The way we live, work, and interact with our homes is changing.

In the past, access control and home automation were seen as luxuries or nice-to-have features. Today, they’ve become essential lifestyle upgrades. Rising expectations for safety, energy efficiency, convenience, and aesthetics mean modern households are looking for smart, integrated solutions that do more than just lock doors or switch lights.

At ATL, we’re proud to introduce a new suite of cutting-edge products from Akuvox and Akubela — global leaders in secure, design-driven smart technologies. From biometric access terminals to luxury wall-mounted panels that combine intercom, automation, and design, these systems redefine how Kiwis experience safety and comfort.

This blog explores why smart access matters, what makes each of these solutions unique, and how ATL brings them together in your home or workplace.

Why It Matters: The New Standard for Smarter Living

Homeowners and businesses in New Zealand are facing new challenges:

Security & Safety: A reliable way to control who enters your property.
Convenience: Seamless entry without fumbling for keys or remotes.
Integration: Devices that don’t just work alone, but talk to each other.
Design: Technology that blends into modern architecture instead of disrupting it.

Traditional intercoms and keypads no longer cut it. Smart access and control panels offer:

Multi-modal access (face, card, QR, NFC, BLE).
Advanced safety features like anti-spoofing facial recognition.
Smart home integration, acting as the central hub for automation.
Stylish finishes that complement interiors rather than clash with them.

With ATL’s expertise in electrical, automation, and security installations, you get a future-ready solution that’s tailored to your lifestyle.
