British American Tobacco

Case Study

Client Overview

British American Tobacco, a renowned global company headquartered in London, is a leading player in the tobacco industry. Their prestigious landmark building on the lower Thames serves as a symbol of their prominence and success. The eight-floor building houses critical operations, making security a top priority. To safeguard their assets and ensure the safety of their personnel, British American Tobacco entrusted the management of their security systems to Hunters, a trusted partner specializing in IP CCTV, access control, and intruder systems.

The Challenge

Securing a building of such significance and size demanded a robust and comprehensive security solution. The client sought a partner capable of designing and maintaining a state-of-the-art security system that covered all aspects of access control, IP CCTV, and intruder detection across all eight floors.

Our Solution

Hunters took on the responsibility of creating a holistic security ecosystem for British American Tobacco. Leveraging our expertise and experience, we designed a multi-layered security strategy that seamlessly integrated Access Control, IP CCTV, and Intruder Systems. The key components of our solution included:

1. Nedap Access Control System:

The heart of the access control solution was the Nedap system, managing access to over 200 doors throughout the building. Our software engineers at Hunters remotely programmed and configured the system, ensuring seamless connectivity between controllers and the central server. This allowed for efficient management of access rights and permissions, enhancing the overall security posture.

2. Axis IP CCTV System:

The Axis IP CCTV system provided comprehensive coverage with over 200 cameras strategically placed across all floors. This system not only enabled real-time monitoring but also allowed authorized personnel to access camera feeds remotely, both on-site and off-site. The Axis system’s reliability and high-definition video quality contributed to maintaining a vigilant and secure environment.

3. Intruder Detection System:

To further fortify the security framework, an advanced intruder detection system was implemented. This system employed cutting-edge technology to identify and respond to any unauthorized entry attempts promptly.

Benefits and Results:

Hunters’ collaboration with British American Tobacco yielded remarkable outcomes. The comprehensive security solution we designed and maintained significantly enhanced the client’s ability to safeguard their assets, personnel, and sensitive information. The following benefits were achieved:

Seamless Integration: Our integrated approach ensured that the Access Control, IP CCTV, and Intruder Systems worked harmoniously to provide a robust security network.
Remote Accessibility: The remote access feature of the Axis IP CCTV system allowed authorized personnel to monitor the premises even when off-site, enabling swift responses to potential security incidents.
Efficiency and Convenience: The Nedap Access Control System streamlined access management, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring that only authorized individuals gained entry to restricted areas.
Enhanced Deterrence: The visible presence of the comprehensive security system acted as a strong deterrent against potential security threats.
