Access Control

Q: What is an access control system?

An access control system manages and regulates who can enter a property, building, gate, or restricted area. This includes intercoms, proximity readers, vehicle detection devices, and other technology that help ensure only authorised individuals or vehicles can gain access.

Q: What type of access control system do I need for my site?

The right system depends on your security requirements, the level of traffic, and the type of entrance. GSM intercoms are ideal for remote access and locations without wired infrastructure, and proximity readers suit high-footfall areas with authorised users. Wireless vehicle detection systems are perfect for automated gate or barrier access.

Q: How do GSM intercoms work?

GSM intercoms use mobile networks to communicate with the property owner or site manager. When a visitor presses the call button, the intercom rings your mobile phone, allowing you to speak with them and remotely grant or deny access.

Q: Do I need Wi-Fi for a GSM intercom?

No. GSM intercoms operate via mobile networks (such as 4G), so no internet or Wi-Fi connection is required. This makes them ideal for remote or hard-to-wire locations.

Q: Can I install a video intercom on my existing gate system?

Yes. Most GSM video intercoms are designed to integrate with existing gate motors and access control hardware. They can be wall-mounted, gate-mounted, or installed on a post, depending on your entrance layout.

Q: Are wireless vehicle detection systems reliable?

Yes. Modern wireless sensors offer strong communication ranges, high sensitivity, and stable performance. As battery-powered units, they continue to operate during power cuts; just remember to replace the batteries periodically.

Q: Do I need groundworks to install a wireless vehicle detection system?

No. Unlike traditional inductive loops, wireless systems do not require digging or major installation work. They can be surface-mounted or flush-mounted, depending on the model.

Q: Can these systems be used in commercial or high-security environments?

Absolutely. Our GSM intercoms, proximity systems, and vehicle detection solutions are widely used in commercial sites, industrial facilities, gated developments, and other locations requiring enhanced security and controlled access.

Q: How weather-resistant are these access control products?

All systems in this range are designed with weatherproof housings to ensure reliable operation in all conditions, including rain, frost, and extreme temperatures.

Q: Do you offer technical support or installation guidance?

Yes. Our team is available to provide product recommendations, compatibility advice, and setup guidance. Simply call 01283 512 111 or email sales@firstfence.co.uk for assistance.

Our Access Control Solutions

GSM Video & Audio Intercom Systems

Our advanced GSM intercom systems allow property owners and site managers to communicate with visitors and grant access remotely via mobile networks. Ideal for locations where traditional wiring is difficult or costly, these intercoms provide strong signal performance, high-quality audio, and, where applicable, live video for visual verification.

We supply a wide range of industry-leading GSM systems, including:

Telguard GSM Intercoms: Robust, reliable units designed for driveways, commercial properties, and high-security environments. Models include ML Trio+, ML Duo+, ML4SO+, and ML4SO.

Videx GSM Intercoms: High-performance 4G-compatible systems with customisable features and integration options. Available units include the GSM4K-1S/BL/4G, GSM4KCR-1S/4GE/BL, GSM4KCR-1S/4GE-M, and GSM4K-1S/M/4G.

AES GSM Video Intercoms: Combining high-quality audio with live video verification, the AES OPYN-4G system offers enhanced security and convenience for gates and property entrances.

AES GSM Audio Intercoms: Options including the latest Prime Edge intercom available in two distinct styles, plus the ever-popular Lite GSM - offering entry-level access control to your mobile phone. AES audio systems are great for both residential and small commercial units.

These systems provide reliable communication and secure control over entry, reducing the need for onsite staff and improving overall site management.

Proximity-Based Access Control

Proximity access systems offer simple, hands-free entry using RFID fobs. This makes them ideal for apartments, business premises, and gated developments. Options such as the VIDEX 955/T and VIDEX MTPAD provide secure, controlled access for authorised users only, with compact designs suited to standalone or integrated installations.

Wireless Vehicle Detection Systems

Our wireless vehicle detection systems provide a modern alternative to traditional wired inductive loops. Quick to install and highly reliable, these battery-powered devices can be used as free-exit triggers or safety sensors for gates and barriers.

These systems come in both domestic and commercial models. They can be surface or flush-mounted. This makes it an efficient way to automate vehicle access, and you can do this without expensive groundworks.

Wired Vehicle Detection Systems

For maximum reliability, our wired vehicle detection systems provide a consistent, hard-wired connection that eliminates concerns over battery life or signal interference. These "gold standard" sensors are ideal for use as free-exit triggers or safety devices on high-traffic commercial and residential sites. Our range includes Procon induction loops and magnetic probes for in-ground detection, as well as Optex above-ground sensors and Feig radar scanners for easy retrofitting without the need for road excavations.
