Use Door Access Control or Intercom to Restrict Entry
to Secure Areas

A modern office requires protection of electronic information, records, inventory, trade secrets, and expensive machinery. Only a select trusted group should have access to these assets, and they must be supervised. We can install a Door Access Control System for any application; from a small office to an entire business park, anywhere in California. New technology provides very practical options. We make sure that the interface is simple and easy to use, no matter how complicated the system. We also offer Intercom System installation across California.

Door Access Design & Installation Methods

When you partner with Progressive Technology, you benefit from over two decades of Door Access and Intercom design and Installation experience. In Card Access Installation, it is important to have low-voltage electrical experience coupled with a deep knowledge of door hardware. Door Access Control can get very complicated, and there are a good amount of compatibility issues during installation. In order to insure that the system is reliable and durable, we work directly with our vendors and distributors. So, your system is designed and installed using the best possible equipment and with a solid installation game plan.

We always look for ways to increase your protection, and decrease your cost. One method we often employ is to integrate card access equipment into a security system. This allows the Control Panel to serve two purposes, and gives our customers more bang for their buck.

Intercom Design & Installation Methods

When you partner with Progressive Technology, you benefit from over two decades of design experience. In Intercom System Installation, it is important to have low-voltage electrical experience coupled with knowledge of door hardware. Intercom can get complicated, and there are a good amount of compatibility issues during installation. In order to insure that the system is reliable and durable, we work directly with our vendors and distributors, Nutone and Aiphone. So, your system is designed and installed using the best possible equipment and with a solid installation game plan.

There are many options that Aiphone and Nutone offer when it comes to installation:

Apartment Building Intercom – Preventing theft within your building starts at the entry points. An intercom system will give only tenants and staff the ability to allow entry. You will also be able to keep reports on when, where, and who allowed entry around the time of a robbery.

Home Intercom – The added value of Intercom security is paired with many home automation options. You can play music over the intercom, communicate with people in other rooms, and even monitor your children.

Business Intercom – The easier it is to get into your building, the higher the chances of theft. With Intercom Security only employees and associates will be able to enter your organization. This protects your Staff, Assets, and Information.

Door Access Control and Intercom System Equipment

We put a great deal of research into the Door Access Control equipment we choose to adopt. There are many devices used for verification:

Biometrics – Read a Fingerprint or Retina Scan, in order to verify that a person is verified for access. An advantage with these readers is that users are not required to carry around a card, but these devices are more expensive than the alternatives. This is the closest to Sci-Fi as we get.
Magnetic Cards – Much like a credit card, the swipe of a Magnetic strip is used for verification. These cards can also serve as a Company ID card, and can also incorporate RFID technology.

Proximity Readers – Using Radio Frequency Technology (RFID) a small plastic key fob signals access. A key fob will conveniently fit on your key ring, and it is very durable (it is hard plastic and waterproof).

Numeric Keypads – a numeric code must be entered for verification.

Much scrutiny goes into the equipment we choose to install, it must be durable, long lasting and the technology must be up to date. These are our primary Manufacturers of Control Equipment:
