Integrated Security: Access Control with CCTV, Alarms & Perimeter Systems
Modern commercial security works best when your systems communicate seamlessly as a single, unified ecosystem. Rather than managing disconnected silos, integrating your access control with wider site infrastructure creates total operational visibility and faster emergency response times.
At Brunel Security, we connect your access control directly with high-definition commercial CCTV installation, intruder alarms, automated gate/barrier systems, and retractable bollards. When an unauthorised access attempt occurs, your system can automatically trigger nearby CCTV cameras to focus on the door, log high-resolution footage, alert your monitoring centre, and sound a localised alarm.
By choosing us as your security provider, you can get a fully integrated, future-proof security network designed, installed, and maintained by a fully accredited team.
Upgrading Your Existing Access Control System?
If your business relies on an outdated, legacy access control system, you are probably dealing with frequent hardware failures or high ongoing key management costs. Scrapping physical keys or obsolete fobs in favour of modern credentials, such as encrypted smart cards or mobile access significantly reduces security costs while closing critical security gaps.
There isn’t always a need to replace your existing security infrastructure when upgrading. We’ll assess your current setup in our site survey to identify existing components that can be safely retained. Our NSI Gold-accredited engineers can often preserve functioning door locks, cabling, and power supplies, integrating them with modern, cloud-based controllers and intuitive management platforms.
We provide a clear upgrade pathway designed around your operational schedule. By transitioning entry points systematically, we ensure minimal disruption to your daily operations while delivering enhanced audit trails, remote administration, and instant credential revocation.

Our Process for Installing Access Control Systems
We design and install access control systems tailored to your business. Our structured process ensures quality, compliance, and minimal disruption at every stage.
1. We Come to You
We start our approach with a free site visit. Our specialist will assess your property, talk through your security priorities, and identify any risks or compliance concerns.
2. A Solution is Designed
Using everything we’ve learned, we’ll design a custom access control system using reliable, up-to-date technology. We’ll share our proposals with you, explain every feature, and show how we can integrate new tools with your existing security setup.
3. We Install the Agreed Solution
Once you’re happy with the design, our experienced engineers will handle the installation with minimal disruption. We’ll install and test all equipment, set up the software, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
We’ll also train your team and offer ongoing maintenance so your system stays secure and efficient long after installation.
Ongoing Maintenance Contracts
We believe great security doesn’t stop at installation. That’s why we offer ongoing maintenance contracts to keep your access control systems secure, compliant, and performing at their best.
We offer a range of aftercare services, including:
- 24/7 Technical Support
Get help whenever you need it with round-the-clock technical assistance, repairs, and diagnostics.

The Importance of Frequent Maintenance
Access control systems are only as strong as their upkeep. Regular inspections and health checks keep your security reliable, compliant, and fully operational.
Our experienced engineers at Brunel Security can provide scheduled maintenance to prevent breakdowns and strengthen your overall protection. Without regular maintenance, faults can develop and compromise your building’s security.

Fire Safety & Life Safety Systems
Commercial access control systems should undergo professional preventative maintenance at least once per year. For high-traffic commercial premises, multi-tenant sites, or facilities with integrated fire escape compliance, bi-annual (six-monthly) servicing is recommended.
Regular servicing ensures uninterrupted site access, prevents costly lockouts or security breaches, and maintains compliance with NSI standards and UK fire safety regulations.
Yes, commercial access control systems do not operate in a legal or technical vacuum. To protect your business from liability, insurance disputes, and safety breaches, any access control installation must comply with specific UK technical standards, fire safety legislation, and data protection laws.
