The landlords of the new St Botolphs Building in the City of London has specified an integrated security installation to combine CCTV and access control. Appointed by Skanska to provide this installation, independent electronic security specialist Quantum (UK) Ltd selected the SiPass integrated access control system from Security Products from Siemens as the basis of its design.
The SiPass integrated installation works in conjunction with a CCTV installation, also provided by Quantum (UK) Ltd, which is based on Siemens Sistore digital video recorders and unobtrusive Solaris dome cameras. The close integration between the access control and CCTV systems is used to enhance overall effectiveness of the security installation by, for example, arranging for the frame rate of video capture to be increased automatically in an area where an unauthorised access attempt is being made.
