Before the proposal
What decides your project
The inputs that size the work, then what a proposal includes and what you supply.
Which doors and who enters?
Every opening is surveyed with facilities and IT to map public doors, staff-only corridors, and after-hours access.
Keep the current security gear?
Often yes. Supportable panels, cameras, and cabling stay; readers and locks can usually be added to working doors.
How much footage is kept?
The on-site recorder is designed to your retention policy, typically thirty to ninety days, with optional cloud backup on priority cameras.
How are badges revoked?
Facilities issue or revoke credentials when someone leaves. A disabled directory account can kill the badge immediately.

Access Control & Security
Digitalholics designs and installs commercial access control, telephone and video entry, and cameras for offices, clinics, warehouses, gates, and multi-tenant buildings. We work from our Plano office for buildings in Frisco, Plano, Dallas, McKinney, Allen, and the other north Dallas–Fort Worth suburbs.
A former employee still has a working door code, and nobody can say who opened the warehouse on a given night. That is usually why we get called. We replace shared keys and sticky-note codes with badges, cameras, and a door-by-door log the office manager can read.
Telephone and video entry covers a gate or a multi-tenant lobby. A visitor places a call from the pedestal or the lobby panel. The tenant answers on a handset or a video screen and releases the gate or the door. We survey each opening, then specify the reader, the lock, and the entry panel for who needs to pass and when.
Credentials can be a card, a fob, a phone, a keypad code, or a fingerprint reader where the opening calls for it. Facilities can issue or revoke a badge when someone leaves, without rekeying the building. Visitor badges can expire on a schedule so a contractor does not keep an old code.
Cameras on the commercial system write to an on-site video recorder (an NVR) sized to your retention policy, and a door event can call up the matching camera. Homes that need cameras and locks, rather than a commercial door schedule, are covered under surveillance and security. The cable and the closet those cameras ride on are network infrastructure. Building audio that shares the control processor is on commercial audio visual.
Digitalholics holds Texas Alarm License B12713501. Design, installation, and service stay with one Plano team. Where a system is set up to summon law enforcement and the city requires an alarm permit, we submit that permit with the door survey. We are a Control4 Certified Dealer. During design, we confirm whether the proposed door controller can integrate with the existing lighting and climate system.
When you compare access-control installers, ask for design documents, cable certification test reports, labels, as-built drawings, a door schedule, training on issuing and revoking badges, and who you call after handover. We include those items in the proposal. Office communication hardware that often shares a door system is covered on the office intercom systems page.

The Craft
Every credential maps to one audited door
Readers are chosen per door — glass storefront, reception, warehouse man-door — and wired back to panels whose event log answers who, where, and when. Revoking a badge takes one action and takes effect immediately. ### Match access options to the building | Access need | Options to discuss | | --- | --- | | Staff-only corridors and after-hours entry | Card or phone credentials on the doors that need them, with a door-by-door audit trail. | | Visitors and contractors | Time-boxed visitor badges. | | Multi-zone buildings | Optional fingerprint or face readers as part of the Premium Enterprise Security scope. | The door survey establishes who needs access to each opening and when; readers, locks, and panels are then specified for that opening.

Our Process
Survey to badge revocation
Complimentary phone consultation
We start on a call with whoever owns the building and the badge list: door count, which openings are public versus staff-only, who needs after-hours access, and whether an alarm permit is already in place. No charge, no obligation. If it is a fit, we book the site survey.
Site survey
We walk every door, camera location, and existing panel with facilities and IT. We map who needs after-hours access, which openings are public versus staff-only, and whether the current alarm permit is still valid. You leave with a written scope.
Design and permitting
Our designers specify readers, locks, cameras, and the on-site video recorder (an NVR) sized to your retention policy. We hold Texas Alarm License B12713501, so we submit the alarm permit where the city requires one. Drawings show cable paths, door hardware, and how new badges get issued.
Occupied-facility install
Our own technicians pull cable and mount readers around your operating hours. Cameras go up on the same visit. Work can run evenings or weekends so the floor stays open. Existing locks stay in service until the new credential is tested.
Commissioning and handover
We enroll the first set of badges and test each door and camera. If you chose monitoring, we confirm alarms reach the station. Facilities gets a live walkthrough on issuing and revoking credentials. You receive as-built drawings and a labeled door schedule.
Local support
The same Plano team that installed the system handles firmware, added doors, and a badge that will not read. Hours are Mon–Fri 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM · Sat 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Monitoring is optional.
Industries
Buildings that must account for their doors
Offices, clinics, warehouses, and mixed-use buildings each fail differently when a door cannot be accounted for.
Corporate offices
Office floors mix public lobbies with staff-only corridors and after-hours access that has to be logged. We put card or phone credentials on the doors that matter and pair them with cameras at entries. Facilities gets a door-by-door audit trail. Visitor badges can be time-boxed so a contractor does not keep an old code.
Healthcare practices
Clinics need a front desk that can see the door and staff corridors patients cannot wander. We separate public waiting areas from clinical doors. Footage stays on an on-site recorder (an NVR), and the practice manager can export a clip when an audit asks who opened a chart room.
Commercial and industrial
Warehouses, shop floors, and multi-building sites have more doors and more after-hours traffic. Cameras have to cover the actual perimeter, including docks and gates. We scale credentialed entry across many openings and can manage more than one site from the same platform. Emergency lockdown is designed with the door hardware.
Smart-building suites
Occupied mixed-use buildings and owner-occupied commercial suites often already run Control4 or Savant for lighting and climate. During design, we confirm whether the proposed door controller can integrate with that lighting and climate system. Mobile credentials and temporary codes replace a key box in the vestibule.

