The end of traditional lock and key management 

With Paxton access control solutions, the need for analogue locks and multiple keys for a property’s security is a thing of the past. Paxton solutions allow you to control the access of all of the properties across your portfolio from a single dedicated server or PC. 

Scalability from single doors to multi-site campuses 

Access control solutions like Paxton Net2 can be customised to fit small to medium businesses easily, and are able to scale as a business grows. Paxton Net2 is capable of managing up to 1,000 doors and 50,000 access users. 

Seamless integration with fire and CCTV systems

Access control solutions from Paxton can be fully integrated with existing fire and CCTV systems on-site. This enables you to have a door security system that automatically releases all fire doors as soon as a fire alarm is triggered, and allows for a security system that automatically provides a video clip of the area where an unauthorised access alarm has been triggered.

Our Paxton access control solutions 

At Brunel Security, we are experts at providing and installing the following Paxton access control solutions.

Paxton Net2: The industry-standard networked system 

The most popular access control solution in the range, the Paxton Net2 allows you to manage all of your security doors from a centralised server, PC or the Paxton Connect app.

It is best suited to growing businesses, and uses RFID Cards, Fobs, and PINs as access keys.

Paxton10: Unified access control and video management 

Paxton 10 uses a web-based server to host its software, removing the need for a central PC. This allows for the software to be managed from any location through a browser or mobile device.

It is specifically employed to combine access control solutions and CCTV footage. This allows you to link video footage directly to access events. It also supports Bluetooth credentials that allow users to open doors with their phone or smart watch.

PaxLock: Wireless smart door handles for easy retrofitting 

A battery powered door handle that replaces the existing mechanical one, PaxLock can be integrated into a Paxton system to manage access, or can be used as a standalone unit that is controlled via a master card.

It removes the need for running cables throughout a building due to its wireless capabilities, making it ideal for historical buildings and schools.

Paxton Entry: Secure video and audio visitor management

An access control solution that allows you to identify visitors before providing them with access, Paxton Entry consists of an internal monitor, external panel, and a controller.

It can be integrated with other Paxton access control solutions or used as a standalone intercom, there are options to control it via touchscreen controls or a dedicated handset.

As well as installation, we also provide ongoing Paxton access control maintenance.

Sector-specific Paxton applications 

Due to its wireless capabilities and ease of use, Paxton access control is suitable for a number of different sectors.

Education: Protecting students and staff 

In an emergency situation within an education environment, time is of the essence. Paxton access control solutions provide a lockdown feature that allows all doors in the building to be instantly locked. They also allow for selective access that disables all student and visitor fobs, but still enables access for emergency services or senior staff.

Healthcare and residential care settings 

As well as building security to ensure that only authorised personnel can access the property, Paxton access controls can secure medicine cupboards and treatment rooms through the use of wireless smart handles. These can also be used to enforce GDPR compliance by restricting access to admin offices and server rooms.

Paxton access security solutions can also be integrated with nurse call systems if required.

Industrial, logistics, and heritage sites

For the industrial sector access control solutions from Paxton can be applied to dangerous machinery, to ensure that it is not misused. A reader can be placed directly onto a machine, and will only allow for the power to be turned on when a valid fob is presented.

In logistics and warehousing, Paxton access can be implemented to help the supply chain run smoothly through the use of hands-free readers. This enables warehouse doors to open automatically whenever an authorised vehicle such as a delivery van or forklift truck approaches.

Paxton’s discreet access control readers are ideal for use in heritage sites. This is because they can be finished in colours that blend in, or even mounted behind wood or stone within a property. This allows heritage sites to stay secure while still providing an authentic look and feel that is not jeopardised by unseemly security measures.
