Overhauling Access Control at Redbridge Council

Redbridge Council had been relying on an outdated and poorly maintained access control system, which regularly caused multiple issues. Fortunately, they were able to seek help from their security firm, which was already working in another department.

JanusC4 was the preferred solution for the project for many reasons, notably its centralised control of multiple sites and remote access capabilities.

The existing system was difficult to maintain and had high operational costs, which was a concern for the public authority, which always strives for cost reduction. JanusC4 was able to deliver more functionality and capability while also being more cost-effective.

Therefore, the decision to upgrade the building’s access control to JanusC4 was made.

To meet the project requirements, the change needed to happen quickly. JanusC4 was rapidly deployed. The installation company upgraded the controllers and readers, and thanks to JanusC4’s ability to manage multiple doors on a single controller, space was maximised in doing this.

All parts were quickly shipped from the Grosvenor Technology warehouse in Dorset, on the south coast of the UK, further enabling a speedy and efficient process.

The designated security team for Redbridge Council has access to the centralised control dashboard, which allows them to respond quickly to any issues or queries, reducing downtime, a significant benefit in a busy public building.
