About Our Access Control Services
Vigilant Security helps businesses track who enters their sites and when. Our access control specialists work across Ireland. We carry out every installation to EN 60839 standards. Plus, our service and maintenance aftercare plans help keep your access control security services reliable after handover.
Keeping Control of Who Comes and Goes
Visitors who enter without approval can put your site at risk. Theft and damage are concerns. So are private data, records and staff safety. An access control system keeps unauthorised people out. It lets approved people enter with a card, fob, code, phone or fingerprint.
Access control also keeps a log of who enters and leaves, and when. As a result, you can review an incident or check records for compliance. The system works for staff, visitors, contractors and residents. You can also change access rights as people join, leave or change roles. There is no need to change the locks.
Who Needs Access Control Services?
-
Offices and multi-tenant buildings, where each team may need its own level of access.
-
Warehouses and logistics sites, where you need to track stock and vehicle movement.
-
Retail units, where stock rooms, staff areas and after-hours entry need protection.
-
Healthcare and education facilities, where both safety and security matter.
-
Industrial and manufacturing premises, where you must limit entry to risky or high-value areas.
-
Multi-site businesses, which need one system to manage several places.
-
Construction sites, where contractor teams and access needs often change.
-
Residential developments, where both residents and visitors need safe entry.
-
Single-door SMEs and larger multi-site operations. We can set up commercial access control systems for one office. We also offer business access control systems for several sites.
Our Access Control Solutions
Each business has its own entry needs. So our access control systems offer many ways to manage who gets in. We choose the right setup for your site.
-
Biometric Access Control
Fingerprints and other biometric methods check the person, not a card. So there is no lost card or shared PIN to worry about.
-
RFID, Card & Vehicle Access Control
RFID and proximity cards let people enter fast, without contact. Meanwhile, ANPR controls car parks and gates for approved vehicles.
-
Access Control for Construction Sites
Use temporary or mobile entry points as a site changes. You can also track contractors and view access logs in real time.
-
Networked Access Control
Link several doors to one central system. You can then see activity in real time. The setup can grow from a few doors to sites in many places.
-
Cloud-Based & Hosted Access Control
Use an app to manage access rights from anywhere. You do not need a server on-site. This works well for teams with several sites or flexible work hours.
-
Standalone Access Control
Add a digital keypad or proximity reader to one door. This is the lowest-cost choice for small offices or single-door sites.
-
Physical & Non-Physical Credentials
We provide physical cards and fobs. We also offer mobile and app-based access. You can issue or cancel either type when needed.
-
Keypad & PIN Entry
People enter a number code, so they do not need a card or device. The codes are easy to manage. You can also change them if someone else learns them.
-
Intercom & Door Entry Integration
Link access control to a door entry intercom. You can then check a visitor by sight or sound before letting them in.
-
Time & Attendance
Staff can use the same entry pass to clock in and out. It can also help with a roll call in an emergency.
Choosing the Right Access Control System
The right system is about more than how people open a door.
For example, think about these points:
-
Reliability: choose proven hardware and installers who can respond fast when you need help.
-
Integration: make sure it works with your CCTV, alarms, intercoms, BMS and HR systems. This keeps them linked instead of separate.
-
Environmental durability: outdoor or busy doors need IP-rated readers that can stand up to rain and daily use.
-
Scalability: choose a system that can grow from one door to many sites without a full restart.
-
Security features: some sites need multi-factor checks and anti-cloning credentials, not just a card or fob.
-
User experience: mobile passes are handy, but users may need to unlock their phones. Biometrics avoid that step, though they cost more.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
What does access control installation involve?
First, we survey your site and talk through your needs. Next, we design the system and install the hardware. We also link it to any existing CCTV or alarms. Then, we test it before handover. We include training and ongoing support after that.
How much does an access control system cost in Ireland?
The price depends on how many doors you have. It also depends on the entry method, such as standalone, networked or cloud-based access. Links to other systems can affect the cost too. Contact us for a quote based on your site.
How long does it take to install an access control system?
A single-door standalone system can often be installed in one day. However, larger networked or multi-site systems take longer. Links to existing CCTV or alarms may also add time.
What types of access control systems are available?
You can choose a simple keypad for one door. Larger sites may need networked, cloud-based or biometric systems. For more options, see Our Access Control Solutions above.
