When having to choose between IP camera surveillance and analog camera surveillance, the choice shouldn’t be difficult. The main difference lies in interlacing. IP camera surveillance has the distinct advantage of being able to capture fast moving objects without any blurring whereas the analog systems frequently encounter blurring.
Another advantage that IP camera surveillance offers is that of Power over Ethernet which ensures cost effective setup and running without the need for hurdling. IP camera surveillance also offers higher resolution capabilities than the analog camera surveillance system. Although it took a long time to get to this place where monitoring can effectively be integrated with existing computer networks, the advantages offered are enough reason to convert to the new technology.
CCTV logistics to consider include that of pricing, location to be installed, the purpose of the monitoring, sensitivity required, footage archiving ability and angling flexibility. When shopping for close circuit television systems is best to discuss your specific requirements with experts in CCTV logistics. Not knowing the functions offered may lead to the purchasing of equipment which may not be suited for your specific purpose at all. It may also be tempting to buy the cheapest possible system, but if you require a system that can be integrated with existing security you will benefit from the brand names stocked at IDTek.
Selecting the right CCTV financial services equipment is essential to ensure adequate monitoring, security, and the ability to use the CCTV financial services equipment to obtain valuable information about client behavior.
Before you purchase CCTV financial services equipment establish the following:
- Area that needs to be monitored.
- The main reasons for monitoring.
- Time schedule for operation.
- Light available.
- Angles which should be considered.
- How many cameras will be needed?
- Do you only require cameras within the building or outside as well?
- Where will the monitoring team be located?
Once you have answers to the above, you are ready to install CCTV financial services support monitoring. Final tip: take the information you already have and contact the IDtek team for guidance on the selection of the correct equipment according to your requirements.
Close circuit television is not only useful for the retail sector, but CCTV banking security systems also ensure protection against fraud or potential robberies. In addition to acting as a crime deterrant CCTV banking security systems ensure that footage can be archived and reviewed should money be stolen or a robbery take place. Prevention however, is better than the cure and by installing CCTV bankig security systems potential robberies can be prevented. Any suspicious behavior of clients in the bank can be identified and preventive steps be taken. In addition tellers stealing from the bank will be identified and possible long lines identified to ensure that additional tellers open to prevent customer complaints.

There is no doubt that the installation of IP Video Surveillance not only benefits the retail industry, but also large campuses where security is always a concern. Since privacy issues and confidentiality of specific information should be kept in mind, IP Video Surveillance should only be installed in public areas such as the stairways, entrances and exists, the libraries and in some instances computer labs. Not only does it provide the ability to archive footage, but also provides expansion options of the security network beyond the normal CCTV abilities. Brand names such as Honeywell DVM, Pelco Endura and Axis are stocked by IDTek ensuring high quality IP Video Surveillance that makes full use of the existing network architecture of campuses to ensure better security.
The IP CCTV is the digital equivalent of the previous tape based video surveillance systems. These systems worked great, but had the disadvantage of not being able to view specific footage immediately, having several tapes to store and not having the scalability offered by IP CCTV. With IP CCTV as offered by IDTEK companies can have digital recording or viewing of specific areas. Footage is signaled through the existing LAN to a specific server. The footage can then be viewed anywhere in the world. Rather than making use of the old style coax network, TCP/IP is used. With the technological advancement benefits such as quick information retrieval, data encryption and play-backs are also offered. Some of the systems available from IDTEK include that of Axis, Indigo Vision and Bosch Vidos.
Sagem Biometrics offer the advantage of being able to scan the individual fingerprints of employees, guests to an estate, students accessing an exam hall or people registering to vote. The above are just a few of the instances where fingerprint scanning can enhance security and prevent unauthorized persons entering a specific area. Labs, financial institutions and even retail businesses where access control to the cash volts or the stock areas need to be monitored also benefit from the handheld Sagem devices for biometrics. Sagem offers three distinct systems for biometrics namely MA500, OMA520 and the Morphosmart devices. Advanced technology makes it possible to quickly match the individual fingerprint with that recorded in the database. Even time and attendance can be monitored through the cost effective and highly secure systems available through IDTek.
When businesses consider CCTV retail the main reason is normally for security and thus subsequent theft prevention. A reason often overlooked is that of sales improvement. When CCTV retail solutions are employed, a business can monitor traffic throughout a store, count the total number of people visiting a specific department, browsing, and walking out because they haven’t received service etc. It helps a business to identify slow moving lines and immediately getting a sales person to a customer that looks around for help. CCTV retail is more than just a security measure, it is also a sales improvement solution that can be used to obtain valuable customer behavior information and to ensure excellent client service, adequate store lay-outs and satisfied customers. As such the CCTV retail systems available through IDTek provide the functionality required to ensure overall sales improvement through the use of video surveillance technology in marketing monitoring.
Fingerprint security access control systems fall under biometrics, thus systems that provide access to a specific device or area based on the physical attribute recognition ability of the biometric device. As such when a company decides to install a fingerprint security access control system it will go through the following process:
- Enrolling the individuals that need access to an area. Samples are taken by means of scanning and the scans are then read into a database system.
- Templates are generated which provide the control mechanism against which fingerprints of individuals requiring access to an area will then be matched.
IDTek provides several types of fingerprint security access systems suitable for a wide range of applications which can be integrated with existing security measures at companies.
VESDA can be explained as an advanced fire and smoke detection system for buildings. In addition to the detection abilities it also provides enhanced protection features which ensure complete safety of office buildings. VESDA stands for Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus and no modern building should be without it. The air in the building is sampled for smoke through the use of a pipe ventilation system. What makes VESDA so unique is the sensitivity to smoke. Smoke is detected long before it is visible in the building. This provides protection for employees that get enough time to evacuate in case of a fire or hazardous event. IDTek provides clients with this advance fire and smoke detection system which is several times more sensitive than other smoke detection systems.
