Austin Stacks GAA Football and Hurling Club have fantastic dressing rooms and gym facilities for their members, built in 2005. But until recently they found they were not getting the full potential from the facility: one of their key holders had to be present at all times to let members into the gym, which was very restrictive.
The solution
In January 2011 ADA installed a state-of-the-art access control and CCTV system. Now every paid-up member is presented with a key fob that lets them into the gym at any time, without a key holder having to be present. The system also keeps a record of who is using the gym. The administrator can, if required, limit the access times and areas for any individual member, and can cancel any fob at any time in the event of membership not being paid or any other disciplinary issue.
“We are delighted with our new system because it allows maximum accessibility to our gym and reduces the time spent there by voluntary caretakers.”
All members know the gym is for their use and that it is their responsibility to ensure no damage is done while they are on the premises. Should any issue arise, it is easy to identify who gained access to the building and at what time. The system can be tailored to suit any requirement, depending on the number of doors to be controlled or the number of areas to be covered by CCTV.
