An Introduction to Esser
Esser’s philosophy is to work in partnership with its customers ensuring
the best route to market for you. Either through its network of system INTEGRATION
integrators, or its major projects and service departments, supporting
security systems throughout every stage of building evolution.

The name Esser has been synonymous with that of quality within the
professional security industry since 1973. Experience and innovation
have been key to the success within continental Europe, driving Esser to
be one of the leading manufacturers of security systems.

The Esser brand ethos is to ensure that all of its products and systems
ACCESS CONTROL
exceed customer expectations, in ensuring that: reliability, high levels of
service, rich feature sets, and the overall solution are at the foundation
of what we do best.

Reliability
A security solution is only as good as the last time it went wrong.
Unreliability could mean that your business will be under threat from the
very system designed to protect it. If part of your solution is inoperable, INTRUDER

it can cause loss of goodwill from both customers and staff, not to
mention valuable time and resources to rectify. To meet the demands and
pressures placed upon a system, we ensure reliability by exhaustively
researching, developing and testing all of our products. Reliability
doesn’t stop there. We invest heavily in training people we know are
capable of professionally installing our equipment so that you get the
best value for money possible.

Intruder: Overall Security Solution

INT-20 System integration is becoming increasingly important in a building’s

Reson8 compatibility and getting different manufacturers of security systems to

accept responsibility for their products not communicating correctly. We
rigorously test all our products to ensure total compatibility. Knowing
that you have one point of contact for all your electronic security needs

WINMAG
WINMAG has been specifically developed to answer the
above questions and many more besides. WINMAG is
the culmination of countless man-years of investment,
research and development in bridging the gulf between
different security applications and bringing them
together on a single, solid system, enabling the user to
interact and manage all aspects of building security.

WINMAG can be tailored to meet your exact needs. Its

simple user interface affords the visualisation of events,
and corresponding actions seamlessly.

Networked Access Control
There has never been a greater need for security as there
is currently today. Modern organisations have their
individual needs and priorities, many of which are met
with a significant amount of investment. The Esser
access control hardware, coupled with our powerful, yet
user-friendly MultiAccess™ software, enables you to
treat your system as an asset and not as an overhead. It
is flexible and yet powerful enough to cater for the
needs of the small, single door applications, to the large,
complex multi-door systems incorporating Wide Area
Networks (WAN).
Access control isn’t just about ingress or egress to a
building. Much of the time it is about providing differing
levels of access to various parts of a building, sometimes
at different times of the day, further complicated by
what day it is. And making sure that your business isn’t
the victim of its own systems. The Esser access control
solution has been developed in partnership with
business, listening to your needs and tailoring our
offering to meet these demands and ensuring that we
have the right solution for your application.
The ACS-8 is at the heart of our networked access
control system. It can monitor and control complex
systems affording a range of access rights that can be
implemented by the user, accommodating up to 999
doors and or 65,500 users per site. Its innovative
networkability can enable many sites to be connected
across a WAN affording full control from one central
point, so that you are always in control of where, when
and who is accessing your building.

Networked Intruder Protection
Effective protection against burglary,
unauthorised access and sabotage requires
comprehensive Intruder solution. The Esser Intruder
range includes sensors, control units and network
capabilities which, when combined, provide effective
protection for a variety of buildings from a small
commercial office to a large industrial application.
Intruder security is not just the detection
unauthorised individuals. It is an attempt to balance the
everyday needs of your business with a level of security
that keeps your staff and property safe from harm. The
Esser Intruder solution has been developed
partnership with business, listening to your needs and
tailoring our offering to meet these demands, ensuring
that we have the right solution for your business to
operate in a safe, secure environment.
As no two applications are exactly the same Esser has
developed security systems which meet a variety of
needs. Our systems are designed with a flexibility which
will enable your installer to ‘tailor’ your security system
to suit your individual needs. As your business develops
so too will your building and security requirements. This
evolution can prove costly. Esser products have been
designed to accommodate future changes to the
security system at a minimum of cost.

Networked CCTV Solutions

Many of the challenges faced by managers of CCTV
systems come from the often conflicting demands made
of those systems to simultaneously: record significant
images of high quality; store video economically;
retrieve significant pictures efficiently; provide evidence-
quality images; and retain footage until it is no longer
needed.
