Elevator Security Systems

Enhance security and protect data with elevator security systems from Advanced Control

Every business manager and property owner knows the importance of having a fully integrated security automation system in all their buildings. These systems may encompass elevator security, access control, video surveillance and more. Being able to monitor and access control of entire buildings is necessary to manage a business effectively. Losing important data and compromising your IT capability can cause lots of problems for you and your business. There is also the risk of employee tampering and theft when systems are not secured properly. Open protocols may benefit system integration, but this too poses another security risk. Advanced Control Corporation (ACC) is an industry leader with the knowledge and experience to assess the needs of your company when it comes to elevator security systems, access control and more.

Your business may require that specific areas be restricted by unauthorized personnel and visitors. A security system with elevator access control would prohibit unauthorized people from entering restricted floors. By utilizing elevator access control, people would use a card that allows them access to allowable areas only, and this helps to keep your facility secure. High-rise and multi-tenant structures should have a security automation system in lobbies and elevators to control and protect the inhabitants of the building. Elevator access control will also reduce the risk of criminal activity, damage to the structure, and control undesirable transient traffic. At Advanced Control, our elevator security system features include:

1. Floor access that can be controlled by the system administrator who regulates what floors a card holder is allowed on.
2. You can opt for a singular control operation or integrate it into the building’s automation system and video surveillance system.
3. Control elevator and floor access for the entire facility through a security system that allows for expansion and adaptation.

Advanced Control will analyze your existing structure and design and implement an access control elevator security system to best suit your business needs and requirements. If you are planning to erect a new structure, our team of experts can assist you in developing an intelligent elevator access control system plus much more.

Elevator security systems and access control systems allow you to permit or deny anyone the use of any particular resource on your business property. By utilizing access control technology you are able to efficiently streamline your business operation with a cost-effective solution. These technologies will safe-guard your physical, logistical and digital resources, and give you peace of mind knowing that your business is being adequately protected. Security automation systems also provide safety and comfort to all inhabitants within the structure. Advanced Control can also include closed-circuit television (CCTV) into your buildings security system. The intelligent technology of CCTV allows the transmission of video camera signals to reach specified monitors in a centralized location. Operator personnel will be able to monitor and record television images for an array of purposes, such as safety, surveillance and security issues. We are a leader of closed-circuit surveillance systems, and can offer you an extensive selection of security camera systems that serve your needs. CCTV is unlike broadcast television because signals are privately transmitted only to authorized monitors. CCTV technology can be used for personal, private or commercial purposes to improve the security of your facility.

Green Construction Technology for Your New Building

Decrease environmental impact with green construction technology in your new building

A move toward utilizing more sustainable green construction is becoming the prominent theme among many commercial and residential building owners who are either renovating their existing facility or building entirely new structures. Using green building materials helps to lower the adverse impact on our environment, while adding to the necessary preservation of diminishing nonrenewable resources. Green construction technology enhances your return on investment by generating an increase in the efficiency of energy, gas, electric and water usage. Other maximized benefits of using green building technology include: a minimized need for maintenance, less resource usage and waste, the enhanced health of occupants and a decrease in over-all operational and replacement costs throughout the lifetime of the structure. It is not difficult to assess the validity of potentially green building materials when you use the following criteria as a guide:

1. Responsible Sourcing and Resource Efficiency

All building materials should be researched before purchase to determine how they were manufactured or where they were sourced from. Green technology construction uses materials that contain recycled matter created from agricultural by-products or waste, that is a renewable resource and is considered environmentally sustainable. Green building materials used in South Florida should consist of at least one of the following sourced guidelines:

• Salvaged or Remanufactured – Materials salvaged from disposable waste that have been re-vitalized or restored to be used again.
• Durable or Low-Maintenance – Materials that require the least amount of care for preservation and have an innately extensive life.
• Recycled content – Post-consumer material (the preferred standard) that is collected from waste products or Pre-consumer recycled content that is comprised of industrial by-products that are being reused.
• Recyclable or Reusable – Any material that can be used again after their initial usage has ended.
• Sustainable sourcing – Any material that is gleaned from a renewable or sustainable source.

2. Water Efficiency

Green construction that contains a system of rainwater collection and the proper reuse of grey water will help to sustain the environment and also improve water efficiency and lower usage costs. Grey water that would normally pollute lakes, rivers or estuaries is redirected toward ground irrigation where it becomes valuable fertilizer for grasses, plants and trees. Rainwater harvesting systems distribute rainwater for multi-purpose usage and may also be stored for future use.

3. Safe Indoor Environments

The health and safety of indoor occupants is met when green building materials are used. Products that meet the green safety standards include:

• Hazardous-Free Ingredients – Building materials that are naturally sourced (wood, bamboo, cork etc.) or do not contain any toxic ingredients such as phthalates, vinyl, lead, phenol-formaldehyde etc. are considered green.
• Low Volatile Emissions – Use building materials that emit low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
• Moisture Resistance – Materials that resist moisture, inhibit mold build-up and that dry quickly should be used for green construction.
• Non-Toxic – Use building materials that are non-toxic or contain or a very small amount of toxins, irritants or carcinogens.

Green construction should incorporate a high-efficiency heating and cooling system and high performance windows, insulation and glazing that creates an air-tight healthy environment. Other green construction that is safe and cost effective includes energy storage systems, solar energy and building management systems. Building owners that opt for green construction will not only be advancing environmental sustainability but will also be creating a safe and efficient environment for all occupants while reducing operating costs.

Building Illumination Control System

Lower costs and increase security with a building illumination control system

Many property owners and managers are concerned with the toll their structure's extensive energy use is taking on the environment around them. Today, many businesses are implementing energy-efficient systems and tools to make their facilities use less energy, water, electric, gas, etc. One way business and property owners are achieving this is through building automation systems and building illumination control systems. On average, lighting fees represent almost 40 % of a commercial building's overall annual costs. By upgrading and improving the efficiency of a structure's lighting system, a substantial part of your energy efficiency plan has been taken care of. In addition to lowering your annual costs, when you have a building illumination control system properly installed, you can also see up to a 25 % reduction in energy usage.

At Advanced Control Corporation, we have successfully implemented countless building illumination control systems in businesses and structures throughout South Florida, helping to achieve lowered costs, increase energy-efficiency and improve the appeal and appearance of each facility. No matter the type of facility or its size, our skilled team representatives can help you customize and design an ideal lighting control system for your needs and budget. Our systems have a wide range of options from basic control systems which are managed through a building automation system to our fully automatic illumination control system that are comprised of each lighting circuit within your structure. Because of our customization capabilities and wide variety of systems, a building illumination control system can be implemented in both new construction projects and existing structures and lighting circuits.

For owners and managers who are seeking energy efficiency, lowered costs and an additional ways to protect property assets, a stand-alone lighting control system is an affordable physical security defense solution. As daylight begins to decrease, light levels sensors turn on lights, illuminating your specifically chosen areas in order to deter intruders or those with ill-intentions.  A combination of motion sensors and light level sensors help detect if an object or individual has entered a specific area, triggering lights immediately with the goal of chasing off uninvited guests. Because these stand-alone systems have a low installation price and minimal ongoing operational costs, it is a popular and effective loss prevention measure for owners and managers on a strict budget.

A variety of enhanced lighting control system options and fully automatic systems are available for larger commercial and industrial buildings. In addition, our Advanced Control team can implement an alarm notification service that will inform you immediately if any alarm condition via your building automation system has been triggered.
