Medical Marijuana Facilities

Marijuana is a sought after commodity. Security for growing, storage and dispensary facilities is of utter importance. With Biometric solutions, not only is the identity of the person entering verified, but it also makes for a more secure environment and easy access. Biometrics, such as fingerprint or iris scans are very convenient, as they do not require the employee to grab a keycard. Without the chance of losing the ID, and the readily available fingerprint or iris, biometrics are less costly over time and more easily used.

ID cards are great, as they can be encoded with the access credentials, as well as printed with an image of the owner and the employing company. With a quick glance, a user can be identified by their ID card. Identity cards have to be worn visibly, which means they will be readily available and easily scanned on access scanners. The printed image will also make it more complicated for unauthorized personnel to access the site. Having the picture of a different person on an ID card will be very obvious and will result in the easier capture of intruders.

Integrated systems are a great solution for any business. They allow for multiple solutions, such as Access Control, Video Surveillance and Alarm Systems to be integrated into one central system. Not only does this improve the convenience and ease of use of the system, but it also allows for unique features that would otherwise not be possible. The legislation for Cannabis growing and dispensary facilities states that: “A record must be made of the identity of every person entering or exiting the areas where cannabis is present”. With an integrated system, the access and video surveillance systems can be connected to each other. This allows for the system to take a snapshot from a camera and create an event every time an access card is swiped. Instead of now trying to find different time slots in two systems, everything is collected locally and can be viewed at the click of a button.

Protecting the perimeter and the areas where cannabis is present is important. Door and perimeter security are essential in protecting the operation and fulfilling the government legislation. We offer a wide range of locking and perimeter security devices. With perimeter security solutions, such as fence cutting and vibration detection systems, as well as automated gates, we can ensure that any property is protected at all times. For doors, we offer solutions for single or double doors, as well as overhead doors. Whether the requirement is a locking device or an automated access system, we have the right solution for the job, to protect all the buildings.

Burglary alarms need to be carefully designed and installed. Our installations are all done to the highest standards to ensure the security of the property, while we also utilize sensors that are designed to minimize false alarm events. Alarm systems can become a nuisance if there are too many false alarms, that’s why we ensure to install reliable products that reduce those events. Beyond that our systems are designed to accommodate any size facility with the capability to individually arm sections of the building at any given time.

Most standalone buildings will require fire panels and sprinklers for the detection and prevention of fire. These panels do not provide monitoring to a central station, which is where we come in. Our fire monitoring solutions are designed to integrate into any fire panel and will reliably provide alerts about fires, troubles and other issues with the fire system. In a standalone building, we can provide both fire and burglarly monitoring, which minimizes the monthly bill you are paying and Authorized Security will be your sole point of contact for both solutions, minimizing administration effort.

In case of medical alerts or intrusions, personal panic or alert devices can immediately dispatch the required authorities. These devices are designed to be panic buttons on desks or integrated into necklaces, bracelets and more. Upon the press of a button the authorities are dispatched, without alerting a potential intruder. These solutions maximize security of the staff and children at the daycare, while also providing peace of mind that someone is watching in case of a medical emergency.

Our alarm system products can integrate into the access control and video surveillance products on site, giving you a single interface of all of the above. Not only will control over these devices be easier with one central interface, but your security will be much more effective with the integrated solutions. Allowing for the capture of a snapshot of every person entering that can be pulled up via the access control logs, as well as snapshots of the person that disarmed the alarm system in the morning. These integrations can be extremely powerful and best of all, easy to use.

From projectors to mounted T.V.’s and signage displays, we have the right products for the job. In an educational environment information and scheduling are key.

We can work with you and analyze your needs to get the best product at the best price to you. For digital signage solutions, we have the right software and products to build single displays, up to entire video walls, allowing you to bring your message across in an impressive format.

Single room audio, or distributed audio across all rooms, we can help. Audio solutions are oftentimes a requirement for daycare and preschool centers. Our distributed audio solutions allow for each room to be controlled independently, while each room can have a different input device, such as a networked media player or a personal device located in the room. This allows for teachers and staff to play music from their personal devices, stream it from internet radio sources or select from any pre-loaded music, right from an app or a touchscreen. Entertaining children with music has never been easier.

Is your staff wheeling a T.V. on a stand with a DVD player into the room, attempting to find a receptacle and then struggling to control it? Integrated A.V. solutions come to the rescue with easy to use interfaces and selection of sources. At the touch of a button, a projector can be turned on, a screen can be extended from the ceiling and the correct source (movie, television, etc.) starts playing. Minimizing the need for wheeling around T.V.’s will allow the staff to watch the children and will take the frustration of using the T.V. off their shoulders. Our integrated A.V. solutions are extremely scalable allowing for single zone solutions up to 256 different rooms and sources.

From T.V. mounts to projector screens and even cables, we carry a vast variety to ensure all of your devices are securely mounted and maybe even hidden if required.

Power is one of the least thought of requirements for devices, until it goes out. Regular power coming from your receptacles can be very “dirty”. Dirty power can cut your device life much shorter, than originally intended. We recommend power conditioning equipment for each and every device that will be plugged into a wall outlet. Whether it may be a T.V. or a computer. For data sensitive devices we take it a step further and recommend power backup solutions that will continue running, even if power fails at the location. All power backed up devices should also be backed up by a separate backup service to ensure the data integrity in case of a power failure or worse, a hardware crash.

Regular maintenance is an utter requirement of the longevity and reliability of any I.T. environment. Whether there are outstanding issues that need to be resolved, or the devices themselves need to be cleaned regularly, we recommend a regular visit every 3 to 6 months, depending on the environment and size of the installation. Regular cleaning, updating, auditing and logging of all device activity is important for any I.T. environment. We will come by to ensure your environment is functioning as it should, at all times.

Audio and Video signals need the right wire to properly transport the signal across your building. HDMI wires need to be rated to be run in-wall, in order to protect the signal that the wire is transporting. There are varying standards for HDMI cables as well that are used for different applications. The standard needs to be matched to the application. For audio wiring, the correct gauge of wiring needs to be used for the type of speaker and type of system that will be installed. We use Honeywell’s Genesis Cable which is one of the highest grade cables available. Honeywell offers a wide range of cables for almost every application.

Networks are the most important part of any I.T. environment. With daycare and preschool centers relying more and more on a stable network infrastructure.
