Access Control is the function of controlling personnel or vehicles within a space.  These systems take advantage of several types of technologies that allow access into restricted areas. From, mature industry standards such as proximity card readers, keypads or scramble pads to today’s “state of the art”, smart cards or biometrics technologies, TM has the engineered solution for any application.

Biometrics Technology takes advantage of Hand Geometry, Fingerprint Identification and Iris or Facial Recognition.  Today, these highly sophisticated systems are incredibly fast and proven to be remarkably accurate.  TM utilizes biometrics when an increased level of security is required or when overcoming limitations of proximity cards.

Alarm Monitoring is used to supervise virtually any alarm point.  From the typical intrusion or perimeter detection to performing “watchdog” functions for computer systems, industrial gauges or building boiler system our monitoring solutions can be done on-site or off-site.

The AC/AM system can be a basic, stand-alone system or a complex networked based system that can encompass numerous locations with multiple workstations and redundant host configuration. 

AC/AM Integration

TM Technologies systems are engineered with open platform protocol that allow for true integration with other building systems.  Our ability to provide seamless integration becomes critical in crisis situations.  For example, a critical panic button activated may automatically display a camera on the alarm monitor at the control center, send out email alarm notification, transmit a pre-recorded message over the PA system, recall elevators and automatically contact a remote central station.

The AC/AM system is capable of integrating into multiple software platforms.  Companies enjoy the inherent streamlined benefits of integrating their Access Control System with Human Resource Software.  Via up-to-the-minute real time transfer of data between the systems, companies can minimize the risk associated with unauthorized access by an employee who has been terminated.

Article Tracking

Article tags may be placed on a variety of items in order to track their whereabouts and limit their removal.  Advanced system features will permit the owner of the laptop to remove it from a protected area, but will activate an alarm sequence if an unauthorized person attempts to remove the same laptop.  This same technology can also be utilized for inventory management or assisting with locating critical equipment or machinery in times of crises.

Audio Video

Generally speaking AV systems is term given to the equipment that provides for Audio Sound and Video Images via a programmable and in a controlled environment such as: Board Rooms, Demonstration Rooms, Auditoriums and Houses of Worship.   
Today, AV systems are now converging with IT product to offer and additional enhancements and expansion possibilities. 

CCTV

Field Devices

In general, CCTV cameras are either standard Analog Cameras or IP Cameras (Network Cameras).  Presently, Pan, Tilt & Zoom (PTZ) Cameras, Fixed Cameras, Covert Cameras, and Low Light Cameras are all industry staples.
If not specified, we analyze system requirements and long-term goals, as well as review the existing network infrastructure prior to putting forth our proposed solution. 

Head End

Analog cameras are recorded onto Digital Video Recorders (DVR) that may reside on existing client networks or on a dedicated security network.  IP cameras have the advantage of being able to be recorded onto a Network DVR’s or onto a clients’ standard hardware via the installation of recording software.  Video Matrix Switches are used to allow numerous cameras to be displayed on any monitor.  These monitors range from a 9” to complete Video Walls.

Remote Video Services

More and more clients wish to eliminate the cost of purchasing or the inherent expense with managing video recording equipment.  For those clients, TM provides this recording equipment off-site at a secure facility and offers our enhanced Video Archiving service.  After an incident occurs, the client notifies us with the specific time, date and location and we quickly provide them with all the practical video clips.

Video Verification is used to remotely monitor strategically positioned cameras after an alarm condition occurs. We offer this service as an effort to determine the cause of the alarm condition and how two properly respond. 

In order to enhance functionality and increase efficiency, a CCTV system must be integrated into with other building systems.  Multiple studies have proved that operators are unable to effectively view numerous cameras on multiple monitors for long periods of time.  CCTV integration creates a more manageable CCTV monitoring center.  Ultimately, the guard operators are much more effective, because they will only be focused on the alarm generated images.  As an example, if a perimeter door is forced open the associated video camera will automatically pan, tilt and zoom in on the door and this image will be displayed on the alarm call-up monitor.  Concurrently, a hands-free communications line will be opened with the intercom at the door and an email can be sent to a roaming officer who can view this video on a wireless PDA.

