Access control is rarely just about locking and unlocking a door.
That’s the easier bit.
The real job is solving what happens around that door...
Staff arriving at the same time every morning.
Cleaners and contractors needing access outside normal hours.
Visitors coming into reception.
A server room that only a few people should be able to enter.
A school needing staff only areas, after school access and lockdown options.
A gym where members need to move through certain areas without queueing at the desk.
A block of flats where residents need control over who gets into the building.
That’s where CDVI ATRIUM fits in.
We’ve recently started working with CDVI UK, with our first shipment of ATRIUM gear due in soon.
ATRIUM gives you a proper access control platform to build these jobs around.
You can manage users, doors, schedules, access levels and areas from one system, with support for up to 500 doors and 10,000 users.
So instead of just fitting a product on a door, you can offer your customer a system that suits how their building actually works.
Offices.
Schools.
Commercial units.
Gyms and leisure centres.
Residential blocks.
Multi-site businesses.
Secure rooms.
Staff areas.
Visitor routes.
Out-of-hours access.
It gives you more room to quote access control properly, without having to cobble a solution together or limit the job because the system can’t keep up with what the customer needs.
There are also useful integration options with CCTV, intruder alarms, biometrics, lifts and ANPR, so you can build a more complete solution where the job needs it.
That’s why the training is important.
If you’re fitting access control, you need to know more than what goes where.
You need to understand how to build the system around the customer’s site, users and day-to-day routine.
We’ve got two practical CDVI training sessions booked in July:
Monday 20 July - Stockport
Tuesday 21 July - Leicester
Both start at 10:00
You’ll get hands-on with the kit, build working setups, see how the software works, and get a clearer feel for where ATRIUM fits into the jobs you’re quoting.
If you already fit access control, this is worth getting booked onto.
If you want to start quoting more of it, this is a strong place to start.
