Access Control for Commercial and Strata Buildings
Commercial-grade access control for doors, gates and lifts, designed for secure buildings, scalable site management, and seamless integration with CCTV, intercom and alarms.
Southern Cross Electronic Security (SCES) designs, installs and supports access control systems for strata, apartment and commercial buildings across Sydney, Central Coast and Wollongong. Our focus is secure, frictionless entry for authorised users, with clear control over restricted areas and after-hours access.
We configure credentials for your site, including cards, fobs and mobile options, define access groups and schedules, and integrate doors, gates and lift control for consistent movement. Systems integrate with intercom and CCTV so access events are verified against video, tagged for review, and reported for audits.
