Why Choose Phantom Communications for Access Control & Door Entry Systems?
In today's fast-paced business world, simply locking your doors isn't enough. True security means intelligently managing who can go where and when within your premises. At Phantom Communications, we specialise in designing and installing smart, customised access control and door entry solutions for UK businesses like yours. We're here to help you upgrade security, streamline your operations, and gain complete satisfaction. The UK access control market itself is a testament to this need, valued at £1.98 billion in 2024 and projected to more than double to £4.10 billion by 2032, showing just how vital these systems have become.
Why Modern Access Control is Essential for Your Business
Investing in a strong access control system isn't just about new technology because it's a fundamental step in protecting your business from various threats and improving how you operate
Improve Overall Security & Deter Unauthorised Access
Let’s be honest, traditional keys can be lost, copied, or fall into the wrong hands. Modern access control goes far beyond this, actively preventing unauthorised entry and safeguarding your team, your valuable assets, and sensitive company information. A visible, modern entry system also acts as a significant deterrent, especially important when considering the 12% increase in non-residential burglaries seen in the UK in 2023.
Precise Control Over Who Enters, And When
Imagine being able to grant specific access rights to different people such as employees, contractors, or visitors and even limit that access to certain times of day or specific areas. With our systems, you can easily manage permissions and, crucially, instantly revoke access for former employees without the costly and time-consuming hassle of changing all your locks.
Full Audit Trails & Increased Accountability
Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to security. Our access control systems provide a detailed electronic log of who accessed which areas and at what times. This audit trail is invaluable for security reviews, incident investigations, and generally improving staff accountability.
Improve Staff Safety & Convenience
A secure environment is a productive one. By controlling who can enter sensitive or restricted areas, you increase the safety of your staff. Plus, keyless entry using fobs, cards, or codes offers a far more convenient way for authorised personnel to move around your premises.
Scalability & Future-Proofing Your Investment
Your business isn't static, and your security shouldn't be either. The access control systems we install are designed to be scalable, meaning they can easily be expanded or adapted as your business grows or your security needs evolve.
Streamline Visitor Management
Welcoming visitors shouldn't compromise your security. Our door entry and intercom systems allow you to efficiently manage visitor access, often with options to verify identity before granting entry, making the process smoother and more secure.
Our Full Range of Access Control & Door Entry Solutions
Phantom Communications offers a wide variety of access control technologies, ensuring we can find the perfect fit for your specific business requirements. It's no surprise that 78% of new smart building projects in the UK now include access control systems, they are becoming a standard feature.
Audio Door Entry Systems / Intercoms
A straightforward and highly effective solution, audio intercoms allow clear two-way voice communication. You can speak to visitors and verify their identity before granting access, ideal for main entrances or internal secure doorways.
Video Door Entry Systems / Video Intercoms
See who's at your door before you open it. Video entry systems provide an intensified level of security with live visual verification. We offer systems with colour displays, excellent low-light performance, and even recording capabilities.
Keypad Entry Systems
Simple and reliable, keypad systems grant access via a unique PIN code. These are a great option for areas regularly accessed by authorised personnel who can easily remember a code.
Proximity Card & Fob Access Systems
One of the most popular choices for businesses, users simply present a programmed card or fob to a reader. These credentials are easy to issue, manage, and quickly disable if lost or stolen, offering a significant upgrade on traditional keys.
Biometric Access Control Systems
For the ultimate in security and irrefutable identification, biometric systems use unique biological traits like fingerprints or facial recognition. It's telling that 35% of UK businesses were already using biometrics for access control in 2023, and 76% of key infrastructure and financial institutions have implemented them to combat serious threats.
Networked & Cloud-Based Access Control
Imagine managing access for your entire premises, or even multiple sites, from a central software platform or web interface. Networked and cloud-based systems offer this, along with remote management, real-time updates, and easier scalability, it's why 52% of new commercial buildings in the UK are equipped with IoT-enabled access control systems.
Integration with Other Security Systems
Your security systems work best when they work together. We can seamlessly link your access control with your intruder alarms, CCTV systems, and even HR platforms, creating a truly unified and more powerful security infrastructure.
