Safety and energy savings with Paxton

Safety and savings with Paxton

Increasing costs combined with worsening climate conditions mean that it’s time to get the best possible benefits from our procurement.

While security will always be an essential measure for any premises, choosing the right products can mean energy savings, which benefit both the environment and your budget.

Here’s a guide to the easiest ways to make energy savings with your access control from Paxton.

Automatic utility switch off


Using “Triggers and Actions” in your Paxton software can register when the last person on site leaves and switch off lights, air conditioning or as required.

This can reduce your company carbon footprint and have a big impact on your energy bills and building efficiency.

Low power door handles


Wireless door handles can switch to low power mode when not in use, reducing the amount of energy used in areas without much foot traffic.

They are quick and easy to install as they don’t require any wiring.

Appliance usage reduction


Using “Triggers and Actions” in your Paxton software can register when the last person on site leaves and switch off lights, air conditioning or as required.

This can reduce your company carbon footprint and have a big impact on your energy bills and building efficiency.

Remote control to minimise travel


Paxton software and the mobile app allow management to log in and switch off appliances and utilities left on out of hours, rather than make a trip to site.

This reduces carbon footprint and saves energy wastage, in turn reducing bills.

Paxton applications can make a huge impact on your energy usage and budget.  From wireless locks and appliance management to smart software, there are plenty of ways to save with security.

If you already have a Paxton system in place, it’s easy to add these elements in.

AI powered security with ANPR

ANPR number plate

Looking to manage vehicle entry more effectively? ANPR has you covered

With a range of applications from law enforcement to commercial and domestic security, ANPR could be the best way to manage vehicles on your property.

What is ANPR and how does it work?

Automatic Number Plate Recording (ANPR) describes the connection of an AI camera to a computer.  When the camera detects a vehicle, it sends a recording of the plate to the computer, which is read and checked against an internal database.

When used by organisations or individuals, the owner of the camera will be able to set lists of accepted number plates, which can trigger one of the following actions:

  • Unlock an entrance or exit gate
  • Alert a staff member
  • Trigger an alarm

How can ANPR benefit me?

If you’ve ever struggled to identify whether a vehicle is authorised over a camera, or had to physically leave your office to open a gate, you’ll already understand how convenient ANPR can be.  Staff can save time with automatic entry and unauthorised vehicles will be unable to gain access, keeping your site protected with enhanced CCTV.

With full control over the number plate database, you can fully customise your lists, meaning that even organisations with large fleets or regular vehicle turnover can stay on top of access, and visitors can be added so keep your meeting slick and safe.

Benefits

  • Multilingual recognition – including English, Arabic, Chinese & Cyrillic
  • High accuracy – 95%+ accuracy on alphanumeric plates
  • Speedy scan – full scan recognition can take place in 100 milliseconds
  • Ultimate efficient – save time for your staff by letting AI do the work
  • Secure site – keep intruders out without impacting operations

If ANPR sounds like something which could enhance your CCTV setup, we can help talk you through it.
