| Paxton Access' Net2 now controls access on 82 doors for over 1000 users across SIV's venues |
The nature of these facilities means they are open to the public every day of the week. Tony Hancock, SIV's Security Systems Technician says: "We had some basic systems in place in our different venues but I was keen to standardise and improve on our existing security."
Having used Net2, an access control system from Paxton Access, in the past, Tony recommended that it should be installed on some of the venues as a trial prior to fitting it to all areas. Ponds Forge, which boasts an Olympic sized swimming pool, amongst the other great facilities, was the first venue to have Net2 installed.
The system has been gradually rolled out to Don Valley Stadium, Concord Sports Centre, iceSheffield and the English Institute of Sport. Sheffield City Hall is also on the Net2 system, as an SIV-managed facility.
Net2 now controls access on 82 doors for over 1000 users across SIV's venues. The management of the system is carried out by the security team at Ponds Forge. The systems are all connected over the existing IT network. Martin Sims, SIV's Fire Safety and Security Advisor comments: "It is so much simpler being able to manage each venue from one central location."
Tony and Martin are very happy with the system. Tony says: "In my experience Net2 is definitely one of the best systems out there. Systems that are capable of controlling multi-venues at such an economical price are rare. I would have no hesitation in recommending Net2 to any business."
