A school or college reception area provides access to the public and is, therefore, a potential security vulnerability. 1st Choice intercom/door entry systems allows reception staff to control who gains access to the school premises.
Schools and education establishments have to tread a fine line between public access and entry control. 1st Choice engineers design high quality security systems that are tailored to their operating environment. Our door entry systems look good and provide a user friendly interface with visitors. The aim is always to provide an effective mode of communication allowing staff to ascertain the identity of visitors.
The most effective security systems are those which are bespoke to the environment in which they’ll be operating. That’s why 1st Choice engineers always visit a site and talk to the people who’ll be impacted by the technology. Knowing how a reception operates, what times are the busiest, and what the specific risks are, allows us to design a security system that’s highly effective.
