Although fire alarms may be in place at a premise, many buildings still burn down simply because early fire detection systems are not in place or are severely inadequate for the particular circumstances. The fire detection systems must be able to operate in fire sensitive areas, take dust particles and heat changes into consideration, and be connected to the overall fire protection system. Too sensitive fire detection systems will cause false alarms which may be ignored if happening too often. If the fire detection systems however, are not sensitive enough the fire alarms may be sounded too late. In this case smoke and hazardous gasses may already have spread to other areas causing a highly flammable situation because of air conditioning systems. The best advice is to get experts in to assess your specific fire detection requirements within your budget range and to install such systems to operate within the parameters of the overall fire protection system.
Although parking management at shopping centres is mainly focused on improving convenience of the shoppers and the shopping management, it also has the benefit of improving security. One way that parking management at shopping centres does benefit security is through access control to the area through booms and pressing the button for a time ticket. When cameras are installed at the various entries and exit points which relay to a central point of monitoring, it will be possible to identify any suspicious behaviour. It will also help to identify when a car came into the facility and left as well as noting the driver in case of theft at the facility. Since a client has to pay the ticket with the pay on foot system before leaving the premise, it will prolong the period from when a crime occurred until being able to get to the vehicle and exit. The booms can be controlled to not open in such instances if for instance, a bank robbery occurred at the shopping facility. As such we can consider parking management at shopping centres to improve security of the facility.
Airport security is of paramount importance to prevent plane hijackings and compromising of patron safety. Biometrics is one solution that can be integrated with various other security solutions to improve the security at airports. At this stage it does seem a bit difficult to implement biometrics for passengers, but it is possible to implement biometrics for secure areas to control access to and from the facilities according to the level of authorization. It will also reduce theft by airport personnel and help to enhance the image of an airport company as one that can be trusted. IDTek has been awarded the contract to install biometrics based systems at the Oliver Tambo International Airport. The system used is that of SAGEM known for superior biometric technologies. Smaller airports will also benefit from such access control and should consider upgrading their security with the state of the art technology as well.
Airports, campuses, banks, but especially casinos benefit from asset tagging technology to track movement of equipment and money in boxes or cages through a building. The required items are tagged and then monitored from a central workstation to identify on screen exactly where the items are within the building. It allows for identification of any deviation of planned routes for the equipment or items and will also help to identify if an asset is stationary too long. Asset tagging not only improves security, but also leads to higher productivity as the movement of items is monitored at all times. In addition it will also be easier for management to quickly locate assets if products should be shipped somewhere from the specific cage etc. Asset tagging technology is available from IDTek to streamline the movement of valuables through your building.
Take for example the scenario below where critical power supply would have saved the day. Due to a power failure, a large Internet Service Provider and Bulk Hosting Company lose three of its servers. Since the company offers shared hosting numerous website owners suddenly find that their websites are down. They lose valuable leads, income, and ranking in the time it takes to move their information to other servers and get them up and running again. This is just one instance where critical power supply would have prevented loss of servers and downtime of websites. Ultimately the website owners have reason to be upset and change their host company. It could be the downfall of a company. Health centres where machinery cannot even be down for a second will also benefit from critical power supply that is expandable and easy to adapt. Contact IDTek for a critical power solution to ensure ongoing operations at your company.
