In large, sprawling new buildings, such as a modern 24/7 film studio, a comprehensive security concept is essential. Different user groups require finely graded access authorisations, while valuable technology, sensitive data and people must also be effectively protected.

Implementing such a networked security concept in new buildings ensures a high level of security for many user groups without compromising usability. Centralising all systems and information shortens response times, minimises false alarms and simplifies processes. Overall, integrated alarm and intrusion management provides the foundation for efficient, future-proof building protection.

Access controll

Electronic access control forms the basis of the security concept. Unlike mechanical key systems, it enables access rights to be assigned with great precision according to person, area, and time. For instance, each team is granted access only to their own work areas, while other zones remain locked to prevent unauthorised access – and thus theft, sabotage or misuse of data. Authorisations are managed centrally and can be adjusted or revoked immediately if necessary.

Although access control and fire safety systems must work together, local regulations vary. In Sweden, for instance, systems must always permit evacuation when people are in the building. NOX meets this need by monitoring escape route doors and triggering an immediate alert in the event of an issue. Locks must also comply with local regulations, which often require separate day and night modes for access and security. Elsewhere, simpler standards may apply, such as requiring only one compliant lock. NOX adapts to all cases, ensuring secure escape routes without compromising access control.

Burglary protection

The burglar alarm system protects the property during and outside of operating hours. Alarms are triggered by unauthorized access after hours and by forced entry attempts, such as broken windows or forced doors, at any time. Valid access credentials prevent false alarms. When an alarm is triggered, the system activates IP cameras to provide visual verification and an appropriate response.

Central security management

The close networking of all components enables efficient security management. Central alarm management: all alarms converge in a central security management platform. Security personnel can operate all connected systems uniformly via the control centre, controlling doors, acknowledging alarms and initiating measures. Predefined alarm plans automatically trigger stored measures. This integrated alarm management system enables a fast, coordinated response as all relevant information is available centrally. Practical example: Warner Brothers Film Studio

Use Case: film studio Warner Brothers

A comprehensive security solution from NOX SYSTEMS was successfully implemented in a new Warner Brothers film studio in Sweden, planned in collaboration with Monitor Larm, who were responsible for its realisation. All access readers, cameras and detectors are networked on a single platform. User frequency ranged from regular to sporadic – many of the registered users only accessed the premises a few times a year. Against this background, it was essential to have a particularly user-friendly and fault-tolerant system design.

The security approach included installing an access control and intrusion detection solution with NOX SYSTEMS components. Great importance was attached to automated user guidance and an intuitive user interface to enable users with little technical expertise to safely and easily operate the system.

A flexible and expandable solution was sought and found

The installed systems included the NOX SYS, a hybrid intrusion alarm and access control panel, and various expansion modules for connecting additional systems, such as access control readers. These combine all systems (access, intrusion, fire and building technology) and offer open interfaces for third-party systems. This eliminates the need for isolated solutions, with a common control panel and cabling covering all functions. The system is flexibly scalable. Thanks to modern IP technology, the platform remains open for expansion — new sensors or automation functions can be integrated at any time. The system is characterised by its user-friendliness and automation. Processes such as time-controlled arming/disarming or lighting control can be programmed, and the intuitive user interface makes operation easy. The solution also meets the highest security standards (e.g. EN 50131 Grade 3 and VdS Class C). This makes it ideal for a film studio, which has sensitive data and valuables. In the film studio, the solution was supplemented with electronic door handles, a video surveillance system and a separate fire alarm system. Electric locks and automatic door openers were also integrated to ensure a high degree of automation and barrier-free access.

Conclusion: scalable and flexible

The systems could be tailored directly to the architectural and technical requirements of the new building without any complications. Close communication with the facility manager meant that individual requests could be taken into account and implemented at an early stage, and the integration went smoothly. The customer’s feedback was consistently positive – the systems not only met, but exceeded, expectations.

Overall, this project demonstrates that well-thought-out planning, modular technology and close communication with the operator Monitor Alarm  can create a security solution that meets complex requirements in terms of user-friendliness, functionality and scalability. NOX SYSTEMS proved to be a central technological component in the successful implementation.

• Partner: Monitor Larm & Bevakning

Öckerökronan Fastighets AB is a Swedish real estate company based in Öckerö. Since 1975, the company has been managing and leasing both owned and leased industrial properties, including facilities on the premises of Ö-Varvet, its largest tenant.

Managing a wide variety of properties, changing user groups and maintaining high standards of operation and safety places considerable demands on both organization and security.

