P & Q supply and install systems for Access Control and Monitoring, using our own software (based on the Q›TAR System) in conjunction with hardware from various manufacturers, in order to be able to provide the system best suited to our clients' needs.

Q›TAR Access Systems can be provided as:

• Stand-alone, centrally administered systems;
• Stand-alone systems with individual doors administered independently (i.e. without a central system);
• Integrated with other Q›TAR applications, such as Time & Attendance Management.

Providing integrated systems is our specialty, so our clients receive the best value for their investment, and are able to use the same equipment, badges and data for multiple purposes. Our systems can also be customised to meet unusual needs.

Restricting Access to a person's Normal Working Hours

If required, the Q›TAR system can provide sophisticated levels of access restriction, including combinations involving people, time and day - such as restricting access for a group of people to their normal working hours, excluding bank holidays.

Access Monitoring

Attempted violations of the system (door forced, door left open, window opened, etc) may raise an alarm and are logged. Optionally, all accesses to secure areas can be recorded.

Egress buttons may be used to exit a restricted area (rather than using a reader), but in this case there can be no record of who has left the area.

Emergency Presence Listing

A listing of all people currently recorded as being present on site can be produced automatically (e.g. triggered by a fire alarm) at a suitable location.

Access Control Hardware

Q›TAR systems can be used with a wide variety of reader types (including biometric readers) to operate almost any type of access control equipment.

P & Q can provide you with all the equipment you need to prepare Badges yourself, or you can use our Badge Preparation Service.
