CCTV
Durell Controls designs, installs, and maintains state-of-the-art digital power-over-Ethernet security surveillance camera systems. PoE camera systems allow utilization of existing cable and switch infrastructure, and simplification of any required new cabling. Digital HD cameras offer image clarity and colour depth impossible to achieve with analog camera technology, even at equivalent resolutions.
2N PoE Intercom units with built in keypad, card reader, and camera is another layer you can add to your security system. 2N intercom units also integrate with Milestone’s software.
Milestone’s Xprotect family allow seamless integration with Delta Controls’ access control system, adding yet more options for integration with lighting, access, and HVAC management systems.
AXIS Camera Station VMS is also used based on installation requirements and where only AXIS cameras are used.
Whether it is AXIS cameras or others that you need, Durell can supply your facility with the required hardware and software to meet your design requirements. Upgrading existing systems and utilizing existing cable is Durell’s way to reduce cost and provide you with the latest state of the art CCTV system.

Access Controls Overview
Durell Controls are specialists in engineering and installing modern distributed-hardware access control systems. These systems use common industry standards including Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), BACnet, and SQL databases to provide the customer with flexibility and scalability that is not practical with centrally-wired or proprietary-protocol systems.
Showcase: St Thomas-Elgin General Hospital
Durell implemented a multi-year rollout of a Delta Controls access control system at a London-area hospital. This system controls nearly 100 doors and is integrated directly with the hospital’s BACnet HVAC control system. Features and services provided by Durell include:
- 24-hour emergency service
- Global building emergency lockdown
- Fire alarm interlocks (hardware and software) for life safety
- Common operator interface with HVAC system
- Normal/after hours locking schedules
- Battery backup
- Distributed controllers located at each door
- Standard 26-bit Wiegand proximity cards
- Shared cards with parking and drug access systems
Showcase: Parts Canada
A London-area warehouse contacted Durell to replace a failing centrally-wired access control system. Durell responded same-day to identify existing faults and provide options for replacement. The customer selected Durell to install an Infinias Intelli-M distributed access control system. Features and services provided by Durell include:
- Merging existing card user database with new server
- PoE-powered distributed controllers
- Ethernet cabling and terminations
- Zero interruption of service via incremental replacement
- Configuration of software on virtual machine
- Enabled customer-administered SQL database backups
Once the new system had proven itself, the customer tasked Durell with migrating an existing Infinias system in Calgary, Alberta to the same server. Durell was responsible for
- Merging existing card user database with new server
- Migration of controllers to new IP subnet
- Decommissioning of old software
Although all tasks had to be performed remotely from London in co-ordination with customer staff in Calgary, the migration was successful.
Showcase: Trinity United Church
A London-area church contacted Durell to address some installation issues with an existing Infinias Intelli-M access control system. Durell responded same-day to identify existing faults, and consult with the customer about desired additional features. Durell was able to repair the faults immediately and quickly provide a solution for the extra desired features.
Seamless integration will not only provide easy and effective building management, but also save your energy cost. With Delta, the range of Integration possibilities is broad, featuring examples such as; HVAC, Energy Meters, Lighting, Chiller package data, Variable Frequency Drives, Access Control, CCTV, Security, Facility Schedules, Databases etc. Understanding integration requires an understanding of vertical markets. Durell will understand your business processes and will be able to create an integrated solution that best meets your needs today and in the future.
Durell provides seamless integrations in a number various ways:
- Without any gateway hardware and labour cost, Delta BTL listed Native BACnet products can talk to any other systems that comply to ANSI/ASHRAEStandard 135-2012, BACnet communication protocol.
- The Delta Controls fully programmable, Modbus gateway allows Delta products to map registers in Modbus slave devices into standard BACnet objects
- The enteliBRIDGE gateway allows BACnet and non-BACnet devices (such as Modbus TCP/IP) to communicate seamlessly within a BACnet environment. Non-BACnet devices are represented as virtual BACnet devices that provide control data directly to BACnet controllers.
- API documentation is provided for developers to create protocol drivers, which makes it possible for Delta to integrate with any other systems.
- The CON-MBUS is used to bring meter bus devices into a BACnet network.
Coppertree Energy Management
The Kaizen Energy module is one of a new suite of entelWEB options from Coppertree Analytics that brings enterprise level energy management into the single-seat framework of enteliWEB. This enterprise energy management package makes it easy for anyone to understand the energy usage of their building.
Leveraging the same customizable dashboard interface as enteliWEB, Kaizen Energy makes it easy to visualize your energy usage, set target energy goals and compare your energy against historical baselines.
System fault diagnostics and alarming are also available to help with further reduction of operation cost and save you money.
Durell Controls is Canada’s first Wattstopper Digital Lighting Integrator Partner. Using primarily Wattstopper’s Digital Lighting Management (DLM) system, Durell designs, installs, commissions, services and integrates digital lighting systems. The DLM system meets Ontario 2012 Building Code and ASHRAE 90.1 requirements, and features remote monitoring and management of building lighting systems via the BACnet protocol. Wattstopper systems offer a 5-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.
The Native nature of the DLM system caused many institutions like Western University and Fanshawe College to standardize on it for all their lighting needs. Effortless integration to the HVAC/BAS makes it easy to realize energy savings. The key to the success of these projects is Durell’s integration experience and attention to details while working with customer and engineers to ensure all steps from concept to installation and integration are well thought of and clearly identified.

Appleby Case Study
Location: Appleby Ice Centre, Burlington Ontario
Background: Faced with rising electricity costs, the City of Burlington decided to invest in additional energy-saving initiatives at Appleby Ice Centre; Following a $16,500 in total utility reduction in 2013 stemming from a city-wide ice rink energy competition, the city continued to look for other ways to reduce consumption.
Solution: In 2014, Durell replaced the existing rink control system (For rink 1 & 2) with the DI2 solution, including floating head pressure optimization.
Results: Soon after final commissioning of the DI2 floating head pressure control system, the City of Burlington quickly noticed a reduction in energy use when compared to the same time period the previous year, as shown in the graph below. The additional savings realized is 43,576KWh, a cost of $7,290.00 for a period of 4 months.
