Integrating CCTV with Access Control & Alarm Systems 

Most organisations still treat CCTV, door entry and intruder alarms as three separate universes. This article explains how to achieve that joined-up approach without tearing up your existing infrastructure.

Hands-Free Access Control Solutions 

There are hundreds of Access control suppliers offering ‘contactless’ or ‘noncontact’ solutions. This article will help you decide the best solution on the most suitable technologies available.

Mobile Access Control

Mobile access control replaces plastic cards and fobs with a credential on your phone. If you’re exploring mobile credentials for a new build or retrofit, our team can translate these principles into a right-sized design and commissioning plan.

Biometric Access Control Systems: Fingerprint, Facial Recognition & More 

Biometric access control replaces “what you have” (cards, fobs) or “what you know” (PINs) with who you are.If you want a practical design that balances assurance, user experience and governance, our team can specify, install and commission a right-sized system for you.

Artificial Intelligence in Access Control: Enhancing Security 

“AI in access control” isn’t about sprinkling buzzwords on your doors. It’s about using machine learning and analytics to make the core outcome of an Automatic Access Control System (AACS) more reliable and more useful.

Visitor Management Systems and Access Control Integration 

Visitor Management Systems (VMS) have quietly become the front door of modern premises. Done well, they shorten queues, improve reception service, tighten security, and produce a clean audit trail for compliance and safety.

We’ve applied this same converged-systems approach to a real seven-floor office migration — see our The Writer case study. See also our structured data cabling hub for the full range of sectors and services ACCL covers.

We commissioned a Wi-Fi survey and installation of new fibre and Cat6 cabling to support a new Wi-Fi installation from Accl in July and August of 2026. ACCL were superb from start to finish. We cannot fault the quality of the work and we received great advice on our project. Very satisfied customer!

Very professional company, good at understanding our need and efficient delivery of new building network- and WIFI infrastructure. An extra star for making it easy for me to "remote" organize this from Norway.

We used ACCL for a full WiFi and network install at our Old Street office and are very pleased with the result. They supplied and installed seven Ubiquiti WiFi access points, a UniFi Dream Machine, a 24 port Layer 3 Ubiquiti switch, and ran new Cat6A Leviton cabling with two ports to every AP. The whole job was neat, well planned and done to a very high standard. The coverage across the office is excellent and it looks pretty cool too! Would happily recommend them to anyone needing cabling or network infrastructure done properly.

An excellent service from start to finish! The ACCL team installed our new network cabling, the foundation in readiness for supplying and installing a new IP CCTV camera system, professionally and efficiently. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to ensure everything was installed neatly and working perfectly. Their attention to detail and customer service were outstanding. I very much appreciate the initial project management and upfront planning, which combined to secure a successful delivery. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable network cabling or CCTV installation. Thank you for a fantastic job.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Wayne and his team for the excellent work they carried out. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, efficient, and clearly took great pride in delivering a high standard of service. They were professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail, ensuring everything was neat, clearly labelled, well organised, and completed to a very high standard. The end result was clean, structured, and exactly what we needed. Wayne and his team were reliable, courteous, and clearly committed to doing the job properly rather than simply getting it done. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional cabling work and a team that genuinely takes pride in the quality of their finish.

Wayne and team did an excellent job tidying our office data cabinet over the weekend. Professional, clean work—they went above and beyond with cable management and even relocated the router. Communication was impeccable throughout. Highly recommend.

We've worked with Wayne, David and the ACCL team for a number of years on projects throughout London. One of very few suppliers that we never have to question their proposal on detail or price, everything is clear, transparent and fair. Projects are always completed on time and there are never any costly surprises which we had previously experienced from other suppliers. They all have a vast knowledge on anything fibre optic cabling, copper cabling or wifi. ACCL is now the only data cabling company in our phone book. Highly recommended.
