Chubb's electronic access control solutions are integrated, flexible and intelligent. We provide advice and support at every stage of the process, from design, installation to ongoing maintenance. When integrated with physical access control methods such as barriers, gates, and doors, electronic access control systems provide secure risk minimisation solutions and generate useful data to drive business intelligence and insights. Chubb's electronic access control systems include everything from simple proximity cards and coded entry to facial recognition software and biometrics.

Reader and credential technologies

• Proximity ID cards presented to a card reader or, with longer range ID cards, recognised in your pocket or bag; smartphones using Near Field Communication (NFC)
• Proximity with verification: an additional pin or biometric fingerprint scanning provides an additional layer of protection; three-factor authentication using proximity ID cards, pin codes and biometrics such as fingerprints, irises or faces
• Biometrics: fingerprints, hand or face geometry and retinal eye scans; biometric access control cannot be stolen; facial recognition for clocking in and out

Mobile credentials

Smartphone and tablet access control options giving cost-effective, convenient, flexible systems. Chubb utilise sophisticated, encrypted data technologies to ensure the system is protected from external digital threats. Mobile credentials allow you to manage access remotely and check CCTV, alarms and more from your own device anywhere in the world, exceptionally useful for multi-site management.

Hosted and managed access control

• Hosted access control systems store data externally from your premises, safely housed by a dedicated server off-site, making it far easier to manage your security across multiple sites and systems from a single device or location; systems are continuously updated with safety features and can be monitored 24/7 from our Alarm Receiving Centres
• Managed access control solutions for premises nationwide, from small shops to apartment complexes and multi-site facilities, integrating with all safety and security measures at your premises

Physical access and door entry

• Physical access controls such as barriers, door and gate entry systems, most effective when used in conjunction with card access, biometrics, entry codes and mobile credentialing
• Audio video door entry systems allowing staff to authenticate the identity of persons looking to enter the premises through visual or voice confirmation, from a single door to multiple systems on one site or multiple sites, with access granted locally, through central management, or remotely through a mobile app

Visitor management (SISYS)

SISYS, a division of Chubb Systems, has a history of working with the military, defence industry, and government organisations, with over 30 years of experience and more than 250 installations across the UK and Europe.

• Integrated visitor management system including a secure Intranet Visit Notification System (IVNS), visitor control stations and permanent pass stations
• Site Access Management System (SAMS): stores and monitors all visitors entering and exiting your site on a secure database, including images of every person who has visited your premises; designed with the requirements of the UK government in mind
• Visitor Express: pre-book visitors, send automated email reminders, store visitor information including images, and issue passes to visitors and staff
• In-house development team for bespoke visitor management software

ADACS and secure networks

• Chubb ADACS software collects data from multiple channels to provide security insights, including sophisticated access control functions (see Critical National Infrastructure Security)
• Secure networks: network security audits, and system upgrades for the switch from analogue PSTN to digital IP technology; customers are advised to upgrade both their panel and signalling device to gain from the enriched benefits of transferring to all IP and remote services
