Client reviews
What clients say.
★★★★★
After calling numerous companies about getting a security system installed on our apartment building, I was pleasantly surprised when the kind people at Three Factor not only answered, but were actually knowledgeable and very helpful.
★★★★★
Our company had surveillance cameras installed throughout the perimeter of our warehouse by Three Factor Security and they did a great job with installation and setup.
★★★★★
They installed a new system and all new cameras and integrated everything seamlessly. They went above and beyond in every conversation, taking extra time to answer all of my questions at every stage of the process.
Common questions
Clear answers before the project begins.
These answers explain practical planning considerations for this service. Final recommendations are based on a professional assessment, the existing infrastructure, the property’s operating needs, and the systems selected.
How should gates, cameras, and intercoms work together?
Plan vehicle and pedestrian entry separately, then coordinate the relevant view, visitor call, credential, opening status, and authorized release. Hardware, network, power, and platform compatibility must support the intended workflow. A clear view of a gate is only one part of controlled entry.
Can license-plate recognition control a vehicle gate?
Supported LPR and access platforms can participate in a vehicle-entry workflow when the camera position, recognition conditions, permissions, and gate interface are designed together. Plate capture should be evaluated separately from a general lot overview, with clear rules for data retention and authorized use.
What matters when an entrance is far from the main building?
Review pathway length, available power, communications, equipment exposure, mounting, and maintenance access. Network or wireless options depend on actual site conditions. Backup arrangements should cover the devices and connections needed for the intended entry and recording functions.
What should an existing gate upgrade include?
Inspect the operator, opening, controls, entry devices, wiring, power, and supported safety features before adding new credentials or remote release. Coordinate required specialist work and approvals, then test the agreed operating behavior. Retaining a gate does not mean every existing component is suitable for integration.

Doors, gates & access coordination
The opening, hardware, power, network, credential, and release method must work as one.
Access projects often cross several responsibilities. We define the security-system scope and coordinate supported readers, intercoms, locks, operators, request-to-exit devices, contacts, fire/life-safety interfaces, network, power, schedules, and user administration with the responsible property team and trades.

- Normal entry, visitor, delivery, and after-hours workflows
- Fail-safe, fail-secure, emergency release, and code requirements
- Gate safety devices, vehicle loops, intercom, and remote release
- Credential ownership, permissions, event history, and offboarding
