Inner Range Integriti Installation & Support in Sydney

What Inner Range Integriti actually does

1. 1

   Access control and intruder alarm on one controller

   One database, one credential, one event log. Cardholders, door permissions, alarm area permissions and time schedules are defined once and apply everywhere. A valid badge on a perimeter door can disarm the area behind it for a permitted user; an invalid one leaves it armed and logs the attempt. When somebody leaves, cancelling one record removes both their door access and their ability to disarm — the failure mode two separate systems produce constantly.

2. 2

   Areas, permission groups and time schedules

   The real work of an Integriti design is the permission structure, not the hardware. Areas are defined around how the building is actually used — a wing that arms independently, a store always armed outside a delivery window, a plant room nobody enters unaccompanied. Permission groups attach people to those areas and doors, on schedules. Done properly, adding a new staff category later is a two-minute change; done badly it becomes a per-person exception list nobody can audit.

3. 3

   Credentials — cards, fobs, PINs, mobile and biometric

   Integriti supports proximity and smart cards, fobs, PINs, mobile credentials and biometric readers, mixed by door. Mobile credentials remove the issue-and-recover problem and usually carry ongoing licensing; secure smart cards are the stronger choice where cloning is a genuine concern. We size the mix against your population and turnover rather than defaulting to the cheapest per head.

4. 4

   Lockdown, duress and emergency functions

   One-touch lockdown from a defined trigger — button, key-switch, keypad code or credential — with a documented door-by-door sequence: which doors secure, which stay free for egress, what is announced, what is logged, who is notified. Duress codes and devices integrate into the same system, so an activation is an event in the same log rather than a separate siren nobody can correlate.

5. 5

   Integration with video, lifts, intercoms and building systems

   Integriti integrates with the major video management platforms, so an access event can bookmark footage and a door alarm can bring the right camera up. Lift control restricts which floors a credential can select, intercoms can release controlled doors, and plant alarms can come in as inputs so an out-of-hours fault reaches somebody. Which of these are worth doing is a design conversation — every integration adds a dependency, and some sites are better off without.

6. 6

   Reporting, administration and expansion

   Who went where, when, and what was refused — searchable, exportable, available to whoever you authorise. Administration is browser-based, so cancelling a credential takes seconds from anywhere rather than requiring someone to attend a panel. We build the initial cardholder database with you and train your administrators on the weekly realities: adding and cancelling people, changing a schedule, running a report, reading the event log. Controllers are sized with spare capacity where the budget allows, so adding doors, alarm zones or lift control later is an expander and a licence rather than a rebuild.

Where Inner Range Integriti is the right call

• Commercial sites that need access control and intruder alarm to behave as one system rather than two
• Schools and campuses needing lockdown, zoned arming and an auditable credential population
• Healthcare practices with restricted rooms, after-hours access and a genuine audit requirement
• Sites that will grow — more doors, more buildings, lift control, more credentials — without wanting to replace the platform
• Buildings where a NSW specification, insurer or head-office standard has nominated Inner Range
• Organisations that want browser-based administration and same-day credential cancellation
• Sites where local Australian product support and parts availability matter to the maintenance case

When to choose something else

• A single house or a one-door shopfront does not need Integriti. The platform's value is in areas, permissions and integration; a small site with three staff and one door is better served by a straightforward alarm and a simpler controller, and we will say so rather than sell the bigger system.
• Integriti rewards design and punishes improvisation. A system programmed as a flat list of people and doors, with no area or permission-group structure, works on day one and becomes unauditable within a year. If a quote does not describe the permission structure, it is not a design — it is a parts list.
• The software side carries ongoing cost. Licensing, version currency and any integration modules are real recurring lines, and a system left several versions behind eventually becomes an upgrade project rather than an update. We state these as their own lines in a quote so the ongoing figure is visible alongside the capital one.
• Where a client's overriding requirement is high-security policy enforcement — enforced two-person access, competency-based permissions, perimeter detection integrated into the same policy engine — Gallagher is often the better fit. We install both and have no reason to push one over the other.
• Integration is not free capability. Every video, lift or building-system integration adds a dependency that has to be maintained through both products' version changes. Worth doing when it solves a real operational problem; not worth doing because it was on a feature list.
• An Integriti system is only as good as its administration. If nobody in the organisation will own the cardholder database — issuing, cancelling, reviewing — the audit trail degrades into a record of who used to work there. That is an organisational commitment, and it is worth being honest about before buying the platform.

Taking over an existing Inner Range system

Compliance & licensing

What moves the price

Integriti is quoted door by door, itemised ex-GST. What moves the number:

• Controlled openings — each carries a reader, locking hardware, a request-to-exit device and a cable run back to the controller
• Controller and expander sizing — how much spare capacity you buy today against what expansion would cost later, which is a deliberate decision rather than a default
• Credential technology — proximity cards are cheapest per head, secure smart credentials cost more and resist cloning, mobile credentials usually carry ongoing licensing, biometrics cost more per door
• Software licensing and modules — the base licence, any integration modules and per-credential licensing, stated as their own recurring lines
• Integration scope — video, lift control, intercom and building-system integrations are each their own configuration and testing effort
• Alarm detection — whether the intruder side is new detection throughout or reuses serviceable existing devices
• Cabling and building fabric — riser access, ceiling space, fire-rated penetrations and the distance from each door back to the controller
• Programming and commissioning — the permission structure, schedules, lockdown sequence and database build, which is design work and should be priced as such

Ask for the expansion cost alongside the install cost. A controller sized with no headroom looks cheaper on the quote and is the single most expensive decision on an Integriti project.

Frequently asked

What is Inner Range Integriti?

Integriti is Inner Range's integrated access control and intruder detection platform: one controller, one database and one credential handling both doors and alarm areas. Inner Range is an Australian manufacturer, and Integriti is the platform most NSW commercial specifications are written around.

What is the difference between Integriti and Concept?

Concept is Inner Range's earlier platform, still working well on a great many NSW sites. Integriti is the current generation, with browser-based administration, much larger capacity, a broader integration range and ongoing development. We work on both. The Concept-to-Integriti path is a real project rather than a software update, and we will tell you whether your site needs to take it yet or whether the existing system has good years left.

Can you take over an Integriti system another company installed?

Yes, and it is common work. We start with an audit rather than a quote — hardware condition, software version, licensing position, how the programming is actually structured, and who currently holds the administrator credentials. Then we price adopting it as-is, restructuring the programming, or staging a replacement, with the reasoning visible so you can choose.

Does Integriti integrate with CCTV?

Yes — it integrates with the major video management platforms, so access events can bookmark footage and a door alarm can bring up the relevant camera instead of sending someone through a timeline. We design the integration up front, and we will also tell you when an integration is not worth the dependency it adds.

Can Integriti do lockdown?

Yes. We configure one-touch lockdown from a defined trigger with a documented door-by-door sequence, integrated with duress and PA where they exist. Exit paths keep free egress in lockdown — that is confirmed by testing at commissioning, not assumed — and we run it as a live test with your people present at handover.

What ongoing costs does Integriti carry?

Software licensing, any integration modules, per-credential licensing where mobile credentials are used, and keeping the software version current. We state these as their own lines in the quote rather than folding them into a capital figure, because a system left several versions behind eventually becomes an upgrade project rather than an update.

Can we administer the system ourselves?

Yes, and you should. Administration is browser-based, and we build the initial cardholder database with you and train your administrators on the weekly realities — adding and cancelling people, changing schedules, running reports, reading the event log. You hold your own administrator credentials. A system only your contractor can administer is not an asset you own.
