Services
ANPR Systems
Our ANPR systems automate vehicle identification and revenue collection for hospitals, hotels, and airports. Using advanced optical character recognition, these systems track entries and exits, generate audit trails, and integrate with payment platforms. Clients benefit from reduced manual oversight and maximised income streams through precise, real-time data capture.
Access Control
Bespoke access control solutions regulate entry to facilities using biometric verification, keypads, or card readers. Designed for airports and logistics hubs, these systems prevent unauthorised access while maintaining smooth traffic flow. Features include remote monitoring, intrusion detection, and compliance with CPNI security standards for critical infrastructure.
Maintenance Contracts
We offer flexible maintenance programs for all access control and parking equipment, including third-party brands. Services range from emergency repairs to scheduled inspections, with contract terms tailored to operational scale. Clients receive priority response times and extended equipment lifespans through proactive servicing by certified engineers.
Biometric Security
Our patented biometric systems use fingerprint or facial recognition to secure revenue and access points. Deployed in leisure parks and airports, these solutions prevent fraud, track user activity, and enforce child safety protocols. Integration with back-office software ensures seamless data synchronisation and real-time access management.
Software Solutions
Cerberus develops tailored software for revenue management, stock control, and back-office operations. Clients like Vodafone and Amazon vendors benefit from scalable platforms that automate workflows, reduce errors, and enhance data security. Our systems prioritise interoperability with existing hardware and compliance with industry-specific regulations.
