Simec door interlock resolves tailgating problems at data centre

Simec Security commission door interlocking as part of a major security upgrade at a Hertfordshire data centre.

The client was keen to monitor the movement of contractors, to ensure that they sign in to Security Operations and receive induction before entering the secure areas of the site.  Locking systems were introduced to external and internal doors with the interlock designed to prevent both doors being open at the same time. Local alarm sounders activate if either doors are left open or forced.

As part of the CCTV upgrade, Panasonic Super Dynamic WV-CW964 cameras have been installed externally providing views of the entire site perimeter controlled via a Panasonic WV-CU650 desktop joystick and keyboard.

A rack mounted Panasonic Real Time Digital recorder provides a high quality image archive.
