Case studies

Testimonials

  • “Michelin wanted to secure their main gates and areas that were closed to the public. Once Net2 was installed and they saw how simple it was to use, the decision was made to extend the system to more doors around the site.”

    Richard McCredie

    Installer, Midlands Electrical Fire and Security Ltd

  • “The security team had no problems learning Net2. The software is intuitive and they picked it up really easily. It’s a great solution for us as we now use the reports to monitor staff and guest access around the site.”

    Mike Donald

    Senior Risk Manager, Michelin (Dundee)
