Our Installation Process
Integration With Your Other Security Systems
Paxton integrates with CCTV systems, triggering cameras automatically when doors open or access is denied. Intruder alarms arm and disarm based on the last person leaving. Fire alarm integration automatically releases doors during emergencies. Time and attendance systems track employee hours through door access events. As we install all these systems – access control, CCTV, intruder alarms and fire detection – integration is genuinely seamless, not bolt-on afterthoughts.

We support existing Paxton installations whether we installed them or not. Our certified engineers provide system upgrades adding doors or users, migrations from Net2 to Paxton10, and takeovers from unresponsive contractors. We diagnose issues remotely where possible, attend site when needed, and maintain complete system documentation.
