Buildings are becoming increasingly smart. Camera surveillance, access control, sensors, air quality measurements, intercom systems and building management are increasingly integrated into one central environment. This creates more insight, better security and more control over the daily use of a building.

Where building technology used to be mainly deployed for security purposes, it is now increasingly used to automate processes, manage buildings more efficiently and offer users a better experience. Think of access control, air quality, occupancy measurements, temperature monitoring and smart notifications.

B/Focused supports organisations in designing, implementing and managing smart building solutions where network, connectivity, camera surveillance, sensor technology and building management come together in one future-proof environment.

Why do organisations choose smart buildings & building technology?

More insight and safety

Camera surveillance, access control and notifications help organisations gain more insight into activities in and around buildings without unnecessary complexity.

Smart access control

Manage access for employees, visitors, suppliers or tenants centrally and determine who has access to specific spaces or buildings and when.

Insight into building use

Sensors can collect information on temperature, air quality, movement, occupancy and other environmental factors that contribute to a more pleasant working environment.

Integration with existing infrastructure

Modern building technology connects to networks, internet connections, WiFi environments and other digital facilities, making management easier.

Ideal for multi-tenant business premises

For multi-tenant business premises, multi-tenant environments and locations with multiple users, smart building solutions offer extra insight, safety and ease of management.

Ready for future developments

Smart sensors, building management and integrated platforms form the basis for future applications around automation, sustainability and data-driven building management.

Which smart building solutions do we support?

Camera surveillance & monitoring

Modern camera solutions not only provide image recording, but also insight into activities, incidents and building use. Camera surveillance can be combined with access control, notifications and central management platforms.

Access control automation

Centrally manage who has access to buildings, spaces, technical facilities or multi-tenant business premises. Access rights can be flexibly adjusted for employees, visitors, suppliers and tenants.

Intercom & door communication

Modern intercom systems make it possible to identify visitors remotely, grant access and centralise communication within one environment, possibly also integrated into your Voice over IP communication solution.

Air quality & environmental sensors

Sensors can continuously collect information on temperature, air quality, humidity and other environmental factors that contribute to a healthy and comfortable working environment or to protection against disasters such as water damage.

Reference case: From separate systems to integrated building management

For various environments, including multi-tenant business premises, we support organisations in combining camera surveillance, access control, intercom systems, network facilities and central management platforms within one integrated environment.

In addition, sensors are increasingly being used to monitor temperature, air quality, humidity, occupancy and other environmental factors. By making information from various systems centrally available, more insight is created into safety, building use, comfort and management.

Modern building technology also offers possibilities to build automations that connect multiple systems with each other. Think of automatically activating ventilation based on air quality, notifications based on sensor measurements, integrations between access control and camera surveillance or combining communication, security and building management systems within one platform.

This creates a future-proof environment in which camera surveillance, access control, sensors, communication and automation come together within one managed solution.

Frequently asked questions

Do you also support existing installations?

Yes. Not every organisation starts with a completely new building or platform. Existing camera surveillance, access control, sensors and building technology can often be integrated, expanded or optimised within a future-proof environment.

Do you also support management and maintenance?

Yes. In addition to implementation, we can support management, monitoring, updates, expansions and future developments within smart building environments.

Can building solutions be integrated with telephony?

Yes. Intercom systems and door communication can often be integrated with VoIP solutions, mobile devices and other communication platforms.

Is building technology interesting for multi-tenant business premises?

Yes. Especially within multi-tenant business premises, camera surveillance, access control, central communication and tenant-related automations provide more insight, safety and ease of management.

Do you also support building automations?

Yes. Data from different systems can be used to build automations that simplify processes or generate notifications. This allows multiple technologies and platforms to work together within one integrated solution.

Can systems be integrated with each other?

Yes. Modern platforms make it possible to combine camera surveillance, access control, intercom systems, sensors, notifications, networks and other technologies within one management environment.

Which sensors can be applied?

Depending on the situation, sensors can be used for temperature measurements, air quality, humidity, movement, occupancy, door openings and other environmental factors.

Are cameras still the most important application?

No. Camera surveillance remains important, but more and more organisations combine cameras with access control, sensors, communication platforms and automations within one integrated environment.

What do you understand by building technology?

Building technology includes solutions such as camera surveillance, access control, intercom systems, environmental sensors, air quality measurements, occupancy measurements and other smart applications that contribute to safety, insight and efficient building management.
