in Cebu City, Philippines. Security and energy efficiency is of primary importance at One Montage. This is the reason why they wanted to equip the building with high security turnstiles to secure the entry and exit points to valid building tenants only. Having around 29 floors of leasable space for both commercial and retail clients, the management of thousands of users in the building is not an easy task. Security and Access Control is well taken care of with the Sensor Access GuardPoint10 system in place andGP10-LM-M module (Mitsubishi Software Integration)together with Sensor Access IC2001 (2 door, 4 reader)and IC4001 (4 door, 4 reader) IC controllers located in various locations in the building. One Montage was one of the first buildings in Cebu to have their security turnstiles fully integrated with Mitsubishi DOAS Lift system. Assigned lifts are displayed on the Mitsubishi provided LCD displays which is mounted on top of the turnstiles.

PRIME TOWERS, DUBAI (UAE)

This prestigious project is located in a prime location at the heart of business bay in Dubai, utilising many integrations within GuardPoint Pro including CCTV Integration and OPC server interface for automatic database population from existing HR Database. This site is also using ‘Badge Production’ and the ‘Alarm Control’ modules to provide a simple and user-friendly powerful front end in one software. Sensor Access secured S-Class smart readers which are used throughout the building as well as a long range version for the car park, providing a complete future-proof solution.

SOVEREIGN HOUSE, UK

This system was installed over the client’s existing TCP-IP network which minimised overall installation costs and decorative disruption for the building. A 50-door GuardPoint Pro system was installed on site using the stylish SF-range Prox & Pin readers as well as long range readers for the car park. The car park is also being managed by GuardPoint Pro’s ‘Parking Control’ module which records cars seen entering and exiting the site as well as limiting entrants relative to the number of spaces available. Sovereign House also utilises the ‘Visitor’ and ‘Badge Production’ modules within GPP, as well as the ‘Lift Control’ module for managing the lifts in the building. The site uses many actions and processes within GuardPoint Pro which automates many functions including automatically printing a roll call report. This provides a simple and user-friendly powerful front end in one software.

NATPET, SAUDI ARABIA

Established in 1990, NATPET is one of Saudi Arabia’s leading petrochemical manufacturers producing over 800,000 tonnes of Propylene and Polypropylene per year. NATPET is a widespread and exposed site with over 4km of perimeter to protect and therefore the security risks to this site are very high and a combination of technologies were required to secure it. Utilising Sensor’s IC1604 input/output boards, a system was developed to monitor alarm inputs. GuardPoint Pro was used as an integration platform with the Pelco CCTV system. Commands were sent from GuardPoint Pro to either trigger a live camera or take a dome to a preset. By deploying a second communication bus on all controllers, this provided a communication redundancy option ensuring the highest level of security.

SPORTS HUB, SINGAPORE

A new prestigious 55,000 capacity national stadium – with a retractable roof and comfort cooling for spectators – will be the largest free spanning structure in the world. With it being such an important site, security was at the forefront of requirements from a panel of consultants. With a tough specification, Sensor Access were able to comply with a system made up of over 400 IC500IP controllers running on PoE, biometric readers as well as 400 Sensor format Prox and Pin readers. GuardPoint Pro runs full redundancy with web interface, SQL database, OPC server, GuardTour, CCTV integration, badge production, multiple workstations and over 20 alarm controller boards monitoring additional doors and points within the building.

SAADIYAT ISLAND RESORT, ABU DHABI

With its 9km arc of pristine white sand, Saadiyat Beach is a much sought after location for leisure seekers and high-end real estate. With this new luxury resort, it was important to consider security a priority. A 45-door system was installed over the complex to limit access to each block and apartment. A GuardPoint Pro system was installed together with a number of IC500 controllers and Mifare readers. The IC500 was ideal for this application as controllers were installed locally at each block. The IP version was used on many of the sites, keeping the installation simple and cost effective. Mifare cards and readers were used to allow the site to maximise potential of smart cards for other applications.

NATIONAL THEATRE, BAHRAIN

The National Theatre of Bahrain includes a main 750-seat auditorium designed for drama, small symphonies and conferences. With such an iconic national building, it was important to ensure that security was covered. A GuardPoint Pro system securing the main doors within the building was installed. Using the ‘Alarm Control’ package has allowed for full visual control and monitoring of the system, which has worked great for this busy and dynamic site.
