Project Overview:
The Department of Home Affairs facility in Victoria required a robust Video Intercom System to enhance security and access control at the entrance gate. Australian Security was tasked with installing a specialized Video Intercom System that would allow personnel within the facility to screen visitors and grant access remotely via the intercom system.
Challenges:
Secure Access Control: The Department of Home Affairs facility required a secure access control solution to regulate entry and exit at the entrance gate whilst maintaining a high level of security, adhering to government approved hardware.
Remote Screening: Personnel within the facility needed the ability to visually screen visitors and communicate with them remotely via the Video Intercom System before granting access.
Integration: The Video Intercom System needed to be integrated with existing security infrastructure, network and multiple internal monitors located within the facility.
Reliability: Given the critical nature of the facility’s operations, the Video Intercom System needed to be highly reliable and capable of operating effectively in various weather conditions. The only option would be for underground cabling between the location of the external door station at the gate and internal monitor locations.
