CCTV & Access Control

CCTV and access control systems are essential for protecting people, managing access, and maintaining visibility across modern buildings and campuses. When professionally designed and integrated, these systems provide real-time monitoring, controlled entry, and rapid response to incidents.

Since 1999, Priority Communication Systems (PCS) has delivered CCTV and access control solutions across Canada. Our systems integrate seamlessly with security platforms, telephone systems, emergency call systems, mass notification technologies, structured cabling, and data networks, creating a unified approach to safety and control.

PCS supports deployments across Calgary, Alberta, Vancouver, Toronto, Ontario, and nationwide.

What Are CCTV & Access Control Systems?

CCTV and access control systems work together to monitor activity and manage who can enter or move within a facility.

These systems typically include:

CCTV cameras and video surveillance
Door entry systems and card readers
Keypad, fob, or biometric access control
Centralised management and monitoring
Integration with alarms and emergency systems

When integrated, CCTV provides visibility while access control enforces security policies—delivering comprehensive protection.

Why Integrated CCTV & Access Control Matter

Standalone surveillance or door entry systems often leave gaps. Integrated CCTV and access control systems allow organisations to:

Monitor activity in real time
Control access to sensitive areas
Reduce unauthorised entry
Improve incident investigation
Enhance safety and compliance

Integration ensures events captured on CCTV can be linked directly to access activity, enabling faster and more informed response.

Integrated Security and Communication

PCS specialises in integrated CCTV and access control as part of a wider security ecosystem.

Our solutions integrate with:

Security systems and intrusion detection
Telephone and cloud communication platforms
Emergency call and mass notification systems
Structured cabling, data, and Wi-Fi networks
Monitoring and service support platforms

This integration improves situational awareness and enables coordinated response during incidents.
