Access control product range
Access control is a complex environment with far-reaching implications. The traditional door or gate control no longer satisfies the needs of the modern business. To fulfil the requirement of its clients, it offers two world-class solutions in Impro and Blue Line. Blick South Africa is the largest distributor of Impro products and the sole distributor of the company's own locally developed and manufactured Blue Line range.
Both Impro and Blue Line systems have advanced access control features that provide flexibility and a secure environment. The products have unrivalled access control features such as logical sequencing, anti-pass back, multiple access zones and layered security clearance as standard.
Impro and Blue Line can be integrated with multiple access control devices such as turnstiles, vehicle booms, cubicles and biometric recognition devices. Integrating access control and building management systems using the company's products can result in substantial improvements in infrastructure management.
Research and development focused on proximity reader technology had led to Impro's extensive range of security solutions for domestic, commercial, mining, institutional and agricultural applications. Products range from single-door access units using passive transponders to active, long-range scanners and asset management and identification units.
To comply with international approval standards, Impro products meet the SABS and European CE standards as well as recognised British, European, American and German manufacturing marks.
The Blue Line access control system can be linked to the most common reader technologies, allowing the user the choice of proximity, bar code, magnetic strip or smartcard badges. In conjunction with a badge system, additional security can be obtained by integrating biometric readers, occular scanners or a range of advanced recognition devices.
Seamless integration of access control, time management and data collection using a single database, places the Blue Line series in a class of its own.
Installations and rental option
Installations of all Blick South Africa's products are done with a focus on minimum interruptions for the client. All installations are pre-planned with the client and a full project plan for the installation and training is drawn up.

Blick South Africa offers an in-house rental option on all its products. This rental option includes a full maintenance and service contract. The company offers up to seven years' rental, which shows its faith in its product as a long-term solution.
