Automated Access control & CCTV design for a global financial services company

QCIC was contracted to security design this project to meet the automated access control design and monitoring security standards of our client, a global financial services company. This project included management support for all professional teams supporting the security installation and the provision of consultancy and direction to the stakeholders.

After reviewing the existing drawings and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the operations of the business model occupying the space, we presented our recommendations.

We were responsible for designing the security access control and VSS around the requirement, producing a design pack consisting of a scoping document, bill of materials and Drawings that enabled the client to invite tenders for the work. We supported this stage by reviewing the tender returns, ensuring that any substituted equipment was equal to or more than our recommended specification.

The next phase of the project required QCIC to configure and programme the system to the headend server, using predetermined naming conventions, events and permissions.

After the appointed local vendor completed the on-site installation, QCIC then remotely tested and commissioned the access control and VSS with the vendor, checking cameras’ field of views and verifying that NVRs were configured with the correct event, frames per second and retention periods. This ensured that when the site went live, all permitted personnel could access the client’s space with all access-controlled doors functioning.
