IDtek is a leading provider of advanced security solutions which integrate building management, parking management, fire detection, fire control, access control, time and attendance, data centre management, and surveillance security solutions. We do not offer any products for sale over the counter, but assess client security and safety risks. According to the results from the risk assessment, recommendations will be made. We work in close cooperation with client companies to ensure the best possible security solutions for the particular client company premise. Each premise is assessed and within the risk of the particular industry reviewed. We don’t offer a single solution, but rather a combination of security solutions which are installed at the client premise. We handle the whole project from assessment, installation, and testing to training of staff on the particular applications.
The more conventional access control systems of passwords and ID cards have limitations including limited mobility and scalability, high risk of fraud, theft, and administrative problems. Wireless biometric access control systems provide greater flexibility and mobility as well as scalability. With wireless biometric access control improved identification accuracy is obtained and productivity increased. The wireless biometric access systems such as the Sagem MorphoAccess devices can be used in conjunction with time and attendance systems, for computer access control, student access, and limitation of access to specific areas according to authorisation recorded with the fingerprint scans. Easy to install, lower cabling costs, and remote readings are more advantages available when making use of wireless biometric access control systems.
IDtek installs and maintains complete security and safety solutions at large client premises including intercoms. The value of intercoms for building safety is often overlooked as many managers see intercoms as communication tools, rather than devices which should form part of an integrated security solution. Intercoms are essential communication tools in cases of fire detection when the office building tenants need to be warned and told where to go. Intercoms are also essential in cases of security breaches to warn personnel and provide communication as to which doors may be used to exit a building. IDtek sees intercoms as important tools in security and as such makes use of well known and trusted brands only when installing the devices at client premises.
IDtek believes in the installation of well known and trusted brands. As such we provide complete security solutions at client premises through the installation of Honeywell products including the Honeywell intruder detection system, which can be set to react on movement in a specific area. The surveillance image is stored using a software application. The access control manager can select a specific timeframe to view if historical data of the intruder detection is required. The intruder detection can also be viewed in real time. It is even possible to specify who is authorised to view specific footage. The audit trail abilities of the system are essential for security management. If a higher level security is required the intruder detection system can be integrated with the Honeywell EBI building management application and can operate from a Windows 2000 platform.
IDtek believes in complete security solutions and as such also offers advanced cable distribution and data centre solutions including the product installation of Infra StruXure which is an advanced NCPI. InfraStruXure provides a modern solution for data network cabling through its modular and enclosed design. The smart cabling feature of InfraStruXure helps to prevent cable tampering, thus improving the security of company data centres. The smart cabling also helps to prevent accidental incorrect cabling. The InfraStruXure solution helps to keep the cable area neat. With its ability to handle large streams of data it allows for faster information download. The redundant architecture of the system helps to reduce the risk of single point failures.
IDtek installs relevant building management solutions at client premises. One such a building management solution is the Honeywell Symmetre building management solution allowing for control over heating, air conditioning, and ventilation from one centralised access point. The system helps to improve energy efficiency, building management, and safety as well as reduces resource usage. With remote access to the information made possible through an IP interface, building and security managers can operate the building management solution from a location far from the premise. The tenants of the building have controlled access for minimal changes including air-conditioning settings and light dimming. Alarm settings can be defined and managed from a remote location and priorities set. The mentioned features make the Symmetre building management solution perfect for upmarket apartment buildings.
Residential estates more and more rely on the advanced access control solutions installed by IDtek to prevent fraud and unauthorised access to the estates. Cards, passwords, and visitor books deem to be high security risks as false entries, fraud by security guards, and lost or stolen cards and passwords, leave residents vulnerable. One of the solutions that we provide is the Sagem MorphoAccess biometric system which is installed in addition to surveillance cameras. It entails a scanner which takes the fingerprints and applies a specific algorithm to establish identity. With the ability to provide authentication of up to 48 000 2 fingerprint records it has become the best biometric access control solution for residential estates.
The Impro IXP 400 is another complete solution for access control management often installed at client premises. The Impro IXP 400 software application is specifically suited for the security control requirements of large client premises such as hospitals and campuses. It makes use of a state of the art controller in addition to the software suite to manage the access to doors in one to more buildings. With the Impro IXP 400 up to 160 000 tags can be handled per building. It offers the ability to have one access point for control. Advanced features such as the ability to monitor an entire site and to view the complete floorplan of the site, as well as building graphics, make it one of the best access control management software applications in the industry.
