Access Control & Intercom Systems
- Our Difference
Control Who Enters, When They Enter & How With Full Visibility.
Managing who has access to your site is just as important as monitoring what happens inside it. Keys go missing, codes are shared, and doors are left unlocked and when something goes wrong, it’s often impossible to see who was where, and when.
Element Security designs and installs electronic access control and intercom systems for businesses, venues and facilities across Australia. We help you move beyond keys and guesswork to controlled, auditable access that protects people, property and reputation.
From single door solutions to multi site networks, we provide access control that integrates with your CCTV, alarms and monitoring so you always know who’s on site, and why.
Work with us to design smarter, compliance ready solutions.
- Who We Work With
Why Access Control Matters
Relying on physical keys and manual sign in sheets creates real risk:
- No audit trail – you can’t see who accessed which door or area at what time.
- Uncontrolled copies – keys can be shared, lost or duplicated without your knowledge.
- Slow response – when staff leave or roles change, locks need re-keying and keys need chasing.
- Compliance gaps – there’s no reliable way to show that restricted areas were secured or that only authorised people entered.
- Duty of Care issues – unauthorised access to plant rooms, back of house or sensitive spaces increases safety and liability risk.
Modern access control systems replace this uncertainty with clear, centralised control so you can decide who has access, to which doors, and under which conditions.
What Is an Access Control System?
Card, fob or tag readers at doors, gates and lifts.
PIN or keypad entry for selected doors.
Biometric options (where appropriate) such as fingerprint or facial recognition.
Electronic door locks that can be centrally managed.
Access control panels and software to manage permissions and schedules.
Integration with CCTV and alarm systems to verify events.
With a properly designed system, you decide which users can access each area, at what times (e.g. business hours only, contractor windows, staff rosters) & how access is granted and revoked. When staff or contractors leave, you remove their access in software no re-keying, no chasing keys.
- Your First Line Of Defence
Intercom Systems for Safer, Smarter Entry
- Connect doors and gates to your reception or security team
- Provide audio or video verification before granting access
- Integrate with access control, so doors can be opened remotely
- Support deliveries, visitor access and after hours entry
- Log calls and events for later review
Key Benefits of Electronic Access Control
A well designed access control and intercom solution gives you:
Restrict access to plant, chemical stores, back of house and high risk zones.
It’s not about making life harder for staff it’s about making access safer, smarter and easier to manage.
Built to Integrate: Access, CCTV and Monitoring
Access control doesn’t sit in isolation. It’s most powerful when it’s integrated with your broader security ecosystem. Element Security designs systems so access control and intercoms can work hand in hand with:
- IP CCTV – link doors and events to video for fast incident review.
- Alarm & Video Monitoring – trigger verified responses for forced doors or after hours access.
- AI Security Analytics – support investigations and incident analysis where appropriate.
When something happens a forced door, an out of hours entry, a disputed incident you have both logs and video to work with, rather than relying on memory or manual notes.
Compliance, Audit Trails and Accountability
For many organisations, access control is a compliance tool as much as a security one. When it’s implemented properly, it can help you meet WHS obligations by restricting access to hazardous or high risk areas, support insurer requirements around locking, zoning and evidence of control, and align with regulatory and contractual expectations in sectors like healthcare, government and education. It also underpins privacy and data retention policies by keeping access logs stored securely and only available to authorised staff.
Element Security configures access control and intercom systems with auditability in mind clear logs, sensible retention settings and appropriate access to records so you can demonstrate due diligence whenever questions arise.

Access Control & Intercom Systems – FAQs
Can you retrofit access control onto existing doors?
In many cases, yes. We can often add electronic locks and readers to existing doors and frames, then connect them back to a central system. A site assessment will confirm what’s practical and compliant.
Do we need to replace all our locks at once?
Not necessarily. Many clients stage their upgrades starting with high risk or high traffic areas, then expanding over time. We can design a roadmap that fits your budget and priorities.
Can access control work across multiple sites or tenancies?
Do you integrate access control with CCTV and monitoring?
Yes. Access events can be linked to video and, where relevant, to alarm and video monitoring for verified, real time response.
What happens if a card or fob is lost?
You simply deactivate that credential in the system and issue a new one. There’s no need to re-key doors, and the lost card will no longer work.
