“NACD are proud to be associated with SBD’s drive to improve the quality of the lives of the people in residential buildings”

The Hertfordshire-based business provides visitor door entry, access control and CCTV solutions for residential, commercial and local government developments by working closely with developers, building contractors, construction companies, housing associations, as well as electrical, security and building services consultants.

Five of their electronic door entry products have achieved the rigorous security standards set by Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), which certifies systems and technology that meet high standards of security.

These SBD listed NACD products are:

• IPGUARD PRO 4G/IP smart visitor door entry panel
• IPGUARD MINI 4G/IP smart visitor door entry panel
• NPH300 visitor door entry panel calling video monitor
• EVE 196-X3 access control door controller
• IPVIEW IP/PoE door entry panel

NACD has delivered its bespoke design, installation and maintenance services on both large and small projects, including social housing, private sale residential projects, schools, office blocks and industrial estates in London, the South East and around the UK.

Each of NACD SBD listed products has attained the LPCB’s Loss Prevention Standards (LPS) 1175 Issue 7 Security Rating 2 specification to resist forced entry using bodily physical force and a range of hand tools, including some that make noise. In addition, four of the products have each achieved LPS 2081 Issue 1 SRB requirements to resist intruders attempting to use stealth to gain entry using a selection of tools that can be used noiselessly and be easily concealed. All these products were tested and certified as critical components within doorsets tested to LPS 1175 Issue 7 SR2 which were provided by another SBD member company, Premier Security and Fire Consultants, of Ilford, Essex.
