Control who enters your building - and have the audit trail to prove it
Active Communications is a Paxton Platinum Partner, which means our engineers are trained on the full Paxton range and can recommend the right approach for your site. We work with businesses, schools and public-facing organisations that need more control over doors, gates and restricted areas without making day-to-day access awkward for staff.
Whether you need a single controlled entrance or a multi-door system across several buildings, we handle the full job from survey and design through to installation, commissioning and staff training. We can also integrate access control with CCTV, visitor management and ongoing maintenance support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Paxton Net2 and Paxton10?
Net2 is a well-established PC-based access control platform that suits many businesses. Paxton10 is a newer system with built-in video management and a more modern user experience. We will recommend the option that best fits your site, budget and long-term plans.
Can access control integrate with CCTV?
Yes. We can link door events with CCTV footage so it is easier to review incidents and confirm who used a door at a particular time.
Can staff use phones instead of fobs?
Yes, depending on the system. Mobile credentials are a popular option for businesses that want to reduce reliance on separate fobs or cards.
How many doors can an access control system manage?
Anything from a single entrance to a large multi-door, multi-site system. We design the system around your current needs and leave room for future growth where required.
Do you maintain existing access control systems?
Yes. We support systems we install and can also take over maintenance of existing systems, subject to survey.
