Introduction
Established in 1983, WLS are one of the UK's leading full service
providers of specialist high quality security solutions. Our
objective is to be recognised by our clients as the leading provider
of security systems within the domestic, commercial and public
sectors.
Access Control Systems: The company is an approved installer
of Northern ESG (Engineered Systems Group) products. WLS is one of
only a select few companies to be awarded this status. Access
control is the process of electronically controlling access through
doors and turnstiles. At its’ most basic, a normally locked door can
only be accessed by using a card or fob which has to be presented to
a local card reader.
Systems controlled from a central pc can operate over 1,000 doors
and can be linked to remote sites over WAN. Card readers include
swipe, proximity and smart systems in addition to the latest
biometric fingerprint and retina models. Systems can also be used to
operate a cashless environment.
Northern EGS software includes a photo id badging module, enabling
staff details and picture to be stored and printed onto the access
card. Links can be made with cctv equipment to capture images as
doors are accessed.
CCTV Systems: The increasing technological advances in cctv,
makes it ever more important to choose a company with up-to-date
product knowledge and in-depth installation experience. A cctv
system consists of one or more video cameras in a ‘closed circuit’
which is not intended for public broadcast, but for selected users.
WLS offers both traditional static cameras and the latest
joystick-controlled, high-speed dome cameras with 30x optical zoom
lenses and low-light capabilities. Linked to the latest generation
of digital multiplexer/hard disk recorders, these systems have the
ability to record at the rate of six frames per camera, per second.
They can store up to 6 months of video to hard disk, which is
available for instant recall with no degradation of image quality.
WLS has also installed Cisco radio networks in situations where
linking outlying buildings, up to 3 miles away, proved otherwise
impossible. Using IP cameras and multiplexers, the video signal can
be carried over the network at a rate of 11kb back to a central
control room.
Other possibilities include remote monitoring of sites from the
company’s central station. Any site fitted with cctv can be
monitored remotely. Electronic detectors are installed to monitor
the site. In the event of unauthorised activity, the central
monitoring station will be alerted to the situation and can observe
it via the cctv cameras, even talking to the intruders over an
optional public address system. This type of set up is increasingly
installed where the cost of manned guarding becomes prohibitive.
Door Entry Systems: WLS has installed door entry systems,
controlling access to over 300 flats, using porters switchboards,
digital dial entrance panels, and multiple entrances.
As an approved installer of BPT products, WLS are able to
incorporate the aesthetics, practicality and ease-of-use that BPT’s
products offer. Systems can be audio-only or an audio/video mix,
allowing sight of, and conversation with, a caller before allowing
admittance. Monitors are available in monochrome and colour formats.
The new Nova colour monitor has been particularly well received by
specifiers and end users alike.
The latest Targha panel is a sleek, contemporary panel available in
a range of colour options, enabling the panel to complement any
interior surrounding or architectural style.
Coded and proximity access control can be incorporated into panels
to provide an integrated entrance panel. BPT systems can also be
combined with access control systems, traffic barriers and cctv
systems to give an integrated site-security system, if required.
Local authority installations are a specialised sector of the door
entry market in which, WLS is a market leader. Systems tend to be
highly vandal resistant, extremely durable and are installed to
strict guidelines.
Fire Systems: Constant attention is required to minimise the
adverse impact of fire. Because of the speed and totality of the
destructive forces of fire, it constitutes one of the more serious
threats.
WLS has more than 12 years’ experience in the design, installation
and servicing of fire alarm systems and is an approved installer of
Ziton equipment. The company supplies and installs: heat and smoke
detection systems, flame detectors, smoke beams, air-sampling and
wire-free systems, automatic door and ventilation controls, and
audio and visual warning systems, in addition to remote monitoring
and fire brigade signalling systems. A full remote monitoring
service is available via WLS’s dedicated central station to ensure
instantaneous fire brigade response in the event of an activation.
WLS also offers a full maintenance and repair service for all types
of systems and complete quarterly servicing, to BS 5839:Part 1:2002,
on behalf of some of the UK’s largest landlords.
Gates/Moving Barriers: WLS is an approved FAAC installer with
experience in this field covering both the commercial and domestic
markets. A blue-chip client base includes Fidelity Investments,
Prudential and The Crown Estates.
Gate Automation: electrically operated mechanisms, including
remote control operation, automated operation that enables almost
all gates to be operated automatically. WLS has partnered with FAAC
who has established a worldwide reputation as a market leader in the
field of automatic gate, door, barrier, pedestrian control and
parking systems. FAAC gate automation equipment includes ram or
underground operators fitted to swing gates and rack or pinion
drives fitted for sliding gates.
Traffic barriers are available in a number of variants according to
the road width and the required traffic flow. Whether used in
airports, car parks or office buildings, traffic barriers prevent
vehicles from entering without proper authorisation, efficiently
managing entry without hampering busy traffic flow.
Rising kerb barriers are tough, reliable and uncompromising.
Hydraulically operated, the barriers provide an ideal solution
against unwanted vehicle access.
Most gates and barriers controls can be interfaced with traffic
lights to ensure safe passage during entrance and exit. For safety,
beam detectors can be installed across the entrance way or
underground induction loops which act as metal detectors, slot cut
into the roadway. Radio transmitters are usually supplied to operate
the system but door entry or access control systems may also be
connected.
Intruder Systems: WLS intruder systems are primarily designed
to detect any unauthorised presence in an area and raise an alarm.
An effective security system should be bespoke and designed
accordingly to reduce, if not eliminate, potential risks. WLS also
considers day-to-day business use of the premises or the occupant’s
lifestyle, so that the system remains first and foremost
cost-effective, yet user-friendly, simple and trouble free. Wired
systems are more commonly fitted, but radio-based systems can be
installed where cabling proves unsightly.
With continued pressure from police forces to reduce false-alarm
rates, WLS has put in place the necessary design and installation
measures to ensure their systems are amongst the most reliable
available. WLS offers a full remote monitoring service, providing 24
hour, 365 days a year monitoring, not only for alarm and fault
signals, but also sequential, audio or visual verification systems.
This ensures a prompt response by police, keyholders or service
engineers.
WLS is approved NSI (NACOSS), ISO 9002 and is SAFE contractor
approved.
