Milton Tech Commercial Security Systems

  • What is access control?

    Access control is a security system that regulates who can enter or access certain areas of a building or facility. It replaces traditional keys with electronic credentials like fobs, cards, keypads, or mobile apps. To learn more about an access control system, contact Milton Tech Commercial Security Systems today.
  • What types of access control systems do you offer?

    We offer standalone, networked, and cloud-based systems, including key fob/card readers, PIN code keypads, biometric readers, and mobile access via smartphones. We work hard to provide a variety of options for commercial security systems. Get in touch with us to request an estimate.
  • Can I integrate access control with my existing alarm or camera system?

    Yes, most access control systems we install can be integrated with CCTV, alarms, fire systems, and intercoms for a seamless commercial security systems solution. If you’re looking for a way to upgrade your security, request an estimate from us today.
  • What happens if someone loses their access card or fob?

    You can quickly deactivate the lost credential from the system and issue a new one without changing any locks. An advanced access control installation helps keep your property secure and reduces downtime. To improve your security infrastructure, get in touch with us.
  • What is a door strike or magnetic lock?

    These are electronic locking devices controlled by your access control system. Magnetic locks use magnets to secure the door, while strikes work with the door latch. If you want to know what other security solutions pair well with electronic locking devices, get in touch with us.
  • What is a CCTV system?

    A Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system uses cameras to monitor and record video footage for security purposes. It can be used for live monitoring or playback of footage from a commercial security camera. And we recommend installing these cameras because, according to The College of Policing, CCTV can reduce the crime rate by 13% compared to places without surveillance cameras. Contact us to discuss options for CCTV systems.
  • Are your CCTV systems viewable remotely?

    Yes, we offer systems that can be viewed in real-time from smartphones, tablets, or computers using secure apps or browser portals. These systems include tailored solutions like business security cameras. Contact us to learn more about integrated security options.
  • How long is video footage stored?

    Storage duration depends on your hard drive size and settings. Most commercial security camera systems store footage from 7 to 90 days, but we can customize it to your needs. Talk to us to learn more about storage options.
  • Do you install cameras indoors and outdoors?

    Yes. We install weatherproof outdoor business security cameras and discreet indoor models, including dome, bullet, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom), and 360 fisheye options. If you would like to upgrade your security with a camera, contact us to request an estimate.
  • Is it better to use key fobs or mobile credentials for access control?

    Fobs are reliable and easy to replace, while mobile credentials offer convenience but depend on battery and connectivity. We can help you choose based on your needs. Contact us to learn more about fobs, access control installations, and other security solutions.
