Melbourne’s integrated security manufacturer — Integriti for enterprise access control and intrusion, Inception for the web-based small-to-medium tier, exported worldwide.
Inner Range was founded in Melbourne in 1988 around a then-radical idea: access control and intrusion detection belong in one system, not two boxes wired together. Three platform generations later (Concept, then Integriti, with Inception below it), that idea is the industry mainstream — and Inner Range remains one of its best executors, Australian-owned with local manufacturing and worldwide export.
In the Australian integrator ecosystem the brand functions as infrastructure: CSD distribution, certified training, and an installed base across exactly the estates — education, health, government — where integrated security earns its keep.
| Segment | Inner Range offering |
|---|---|
| Enterprise platform | Integriti — networked controllers, server software, enterprise door/area/user scale |
| SME platform | Inception — web-based controller, unified access + intrusion, browser configuration |
| Hardware | Controllers, expanders, readers, keypads, comms (incl. multi-path monitored signalling options) |
| High security | Hardened variants and encryption for government/critical-infrastructure deployments |
| Integrations | CCTV/VMS, intercom, lifts, wireless locks, BMS and third-party systems |
Integriti is built for estates: many buildings, thousands of doors and users, networked controllers that keep sites autonomous if the server disappears, granular permissions, and the integration depth (video, lifts, intercoms, building systems) that turns security into an operations platform. Its natural competitors are ICT’s Protege GX, Gallagher Command Centre and Tecom Challenger estates — and the decision between them usually turns on integrator ecosystem, incumbency and specific integration needs more than raw capability.
For service businesses, Integriti estates are premium recurring work: scheduled maintenance across controllers, doors and detection, firmware currency, battery cycles, and the per-asset records that enterprise clients and their auditors expect.
Inception took the unified-platform idea downmarket brilliantly: a single controller with a complete browser interface — commissioning wizard included — needing no software installation, no licensing server, and covering the small-to-medium site (a childcare centre, a medical suite, a warehouse office) with doors and alarm in one box. It routinely tops installer-preference conversations for its commissioning speed, and it upgrades along a natural path toward Integriti as sites grow.
Inner Range suits the full commercial spectrum: Inception for small-to-medium unified sites, Integriti for enterprise estates and high-security government work. Strengths: Australian design and manufacture, the unified access+intrusion architecture, integration depth, CSD channel and training, and export-proven platform maturity. Considerations: enterprise work is certified-integrator territory (engage training early), and the premium tier competes hard against ICT, Gallagher and the Challenger installed base.
Yes — Inner Range designs and manufactures in Melbourne and has since 1988, exporting its integrated security platforms worldwide. It is one of the standout Australian security manufacturing stories.
Integriti is the enterprise platform — server-based, massively scalable, deeply integrated, used across universities, hospitals and government estates. Inception is the web-based small-to-medium tier: a controller configured entirely through a built-in browser interface, unifying access control and intrusion without any installed software.
Yes — unified access + intrusion on one platform is the company’s core idea. Both Integriti and Inception natively handle alarm areas, zones and monitoring alongside doors and credentials, which removes the traditional panel-plus-access-system split.
