Security – Access Control

Automated gates, garage doors and access controls are important features of the automated Smart Home, where controls linked to the security and alarm systems provide additional convenience, safety and a warm welcome.

If installed as part of a fully functional access solution, users can instruct the gates and garage door to open via mobile phone or in-car ‘fob’, visitors can be viewed on screen prior to safe passage being granted and friends or family can be provided with access codes to ensure they are not kept waiting unnecessarily

Entry gates provide front-line security and privacy – the combination of a video entry system and sturdy metalwork is an excellent measure against unwanted visitors. However, Wills Brothers remains committed to aesthetic value and for this reason often elects to work with Sculpsteel, an established Yorkshire company offering creative metalwork design solutions.

Prospective Smart Home users have a variety of options at their disposal in terms of door access controls, from basic audio or coded systems to those using hi-tech biometric data (eg fingerprint or retina scan). By far the most common in modern day domestic settings is video entry and this will most likely suffice for the majority.

Again, feedback from these systems can be outputted via screens and speakers in your home, assuming of course that the appropriate automation programming has been performed. In fact, the very latest systems now integrate with CCTV in a manner allowing users to monitor and control access rights via internetconnected PC and hand-held devices!
