The London based development is split into 11 apartment blocks - Anika House and Jasleen Court - and fitted with Videx’s flagship VX2200 door entry system along with Videx MiAccess access control and hands-free video monitors. Installer Dave Abrams, who owns DA & Son, was asked to recommend a suitable entry system that not only provided first-rate security but was also easy for residents to use and convenient too. As well as meeting residents’ needs, the system also had to meet specific regulations, including Secured by Design (SBD), a police initiative for designing out crime to improve the safety and security of where people live. SBD’s product-based accreditation scheme - the Police Preferred Specification - provides a recognised standard for all security products that can deter and reduce crime. The Videx VX2200 system is one product that has SBD accreditation. The VX2200 panel is also fitted with Videx’s standalone offline proximity system, MiAccess which enables the use of remote management of the access control system including adding and removing access key fobs, for example, if a fob stops working, needs replacing or a new user needs to be added, a visit to the development isn’t needed. Dave Abrams said: “I recommended the Videx VX2200 as I have installed the system several times before and it’s a great kit for secure and convenient door entry. “Being SBD accredited also means that it’s a system that actively deters and reduces anti-social crime such as vandalism. “Videx has a long-standing reputation of providing first-class products with lifelong support. I know if there’s an issue with the system, it will be quickly and easily resolved through the Videx tech team. The post-installation customer support is second to none.” The VX2200 is a preferred choice for a wide range of residential developments across the UK including social housing because of its ease of use and maximum-security benefits it provides. It can cater for a wide range of buildings from 1-way systems to much larger systems that include up to 1,000 apartments making its flexibility a very attractive choice for secure and convenient entry on a large range of projects.