Elevator Control

Elevator control refers to the calling and controlling of elevators. Card Readers mounted at the elevator lobby allow for the calling of the elevator to that location.  Card Reader mounted in the elevator cabs are used for actual floor control buttons.
Programming can allow only specific card holder access to specific floors.  Furthermore, programming can allow for certain personnel to “commandeer” certain elevator cabs.  These enhanced feature sets are used for VIP’s or for specific emergency security applications where a car must be cleared and time is of the essence.

Elevator Integration

All aspects of the elevator control must be integrated into the elevator controls.  This involves working in concert with the elevator contractor to ensure the equipment is installed properly in the cabs and that all wiring is terminated correctly.  Once programmed, the system requires full testing with both parties to ensure that elevators are fully functioning.

Guard Booths

Guard Booths are manufactured in many different sizes and architecture designs and can virtually blend into any setting.  Typically, these prefabricated structures come with standard features and have practical options for heat, AC, built-in workstation and restrooms.

ID Badging

ID Badging is the process of creating unique Photo Identification Badges.  The typical ID badging system consists of a workstation, camera, badging printer, lights, back drop, and tripod.  Photo ID Badges can be designed to show a clear picture of the person, their name, department, status and other customized fields.  This information is then printed on either, PVC cards, proximity cards or smart cards. 

Consumables such as cards, printer supplies and badge holders can be purchased directly from us through our customer section on the home page.

ID Badging Integration

If the ID Badging System is not a stand alone system, it’s advantageous to have it integrated with the access control data base in order to avoid a duplication of efforts.

Intrusion Detection

Intrusion detection is the act of detecting intruders and is accomplished with several types of alarm technologies.  TM strives to detect intruders before they are in the protected area and offer several layers of protection in order to accomplish this.  These devices consist of glass breaks, vibration sensors, door position switches, motion detectors and microwave detection.

Intrusion Detection System Integration

Intrusion Detection Systems (Burglar Alarms) are stand-alone system and should be monitored by a UL Listed central station.  The Central Station will provide 24/7 monitoring of the system and follow strict response instructions in the event of an occurrence.  

If the building or office has an access control system in place, TM suggests the integration of them via software connection.  This integration will allow for all alarm points to be monitored and controlled through a more powerful and user friendly environment.

Intercoms

Intercoms can be strictly audio or a combination of audio & video (AV) intercoms.  Typically consisting of door stations and master stations, these intercoms come in color or black & white and offer pan tilt zoom functions.

Public Address

The public address system can be a stand alone system where announcements can be made on-site or via remote connectivity.  Integration into the building security system allows for automatic emergency instructions in case of security event.

Perimeter Protection

Perimeter Protection provides for fence or wall protection through the use of microwave sensors, Taut Wire and CCTV.  In order to provide complete perimeter protection, TM Technologies suggest the use of multiple layers of technologies working in unison.

Turnstiles

Turnstiles are used to control access from one area to another in high traffic areas or high security areas.  They are typically controlled with an access control device and can be provided in many different finishes.

Visitor Management

Visitor Management system are used to log and track visitors.  When integrated with an Access Control System a visitors’ access can be controlled and reported.  Visitor Management Systems usually consist of software, workstation, camera, label printer and license scanner.

Vehicle Gates & Bollards

Hydraulic Bollards and Barrier Arm Gates are used to physically control vehicular access to specific areas.  Hydraulic Bollards are increasingly being deployed at the more secure facilities as they provide the ability to stop large trucks at accelerated speeds.  The less secure Barrier Arm Gates work well to keep the general public out of less critical restricted areas.

X-ray, Metal & Explosive Detectors

These Detectors are used in extremely high security areas and a normally at entry points for personnel or packages.
