Melbourne’s Trusted Access Control Specialists
We understand that access control can go a long way in ensuring the safety of your residential and commercial premises. More than often a threat walks in via the entryway and securing it is the easiest way to prevent unauthorised entries and any other security breaches. At Technical Security Systems, we combine hands-on trade skills with deep product knowledge to deliver reliable and efficient access control systems. With our 20 years of industry experience, we are your one-stop for access control systems of all kinds and scales.
We work with a wide range of technologies:
- RFID and smart-card readers for fast, contactless entry
- PIN keypads for low-cost secure access
- Mobile credentials using encrypted NFC or Bluetooth
- Biometric access control systems with fingerprint, facial or iris recognition sensors for the highest level of identity assurance
Each reader links to a secure controller, which encrypts all user credentials and relays them to a central server or cloud platform for storage. As people pass through, every access event is automatically time-stamped and added to a detailed log, so audit reports or compliance checks can be generated whenever required. All of the hardware, from the readers themselves to the controllers and cabling, is chosen to handle Melbourne’s shifting weather, ensuring consistent performance through hot summers and damp winters.

Our Access Control Installation Process Explained
Here’s the process we follow –
- Consultation: We visit your property, identify every access point and discuss daily operations, visitor flow and any industry or regulatory requirements.
- Design: Our team creates a network plan showing controller locations, power runs, and the best fail-safe or fail-secure locking methods. Integration with CCTV or alarm systems is planned from the start.
- Installation & Setup: We mount readers, run shielded cabling, secure controllers in locked enclosures and configure the management software.
- Testing: Each reader is tested for speed, backup power failover and accurate event logging. We simulate forced-door and tamper scenarios to confirm alerts are triggered correctly.
- Training & Handover: Your team members learn how to add or remove users, create access groups, set door schedules and generate reports from the web or mobile interface.
After installation we provide 24/7 support, regular firmware updates and, when requested, penetration tests to keep the system resilient against new threats. If staffing changes or new areas are added, we can expand or reconfigure the network without disrupting daily operations.
We deliver more than door locks. Our engineers design entire ecosystems that combine hardware, firmware and software for robust access control security Melbourne businesses and homeowners can trust.
CCTV surveillance and alarms
Commercial Access Control Solutions
A business that controls its access points protects its staff, its data and its inventory. Our Commercial Access Control Solutions are engineered for demanding environments such as logistics centres, data facilities and high-traffic office towers.
Monitoring and Protecting Your Business Premises
Commercial systems often combine several credential types like RFID cards for employees, mobile passes for contractors and biometric access control systems for server rooms or cash-handling areas.
Key features include:
- Role-based permissions: Set access rights by department, job role or time of day.
- Anti-passback: Stops a single credential being used to admit multiple people.
- Real-time alerts: Email or SMS notifications if a door is forced or a reader is tampered with.
- Video integration: Each access event links directly to CCTV footage for immediate verification.
Whether you operate one office or multiple sites, our systems integrate with CCTV, intruder alarms and building-management platforms so you can monitor everything from a single dashboard.
Residential Access Control Systems
At Technical Security Systems, our access control services extend to residential premises. We also design compatible systems for homes, apartment complexes and gated communities.
Keeping Your Home Safe and Secure
For higher security, we offer biometric access control systems that unlock with a fingerprint or facial scan. Multi-factor options such as card plus PIN add an extra layer of protection for garages, wine cellars or home offices storing sensitive data.
These systems integrate with most smart-home platforms, allowing you to:
- Lock or unlock doors remotely
- Receive push notifications if a door is left open
- View live CCTV linked to each access event
- Keep detailed access logs for months or even years, depending on storage capacity
All hardware is chosen for quiet operation and to blend with residential design while meeting fire-safety and emergency-exit standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
01How much do Access Control Systems cost in Melbourne?
Costs depend on several factors like
- The number of cameras required
- Door count
- Chosen technology (RFID, mobile credentials, biometric access control system)

After a site audit we provide a detailed, itemised quote with no hidden fees.
02What technologies are recommended for Access Control Security Melbourne properties?
In most cases we pair encrypted RFID or smart-card readers with mobile credentials, as that combination gives a good balance of security and convenience. Sites that handle sensitive data or valuable stock often go a step further, adding biometrics, such as fingerprint or facial recognition and sometimes a second layer of verification for multi-factor access.
03Can access control integrate with CCTV and alarms?
Yes, we can link door controllers to CCTV and intrusion panels, if required. Each access event can trigger a camera preset or alarm notification for complete situational awareness.
04Do you offer Commercial Access Control Solutions for large or multi-site businesses?
At Technical Security Systems we have the skills and capacity to handle projects of all scales. Our enterprise platforms can manage thousands of users across many buildings. Features include directory integration (Active Directory/LDAP), automatic credential expiry and centralised reporting.
05Can I manage the system remotely?
Yes, every access control system we install can be run from a secure web portal or mobile app. You can add or remove users, adjust door schedules, or pull up detailed activity reports from anywhere with an internet connection. Whether you’re across town or travelling overseas, you stay in charge of your property’s access.
06Do you provide maintenance and upgrades?
At Technical Security Systems, our services extend way beyond installation.
