Webinar Overview
Join Skills for Security, Texecom and Paxton for an educational webinar exploring lockdown systems and the role security installers can play in supporting safer premises.
Designed specifically for UK security installers, the session will cut through common misconceptions and provide a practical overview of this developing area.
There is no single lockdown solution that will be appropriate for every building. This webinar will explore why decisions should be based on the individual premises, its risks and what is considered reasonable and practical.
Delegates will also learn how intruder detection and access control technologies can support lockdown requirements independently or work together as part of a hybrid solution.