COO Andreas Djerf, together with Facility Manager Anders Hagman, is responsible for overseeing operations. Their responsibilities include maintenance, expansion projects, financial oversight, and coordination of security technology – including modernization and upgrading of alarm systems, access control, and locking systems.

The company operates a wide range of buildings and facilities at various addresses, supplemented by extensive outdoor areas and numerous docking points. In addition to its permanent staff, the company regularly employs temporary workers. This complex infrastructure requires a highly organized approach, particularly with regard to the consistent implementation of standardized security processes.

Tenant Ö-Varvet uses a centralized system that links all security-related components across the property portfolio. This greatly simplifies administration and improves efficiency.

The NOX system used offers a flexible combination of alarm and access control functionality and also supports various site monitoring tasks – features that are actively used.

The decision to implement NOX was based amongst others on these practical benefits. With the integrated Security Information Management System (SIMS), all properties can be visualized – including interactive floor plans for easy navigation.

The current level of security is considered adequate. Traditional keys are increasingly being replaced by flexible access readers that allow precise control and traceability. It’s easy to verify who entered what area and when. The investment has paid off.

These improvements reflect Öckerökronan Fastighets AB’s ongoing commitment to securing its properties and ensuring the safety of its tenants and users – now and in the future.

1. In SIMS (Security Information Management System), we can see all our addresses visually – complete with interactive maps that make navigation easy.
2. The system has little, or none limitations regarding size and special functionality.
3. It’s an advanced system that’s still easy to understand and use.

When the Porsche Centre Gothenburg decided to upgrade its security system, it set high standards for security and flexibility. The solution was an integrated security system with intrusion detection, access control and video surveillance.

Owning a Porsche is a dream for many people. The Porsche Centre in Gothenburg, with its extensive car showroom, is a significant asset that required a new, modern security system. The customer was looking for a state-of-the-art system that could be developed as needed.

The Porsche Centre chose Monitor Larm for its ability to deliver an intelligent, flexible and advanced security solution that reliably protects the valuable assets on site and within the premises.

Monitor Larm’s system provides perimeter surveillance with cameras, analytics and alarms directly connected to the central alarm station. Behind the walls is the NOX intrusion detection and access control system. In addition, the NOX SYSTEMS solution offers an intuitive user interface for easy setup and management via computer or app. Despite its advanced features, the system remains economical and affordable.

Easy-to-navigate security

The security system allows users to manage alarms, view footage and ensure maximum security through the app. This makes it difficult for intruders to enter the premises to damage or steal cars and parts without being detected.

For a facility like the Porsche Centre in Gothenburg, the ability to easily adjust alarm settings is critical, especially as the team frequently hosts evening events on site. Thanks to the user-friendly and flexible service, they can now manage everything themselves through the app. There’s no need to call technicians to change or reset settings, saving both time and money.

Visually appealing

An aesthetically pleasing installation was also important to Porsche. With careful attention to detail, hidden installations and readers that blend seamlessly into the walls, Monitor Larm met these requirements.

Mobile management from anywhere

Another benefit is the ability to receive goods at night. If a problem arises, users can manage everything through the app. If an employee forgets to lock a door, the manager can use the app to easily identify unprotected areas without having to visit the office.

Modern and easy access management

By using tags instead of keys, any lost tag can be quickly deactivated from the app. If the tag is found later, reactivating it is just as easy. And when an employee leaves, there’s no need to collect keys; simply revoke the tag’s access rights. This solution is much simpler, safer and more cost-effective than traditional vehicle keys and locks, which must be replaced if lost or stolen.

Maximum flexibility with one-time codes

The Monitor Larm system adapts to the company’s changing needs. Since its installation, new security needs have arisen – such as the ability to generate one-time codes for customers.

With these codes, customers now have the flexibility to drop off or pick up their vehicle for service outside of business hours. With the one-time code, they can enter the facility, complete their task and leave. When the customer leaves, the alarm system at the Gothenburg Porsche Centre is automatically reactivated. It’s a clear win-win situation for both parties.

The integrated security system at the Porsche Centre Gothenburg offers flexibility, user-friendliness and high security standards:

• Increased security: Effective protection through alarm system, access control and camera surveillance – easily managed through an app.
• Operational flexibility: Events and security processes can be easily adapted thanks to mobile solutions.
• Time and cost savings: Intuitive app control and tags replace keys, reducing administration costs.
• Improved customer service: One-time access codes allow vehicles to be dropped off and collected outside opening hours.

Together with the dealer ARAS Security and the manufacturer NOX SYSTEMS, Monitor Larm has created a scalable and modern security solution that meets the current and future requirements of the Porsche Centre.
