Security access, designed around your operations
GuardCell exists to give security companies a safer, more accountable way to reach the premises they protect.
Our story
The GuardCell story
The GuardCell venture started in 2006 with the development of security products for key customers. GuardCell has had a strong partnership with Sherlotronics since its inception, and together we've developed and supplied our products to a wide range of security companies.
Our tailor-made access control product provides secure access to customer premises using a device located in the reaction officer's vehicle — giving security companies a fast, efficient way to reach properties without compromising a customer's safety and security.

Founder
Built by engineers, for the field
Andrew Austin, the founder of GuardCell, is an Electronic Engineer with many years of experience developing products in the electronics industry. His solution is built on proven Sherlotronics hardware modules, enhanced with security algorithms developed and implemented by GuardCell.
How it's controlled
Encrypted, and controlled by you
Gate access control is managed by the security company using the GuardCell Management Software.
All the components in the system are available through Sherlotronics authorised distribution channels. Each security company encodes its devices with pre-allocated encryption keys, so every company operates on its own unique set of keys — allowing systems to run alongside each other with no interference.
What we value
Control, accountability, simplicity
Accountability
Every access is attributable to a unit, vehicle, or PIN.
Simplicity
One device covers many premises, with less hardware to manage.
