What's included
Everything the job needs, from one firm.
Key fob & proximity entry
Standalone Paxton Compact readers give simple key fob access on a single door. No keys to copy, share or lose.
Multi-door systems
Networked access control across several doors, with users and permissions managed centrally. Built for offices, blocks and schools.
Paxton Net2
Paxton's advanced networked platform for larger and more complex requirements: many doors, many users, individual access permissions.
Hikvision video entry
Video verification and two-way communication at the door, depending on the system configuration. See and speak to visitors before letting them in.
Remote access via Hik-Connect
Hikvision systems connect to the Hik-Connect mobile app, so authorised users can receive video entry calls and manage access from a smartphone.
Users & permissions
Secure management of who opens which door and when. Credentials are added, changed or removed as people come and go.

Questions
Asked and answered.
What is access control and do I need it?
Access control replaces or supplements keys with fobs, codes or smart credentials, so you decide who opens which door and when. It suits homes, offices, shops, commercial premises, apartment buildings and schools. If keys are being shared, lost or copied, access control puts you back in charge: a lost fob is simply removed from the system.
What is the difference between Paxton Compact and Net2?
Paxton Compact is a standalone system for simple key fob access, typically on a single door. Paxton Net2 is a networked system designed for larger and more complex requirements: multiple doors, many users and individual access permissions managed from one place. The free quote visit establishes which fits your building.
Can I answer the door from my phone?
Yes. Hikvision video entry systems can connect to the Hik-Connect mobile app, so authorised users can receive video entry calls and manage access remotely from a smartphone, depending on the system configuration. Video verification and two-way communication let you see and speak to visitors before letting them in.
Can one system cover several doors and users?
Yes. We install multi-door access control systems with secure management of users and access permissions. Paxton Net2 is built for exactly this: each user carries their own credential and you control which doors it opens. One system can run a whole office, apartment building or site.
Which properties suit access control?
Homes, offices, shops, warehouses, commercial premises, apartment buildings, schools and other controlled-access environments. Every system is designed around the property, from one reader on one door to a networked system across a whole building, and every job starts with a free quote visit and a fixed written quote.
