The challenge
Millions of visitors to protect
With so many visitors each year and such a large, complex site, The Clock Towers team needed a physical access control system they could fully rely on. And would allow them to manage more than 4000 doors seamlessly and keep a close eye on security events in real time. They also needed to migrate data safely and accurately from their existing access control system, and make the switch to a new system with minimal downtime.
What they did
High-security access, locally supported
The Clock Towers chose to install AEOS physical access control with Nedap card readers. An on-premises system, AEOS is known for offering high levels of security. They also integrated a video management system to give a real-time view of events with video verification. And Nedap’s network of local, certified partners means they have fast access to technical support whenever they need it.
