APACS, the Trade Association for Payments in the UK has been using BLE’s services for over 15 years. BLE supply APACS with both an Access Control System and a CCTV system.

BLE have supplied a Cotag Hands Free Access Control System for a large number of office doors in both of the London premises of APACS. All staff at APACS carry a hands free tag to gain access through controlled secure doors. The latest Cotag software controls which doors employees are allowed through by using the detailed database of employees. The Access Control System is supplemented by a 20 camera CCTV System giving 24 hour coverage of key areas in both

This world famous US Finance Company set up business in the UK in the late 1990’s. BLE were chosen to install and maintain the security systems at its European Headquarters in Nottingham. In 2002 due to a substantial expansion of the premises, Capital One once again decided to use the services of BLE to provide the total Security Systems Solution and also link the system to their prestigious London office
The System Design
BLE installed a fully integrated Proximity Smartcard Access Control System with over 150 readers, which is remotely linked by ISDN to their other site in Central London. The CCTV System has over 100 cameras and uses the latest Chalden Digital Recording System. The Security System also includes Car Park Barriers, Turnstiles and Alarm Monitoring.
Brian Connor, Capital One’s Deputy Director of Corporate Security Services said: "The partnering with BLE has provided Capital One with a fully integrated security system allowing judicious use of manpower to augment the technical solutions. With the ongoing threat of terrorism, a close but flexible relationship lends itself to ensuring timely additions to security systems to mitigate all the risks at the right level."

BLE also supplies its SES (Secure Entry System) to some branches and Swipecard Access Control to external lobbies.BLE's UK team of engineers provide a call out facility to all the Building Societies branches for urgent call outs.
