Security & TEC
Technology Enabled Care (TEC)
Technology-enabled care can be a traditional warden call system with pull cords and pendants or more advanced applications that can monitor aspects of someone’s wellbeing remotely. At Karma Electrical we have experience with all the main manufacturers and staff are trained on the settings and scenarios that may be present in the field. We are Legrand Tynetec-approved installers.

Access Control and Door Entry
Access control is a system that controls who is entering your site and when. There are options which range from the more conventional fobs/swipe cards to the latest virtual key applications. Systems can be accessed remotely via a portal to manage keys, approve or bar access to certain people as well as a log to view activity. Karma Electrical are 3rd party accredited for Access Control with the Security Systems and Alarm Inspection Board (SSAIB).
- Fob, swipe card or phone app access options – three examples of different way to access your home. Fobs and swipe cards have been commonplace for many years now, but app access is becoming more popular, especially in new builds.
- Remote access to edit users – an essential tool for building owners and landlords. This is not only a pro from a security point view but also a financial one to save visits to site.
- Various locking options available – Traditional electronic strikes, high security mag locks or 3-point motorised internal of the door are just some examples..
- Door Entry is essential for multi-dwelling buildings and comes hand in hand with access control. Audio or video options are available and door panels can be decorative or robust depending on the setting.
- Traditional handset systems – Entrotec, CAME, Videx and Fermax systems installed.
- Mobile phone-linked systems – We work closely with the Unloc platform that sits on Salto hardware.
- IP Systems – Legrand is an IP system that works on a fully wired network.
- Wireless Systems – Karma works closely with Intratone, a system that gives video calls to residents via a pre-paid GSM module.
- Video or audio – Whether you are specifying video or audio we can cater to your needs.
CCTV
Closed Circuit Television or VSS (video surveillance system) is the use of cameras to enhance the security of a site. Standalone IP systems have been around for many years now and are commonplace, but platform systems are now becoming more widely used. The use of the platform system can bring multiple sites together on one portal to allow them to be administered from one place. Granting/denying access to specific sites/cameras, downloading footage remotely as well as the option for cloud storage are some of the advantages the platform set up can provide. Karma Electrical are 3rd party accredited for CCTV with the Security Systems and Alarm Inspection Board (SSAIB).
- IP systems – Industry standard now and the majority of installations will be of this type.
- PTZ (Pan, Tilt and Zoom) cameras- These cameras can track movements and be set to roam around larger sites from one camera.
- Platform applications – Ideal for customers with multiple sites and users.
- Remote access – No need for site visits to review footage which saves time and money when using your system.
- ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) – Suitable for sites where the public may visit in vehicles.
Automatic Doors
Automation of a door can be beneficial to communal and dwelling doors. There are various types that fit into the specifics of each site and can make a real difference to someone who has trouble managing a traditional door. Karma Electrical engineers are all qualified to ADIA BS EN 16005 and we are members of the Automatic Door Installation Association (ADIA).
- Swing door openers – These types of units can retrofit to a traditional door and can be fitted to communal or dwelling doors, different units apply to different settings.
