Security risk control should be one of the main considerations when it comes to building management because information, employees, clients, vehicles , finances, the buildings, and assets should be protected. Security risk control measures should be in place to address access to the premise and specific areas within the premise by authorized persons only, reduction of fire risks, fraud, industrial espionage, and robberies, in addition to lowering high maintenance costs. As such it is imperative that a company make use of a complete security risk control system rather than stand alone units which cannot be monitored from a central place or from a remote location. Such a security control system should for instance, integrate parking management, surveillance, biometric access control, door control, smoke detectors, fire alarms, and user-friendly building management systems. IDtek is able to provide integrated security risk control systems for medium to large companies.
VESDA smoke detection systems are well suited for usage in food plants since the highly effective smoke detection units can be installed in protected spots. This ensures that the smoke detection units will not be exposed to the abnormal low temperatures normally associated with the freezing cold conditions in food plants. With the VESDA smoke detection units it is thus possible to extend the fire alarm network to areas which would otherwise be difficult to monitor. IDtek has experience in the installation and maintenance of VESDA smoke detection units in large food processing plants, where the units continue to operate effectively even under extreme cold conditions. The system also provides for a complete audit trail of problems identified over an extended period, enabling planning to prevent such occurrences of happening again in the specific areas of the food plant.
Biometric identification is based on a process of comparing the fingerprint pattern characteristics of the individual’s finger with that available in the database. It is an extremely quick process whereby the ridges and valleys of the fingerprint are compared to sets in the system. These ridges and valleys are commonly known as the minutia points. The minutia points are analysed to assess the matching points. Where the ridges split or end, there are specific points which should all be present for a successful match. In total around 85 such points are measured for a fingerprint. This kind of technology makes biometric identification highly accurate and although many points must be analysed, it is done all at once, ensuring quick biometric identification.
