Frequently Asked Questions
An intercom system enables two-way communication between entry points and internal locations. When integrated with access control, staff or residents can see, hear, and speak with visitors, then grant or deny entry remotely without physically opening a door.
Access control restricts unauthorized entry, creates real-time audit trails of who entered where and when, and enables immediate lockdown of doors or zones if a security event occurs. Integrated systems can also automatically trigger video recording or alarm notifications.
Yes. Access control systems can integrate with video surveillance, intrusion alarms, fire alarm systems, intercoms, and visitor or tenant management platforms. This creates a unified security environment managed from a single interface.
Audio intercoms support voice-only communication. Video intercoms add visual verification, allowing you to see who is requesting entry before granting access, which provides an additional layer of security.
Yes. Cloud-based access control systems allow you to lock and unlock doors, add or remove users, adjust permissions, and review access logs from any device with an internet connection, whether you’re on-site or managing multiple locations.
FSS Technologies designs, installs, and services access control and intercom systems using industry-leading products and factory-certified technicians. Systems are built to be scalable, integrated with your existing security infrastructure, and backed by 24/7 support.
Alarm monitoring involves 24/7 supervision of fire safety, life safety, or security systems to ensure an immediate response in the event of an emergency.
When an alarm is triggered, communication signals are sent to a UL-listed central monitoring station, where trained operators assess and respond to the situation quickly and appropriately.
We monitor fire alarms, burglar/intrusion systems, carbon monoxide detectors, panic/emergency buttons, sprinkler systems, temperature sensors, water leak detectors, and more.
Local alarms alert only those nearby with lights, sirens, and other notification devices. Monitored alarms send alerts to a central station for immediate action, even if no one is on-site.
