For more than ten years, the door entry product company Videx Security has had a close working relationship with Kier Sheffield LLP, who with Sheffield Homes, have secured a two-year contract to secure multiple occupancy dwellings across the city with door entry and access control equipment.
The specification for the door entry equipment and access control installed and supplied by Videx has evolved through the working relations between all parties. The systems specified cover high, medium and low risk installations. Low rise audio door entry with fob access will be installed at more than 400 sites around the city. All tenant access control equipment will be linked via GSM telephones to Sheffield homes or offices who will administer the issuing and updating of tenants’ proximity fobs. All door entry has been designed to meet DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) facilities which includes large, high contrast two-line, 16 character LCD displays, full voice annunciation of call progress, high visibility call buttons, an amplifier for the hard of hearing and a proximity fob access control reader. Access control and GSM modules are housed in IP rated lockable cabinets and full line isolation protects the system in the event of tenant abuse or telephone failure. A BST/GMT time clock operates the main doors of buildings for tradespeople during set hours of the day with different operational time profiles for weekends. Videx adds that it offers full product support including the provision of spare parts for up to 15 years and on-site training for Kier Sheffield installation engineers.
