Hertfordshire County Council, UK has installed a Cale BriParc Pay at Exit barrier system at Aldenham Country Park.

The Country Park previously had a problem with visitors wishing to leave the facility after staff had left for the evening. This was particularly acute during the summer evenings, when many visitors would stay late and enjoy some of popular walks offered at the site. Late exit visitors who experienced difficulties had to use an emergency telephone to call out a mobile security officer, who could be attending a site some miles away from Aldenham.

To alleviate these problems, Cale BriParc installed a Bewator telecode remote intercom. Should a visitor require any assistance at the exit barrier and the site is unattended, the driver can press one of the pre-programmed speed dial buttons to contact relevant personnel at a remote location on their mobile phone.

The system offers the ability to remotely open the barrier via any mobile telephone or landline, without having to attend site. This is achieved by inputting a simple numeric code into their handset, allowing the barrier system to be fully operational at all times. This means that Aldenham Country Park does not lose any important revenue where previously it may have been necessary to leave the barrier in the raised position at the end of the attended working day or pay expensive call out charges for a security officer to attend site.

With the experience Cale Access has gained over the years, Cale Access is today in a position where the company’s products have been installed in about 50 countries around the world.
