New year relaunch from NACD
» VISITOR DOOR ENTRY AND ACCESS control specialist NACD has announced a New Year relaunch of four of its security products after joining Secured by Design ( SBD ). The products have achieved rigorous security standards set by the Building Research Establishment ’ s Loss Prevention Certification Board ( LPCB ), which certifies security products that meet its high standards .
The Hertfordshire-based business provides visitor door entry , access control and CCTV solutions for residential , commercial and local government developments by working closely with developers , building contractors , construction companies , housing associations , as well as electrical , security and building services consultants .
NACD has delivered its bespoke design , installation and maintenance services on projects both large and small including social housing , private sale residential projects , schools , office blocks and industrial estates in London , the South East and around the UK .
NACD Managing Director Richard Collis , said : “ This is a very exciting step forward for our business at the start of a New Year which we all hope will be a landmark year for business growth in the UK following Brexit and the continuing challenges posed by the pandemic . Our new association with Secured by Design is so important and will help us present our new security credentials , especially our achievement of attaining UK Police Preferred Specification , to our existing and new customers across the UK .”
SBD supports a network of Designing Out Crime Officers who work with architects , developers , constructors and local authority planners ; seeking to ensure that security-related products , such as doors , windows , locks , access systems and CCTV , meet Police Preferred Specification standards . SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK .
Four of NACD ’ s products are listed on the SBD website for being recognised by the Police Service in the UK for having achieved Police Preferred Specification – meaning they have been proven to be sufficiently robust to resist opportunist attempts at forced entry , and to deter and reduce crime :
• IPGUARD PRO 4G / IP smart visitor door entry panel
• IPGUARD MINI 4G / IP smart visitor door entry panel
• NPH300 visitor door entry panel calling video monitor
• EVE 196-X3 access control door controller
Both IPGUARD 4G Smart visitor door entry panels enable residents to use devices chosen by themselves , such as mobiles , smart phones , iPads and tablets to receive calls from visitors at the building entrance doors and authorise access . The IPGUARD APP is available for free download to any iOS and Android device . The system seamlessly integrates with the company ’ s BATICONNECT Cloud management system www . baticonnect . com to provide free real-time 24 / 7 / 365 remote management and programming thereby avoiding the need for site visits to add or delete proximity keyfobs , radio transmitters , and enables immediate action to deal with security issues that may arise .
The NPH300 visitor video monitor door entry system is the solution when video monitors are required . It also provides visitor call-logging via BATICONNECT Cloud meaning a full audit trail showing day , date , time and duration of all visitor calls to residents including door open authorisations to trace abuses of the system .
The EVE 196-X3 access control door controller is for a single door and is also part of the BATICONNECT Cloud system . Whether access is via a proximity keyfob or radio transmitter , everything is fully logged , and this data is available to those authorised at all times in real-time .
NACD is now looking to open the door to other installers and distributors so that they too can reap the benefits from utilising these great systems . The IPGUARD MINI & EVE196-X3 are being provided by IP Door Entry Ltd . For more information on IP Door Entry ’ s product range visit their website www . ipdoorentry . co . uk
Each of NACD SBD listed products has attained the LPCB ’ s Loss Prevention Standards ( LPS ) 1175 Issue 7 Security Rating 2 specification to resist forced entry using bodily physical force and a range of hand tools , including some that make noise .
In addition , they have each achieved LPS 2081 Issue 1 SRB requirements to resist intruders attempting to use stealth to gain entry using a selection of tools that can be used noiselessly and be easily concealed . All these products were tested and certified with door products provided by another SBD member company – Premier Security and Fire Consultants , of Ilford , Essex .
