Smart Security & Access Control for Heritage Buildings
Preserving the Past while Securing the Future
Heritage buildings are irreplaceable treasures, each with a story etched into their walls. But integrating modern security and access control into these architectural masterpieces is no simple task.
Traditional access control systems demand extensive hardwiring, often requiring invasive structural modifications such as ducting, wall chasing, and even drilling through historic doors.
These outdated methods compromise not only the building’s original character but also risk damage to its character.
Preserving history while implementing modern security requires a more thoughtful approach.
A Seamless, Non-Intrusive Solution
Heritage buildings require security that is as sophisticated as it is subtle. The access control system must provide robust security and compliance while remaining nearly invisible, blending effortlessly into its surroundings. It must uphold the building’s authenticity while ensuring full compliance to emergency escape regulations, such as EN179. Striking this balance demands a solution that is discreet, wireless, and elegant.
The Smart Choice: Wireless Access Control
