Access Control

2012-01-12T01:46:00.000-08:00

For many years we have installed access control systems to stop the general public wandering into properties where they are not welcome for many reasons.

They could be local government buildings. schools, nurseries or factories.

All these places have reasons for securing their buildings.

It could be anything from keeping data secure or just keeping your child safe.

We have been working with Children 1^st Breedon House for approximately three years now and as they have expanded we have contiued to provided our services. Initially we were asked to replace some expensive unreliable biometric readers with more conventional equipment.

We reverted all of their old systems over to Net2 access control systems and started to install new systems at their newly acquired properties.

They currently have 15 sites throughout the east midlands and we hope to continue to provide our services for many years to come.

The systems we provide for schools are to control the access in and around the school at certain times during the academic day.

Local government departments utilize access control to restrict access in certain areas where sensitive information is kept, the systems we install can have many different security levels to meet all requirements.

Access control can be fitted to all types of doors and gates, whether it’s a turnstyle, lifting barrier, sliding or standard twin gates.

We always enjoy a challenge.

A Job Too Big for BT But Not for Us..............Wireless Security Systems

2011-11-14T11:42:00.000-08:00

We at Crown, design bespoke closed circuit television systems and for the last four/five years have been installing wireless systems in all different settings.

We have just been awarded our latest contract to install additional cameras and a wireless network at a Quarry near Newark Notts. This system had been designed to be remotely monitored by a central station using the broadband internet.

The client came back to us after having been advised by BT that they were too far from the exchange to receive a quality service and the mobile signal around the site was weak.

We took it on ourselves to purchase a radio modem and a high gain antenna along with a pay as you go sim.

We arrived on site and carried out some tests we found that by siting the antenna at a height in excess of 6.0M we could receive a broad band signal from T mobile at 80% strength.

Armed with this information we reported back to the client and have set up a contract for them specifically a broadband only contract.

A happy client and another service Crown Surveillance can offer.

Quarries and Security

2011-09-07T03:06:00.000-07:00

Thequarry industry has employed the use of closed circuit television systems forover 30years.

Backthen the main issue was cutting costs by installing cameras to survey conveyorjunctions and crusher hoppers. These areas were constantly patrolled checkingthat the plant was working and the material flowing.

Quarriesbeing noisy, dusty and dangerous places, for someone to be walking aroundchecking the process was expensive and potentially fatal.

Closedcircuit television systems started to become an essential and are now designedinto new plants from the start.

Linepowered cameras are easily installed and provide high resolution images inrestricted areas.

Overtime security has become an issue with the rising prices for scrap metals and inparticular copper. The theft of armoured copper cables providing power toremote machinery is now the target; we have systems that combat this problem.

Weuse wireless technology to eliminate the requirement for cabling and transmitvideo up to 5 miles where it is processed and transmitted of site to a cctvmonitoring station.

Thesesystems have proved outstanding and successful prosecutions have been the result.

We take School/Education security seriously.

Schoolsand Education.

Formany years we have looked after schools, colleges and even student residences.

Todo this work our engineers have to have health and safety qualifications, andmore importantly CRB checks.

Manyof the schools have closed circuit television systems in operation and more andmore are including access control on buildings and electronically operatedgates.

Thismakes for a safe environment for the students and staff to work in.

Small Supermarket Stores.

2011-08-26T03:35:00.000-07:00

The high street is full of small businesses who complain that the large chain stores such as ASDA, Tesco, etc are wrecking their environments and taking away their community spirit.

We have been carrying out work for a family operated company who are fighting back. At the moment they have two super markets and are now looking for a third.

After consultation with them to determine their exact surveillance/security needs, we have been able to provide our services, which has given them the ability to remotely watch the stores even when they're away.

They now have the access to view from home on a lap top computer or on their mobile phones. Hopefully providing them with peace of mind and assisting them with pushing their business even further forward.

Busy bringing hotel security up to date..........That's us!

2011-08-18T05:35:00.000-07:00

For the last few weeks we have been bringing the security up to date at Khana Enterprises three hotels.

These are;

1. Hilton hotel at Kenilworth

2. The Best Western hotel The Linton Lodge Hotel in Oxford

3. The Best Western hotel The Westminster Hotel in Nottingham.

The Linton lodge has been a new installation of static cameras for the car park and key areas for both safety and security.

At the Westminster Hotel we have modernized an existing system originally installed by us in the mid 90’s.

The Hilton hotel was installed about 3 years ago and as such needed a service.

It is important to keep any system serviced and well maintained so that you can retrieve good clear video footage when required.

All of these systems can be accessed by the general manager via broadband onto his computer and more conveniently on his Iphone and Blackberry.

Head for heights!

You need a good head for heights in our industry.

Installing additional cameras for the crowd control and safety CCTV system for this years international cricket at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground - no easy task.