Common Questions
Questions about access control & security
01How much does access control and security cost?
There is no price list. After a complimentary phone consultation we write a proposal sized to door count, camera coverage, monitoring, and whether the system must talk to Control4 or Savant. You see the scope before any equipment is ordered. Call (469) 666-0747 to schedule that call.
02Do I need to replace my existing security system for new access control?
Often no. We audit the panels, cameras, and cabling already in the building and keep what is supportable. Readers and locks can usually be added to working doors. We will tell you when a recorder, camera, or panel should be replaced because it cannot talk to the new credential system.
03How long does access control installation take?
Most occupied offices take one to two weeks on site. Multi-building or high-door-count jobs take two to three weeks and are phased so the floor stays open. New construction follows the builder's schedule. We can work evenings or weekends. A written timeline is part of the proposal.
04Can you integrate access control with my existing Control4 or smart building system?
We are a Control4 Certified Dealer and also install Savant. During design, we confirm whether the proposed door controller can integrate with the existing lighting and climate system. The proposal states the result of that check before any equipment is ordered.
05Can access control integrate with our HR or directory system?
If you already run a staff directory, we configure the access platform so a disabled account can kill the badge when that person leaves. During design we confirm which directory you use and what we can sync. We test that path at commissioning. We do not claim a universal connector for every HR tool.
06How do you ensure cybersecurity protection for access control systems?
Cameras and door controllers sit on their own network slices (VLANs), separated from guest Wi-Fi and office laptops. We use encrypted connections, change default passwords, and write down the addressing. Firmware stays current as part of support. We apply the same discipline to the building networks we install.
07What is included in a commercial access control installation?
We survey each opening, then specify credential readers, locks, network cameras, and an on-site recorder around the building's access rules and retention policy. Facilities receives badge enrollment, door and camera testing, a live walkthrough, and a written door schedule. Existing supportable panels, cameras, cabling, and locks can stay when they work with the new design.
08What is a telephone entry system?
A telephone or video entry panel sits at a gate or in a multi-tenant lobby. A visitor calls a tenant from that panel. The tenant answers on a handset or a video screen and releases the gate or the door. We survey the opening, specify the panel and the lock, and test a release at handover. Corridor paging and office intercoms that share the same cable paths are a related scope, not a substitute for the entry panel.
09Which credentials can a commercial door use?
A door can use a card, a fob, a phone, a keypad code, or a fingerprint reader when the opening calls for it. Facilities issues and revokes those credentials without rekeying the building. Visitor badges can expire on a schedule. During design we confirm which credential the staff will actually carry, because a badge nobody wears is just a new lock with an old problem.
10How do cameras tie into the door system?
Door events and cameras sit on the same platform when the design calls for it, so a manager can see the opening that just released. Footage stays on an on-site recorder sized to the retention policy. Cameras and door controllers ride their own network segment. Homes that need cameras and locks, rather than a commercial door schedule, start at surveillance and security.
11Can a house use the same access control approach?
A house can use a phone credential, a smart lock, and cameras, and that work is scoped as a home, not as a multi-tenant door schedule. Start with surveillance and security for a residence. A commercial building keeps the door-by-door survey, the entry panel, and the badge list on this scope. The complimentary phone consultation is where we separate the two.
12Do you install access control across Dallas–Fort Worth?
Yes. The Plano crew installs credentialed doors, telephone and video entry, and commercial cameras in Frisco, Plano, Dallas, McKinney, Allen, and the other north Dallas–Fort Worth suburbs. Digitalholics holds Texas Alarm License B12713501. The complimentary phone consultation is where we count doors and confirm whether an alarm permit is already in place.
