    fire Llanwern Bowling Club Newport alarm Instantaneous report generation highly accurate attendance reports Access Control Wales fire roll call software safety-conscious employer Security office evacuationA fire was tackled at Llanwern Bowling Club in Newport. The alarm was raised at the club, which is situated in Ringland Way, on Monday (June 18, 2012) shortly after 20:15 BST. Four fire crews attended the incident, and the fire was extinguished well within three-quarters of an hour. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service reported that the single story building was “well alight”. The cause of the blaze is unknown.

    Instantaneous report generation of highly accurate attendance reports makes Access Control Wales’s fire roll call software the best in the industry, and is a must-have addition for any safety-conscious employer. Security products from Access Control Wales can be integrated with this software; and in an emergency situation that requires an office evacuation, your immediate fire roll call reports are generated containing the crucial information concerning who is on site. Unlike most other systems, this function is executed directly from the clocking stations and does not rely on the controlling PC or computer infrastructure.

    Wrexham CCTV Conwy Colwyn Bay Access Control Wales monitoring systems protect premises SiteSight fully integrated mobile remote video solution multiple sitesTraders in Wrexham say they are concerned the town’s CCTV control room could be moved, possibly to Conwy or Colwyn Bay. “There are many examples of why this system functions so well and we’d be strongly opposed to any plan to move the control room away from the town,” said David McCaroll, the chair of Wrexham Pubwatch and manager of the local Liquid nightclub. However council officials in charge of the matter say no decisions have yet been made.

    Access Control Wales can soon put up bespoke CCTV monitoring systems which protect traders’ premises. The SiteSight system is a fully integrated mobile remote video solution. It has been designed to be totally transportable and can be re-deployed as frequently as required on multiple sites. The system’s unique design allows it to be set up on site by one operator in areas without fixed wired communication or a permanent power source. Some of the features include: Live video/audio transmission and fully contained DVR.

    robbery Cwmbwrla Clase Mayhill prison Access Control Wales Visitor Management technology employees access privileges intruders controls records and monitors the arrivals and departures of organisation contractors A man who was involved in a robbery on a bookmakers in Cwmbwrla is back behind bars. Leon Passmore, who was living in Maytree Close, Clase, at the time of the robbery, was originally jailed along with Carlton Blackwell, of Emlyn Road, Mayhill, for the raid on the premises in the Swansea area more than four years ago. However Passmore went missing when he was let out of prison on licence, but was soon caught after a manhunt.

    Access Control Wales supplies Access Control and Visitor Management technology which is simple to use for employees who have access privileges while keeping out intruders. A Visitor Management System (VMS) controls, records and monitors the arrivals and departures of an organisation’s visitors and contractors. Network based advance booking and pre-booking of visitors/contractors plus instant scanning, storage and retrieval of crucial documentation are just some of the features of VMS. Reception is notified whenever a pass is swiped that is out-of-date or has other irregularities.

    Dyfed-Powys Police crime anti-social behaviour Access Control Wales powerful computer controlled security infrastructure Access Scanner configured in many different arrangementsA senior figure in Dyfed-Powys Police stated police could miss crime such as anti-social behaviour due to Westminster cuts. Chief Constable Ian Arundale said: “In these days of austerity, it’s quite often difficult to get all the right people together with resources to deal with some of these issues.” He added that much anti-social behaviour comes from people with health and social problems. Welsh forces received an average of 245 calls a day in 2011 about anti-social behaviour according to figures from BBC Wales.

    Access Control Wales supplies easy to use access control hardware as part of a powerful computer controlled security infrastructure. The T3510 Access Scanner can be configured in many different arrangements, controlling a smaller number of doors at first and then more at a later date as need and/or budget permits. As the security network grows and requires more control points, further T3510’s are installed, working side by side. This ‘building block’ approach is the most cost effective way to install Access Control.

  5. Smart card access network allows for swift exit in an evacuation

    fire Glandwr industrial estate Aberbeeg St Illtyd's Primary Access Control Wales network smart card reader door control entry and exit accurate Fire Roll Call register break glass unit emergency.A fire at Glandwr industrial estate near Aberbeeg which began early on Tuesday morning closed a school, St Illtyd’s Primary in Llanhilleth. Ritchie O’Connell of South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: “The local primary school has been closed by the Blaenau Gwent emergency planning officer. The fire’s under control now, it’s not going to escalate at all. We will be on scene for, I anticipate, another five or six hours.”

    Under an Access Control Wales network a single smart card reader can be used to gain entry to a door and a push button is used to exit. The T3511 Low Cost 1 Scanner Controller can be used with two Smart Card readers to control entry and exit. This gives better management control as the T3511 can differentiate which reader was used so you know who is left in the building. This is essential for producing an accurate Fire Roll Call register. A break glass unit unlocks the door, from the inside, in an emergency.

    Swansea City Waste Disposal Environment Agency Fire Roll Call Software Access Control Wales security products safety of employees emergency smart card key fob warning systemSwansea City Waste Disposal said it had made improvements and planned to do more at a landfill site that was criticised by inspectors. After visiting the Tir John site the Environment Agency Wales reported that it found rubbish over a gas pipe, which could have been ruptured by machinery. It said: “Had the placement of the wastes, which was placed using a large excavator, ruptured the gas main then this could in turn have caused a serious incident at the site (eg explosion/fire).”

    Access Control Wales’s security products have safety of employees and visitors in mind. The access control devices such as smart card stations can be integrated with fire roll call software that will automatically generate a report in the event of a fire or other emergency. Staff simply log themselves on and off site using either a smart card or key fob. In the event of an emergency, the fire roll call software annunciates the emergency whilst simultaneously activating your existing warning system.
