FIELD NOTES
From the field.
Short, practical notes on access control, surveillance, cyber security and fire safety — new posts added as we publish them.
ACCESS CONTROL
5 signs your office has outgrown key-based access
Lost keys, no entry log, and a guard who has to recognise every face — a quick checklist for when it's time to switch to biometric or card access.
CCTV
Where most CCTV blind spots actually are
It's rarely the front gate. A short look at the corners businesses forget to cover — stairwells, loading bays, and parking edges.
FIRE SAFETY
What a fire extinguisher AMC should actually include
Refill isn't the whole job. What to check for in an annual maintenance contract before you sign one.
More field notes coming soon.
