St Theresa’s Catholic Primary School is a larger than average-sized primary school, in Harrow.
The school approached us with a view to securing the school with a new fire door as well as a Paxton Net2 access control to the new doors and the existing double doors near the hall. They also requested a new Paxton Net2 access control solution to the front vehicle gate.
We went on to mount a Net2 Access Control unit with plastic housing at high level, local to the door. New and existing containment, colour-coded Cat5e connections to the nearest network cabinet were also installed. A new fused un-switched spur was installed at high level near the Paxton control unit and was run from the nearest fuse board.
The Paxton Net2 software was installed on a PC of their choice, from where we also installed a Desktop card reader. This is used for assigning cards/fobs to doors.
We fitted the gate with an Intercom mounting post on the street side for vehicle access, which now houses a new Vandal resistant video Entry unit with weather-resistant hood and long-range proximity reader. An underground sensor was installed under the drive for sensing vehicles on exit, allowing the gate to be opened.
3 x Paxton touch screen Video Entry phones were installed for controllability of the gate.
All power and data cabling was run from the main building to the gate via a trench. To excavate two no tracks across the main access road to allow for gate link and to allow for gate sensors.
