The IP surveillance camera installation process normally entails excellent planning as the bandwidth requirements must be assessed as well as where to install the IP surveillance cameras. Another consideration is that of image quality required and how many days of footage history must be available for quick retrieval. Disk space needed and integration with other security solutions should also be considered. Once the IP surveillance camera assessment and planning have been done, installation takes place and IP addresses are allocated with all the units working on the same sub network. A database and scheduling are setup for the recording time and intervals. Where the existing network can handle additional bandwidth load requirements, the client company saves. If not, steps will be taken to ensure that the network is not overloaded.
Electronic risk control has been made possible with improvements in technology over the past two decades. Although intruder protection is still and important part of security, internal threats such as document theft, fraud, and industrial espionage have also become part of business life. As such electronic risk control systems allowing for fingerprint recognition, door access control, time & attendance systems, and building management solutions to be integrated with security equipment such as digital camera surveillance, offer numerous advantages including cost savings. Stolen items can be retrieved, camera footage can be used as evidence against a fraudster, fewer security guards are required to patrol the premises, 24 hour surveillance is possible and the solutions are scalable. If you want improved security contact us for electronic risk control solutions that will fit your company premises.
IDtek is known for innovative solutions for corporate security. One such a solution that we install at client premises is the SAGEM MorphoSmart TM 1300. It is a compact fingerprint recognition system that makes one to one verification possible as well as one to many identification. The device has an extensive scanning area and has high accuracy capabilities. With a surface specifically developed for high quality fingerprint recognition whilst having a robust design, it is perfectly suited for usage at voting stations, campuses and any area where mobility will be required. Fingerprint matching can be done at a terminal or done remotely. What makes this fingerprint recognition so amazing is the software development kit included which allows for complete customisation of the various functions according the client requirements.
IDtek is one of the leading providers of integrated corporate security solutions in South Africa. Our approach is to assess every client’s security, access, and safety requirements. We identify risk factors for the specific location and industry and have in-depth discussions with the clients regarding their specific corporate security requirements before we make recommendations regarding the infrastructure and brands to be used. We also have an experienced project management team to ensure the timely installation, training, and management of relevant corporate security solutions. Our clients range from campuses to airports, cold storage facilities, large warehouses, and corporate office parks. We offer time & attendance solutions, parking management solutions, access control systems, fire detection equipment, and building management as well as advanced surveillance for top quality corporate security.
VESDA smoke detectors are ideal for food processing plants since the VESDA smoke detectors can be installed outside the protected designated spaces. This means that only the sample pipes will be exposed to very low temperature ranges. Many other smoke detectors cannot operate with accuracy in such cold conditions as experienced in cold food storage units. Blast chilling equipment often causes tremendous airflow and concentrations thereof. With our expertise in the planning and installation of VESDA smoke detectors the performance of the detectors stays excellent even with such cold surroundings. You can consider these smoke detectors where you need highly reliable smoke detection in cold conditions. Performance can be ensured when the sample pipes are installed outside the refrigerating equipment.
An example of how we are able to improve not only the security, but also the safety at client premises is our completed project at the Unilever warehouse. We have installed a VESDA fire protection system and have secured the premises effectively. Since we follow an integrated approach, we have been able to connect the VESDA fire protection system with camera monitoring and with access control systems. We installed a biometric access control system, have included a fully integrated camera surveillance system, and have connected the access control systems to time & attendance solutions. Client companies rely on the expertise of IDtek to help improve all aspects of security, surveillance, and safety at their premises. With the successful installation of the VESDA fire protection system and the intruder protection system at the 40 000 square metre warehouse, we have once again showed that we are the best company for the job.
Fully integrated access management control holds several benefits for the client company. One such a benefit is that of being able to streamline payroll and time& attendance functions while also improving security. If the entrances to the building and workplace have biometric access control with CCTV cameras for added security and monitoring, and the system is also connected to a time & attendance solution such as ClockWatch which can be connected to the payroll system, better access management control will be obtained. While also using the existing network infrastructure we are furthermore able to reduce the cost of installation of the additional access control systems. Integrated access management control also offers the benefit of improved safety. The fire detection system connected to the alarms, and controlled from a single point can be connected to door control and intercoms as well as CCTV cameras.
IDtek as a leading provider of security, safety and advanced building management solutions make use of various brands that can be integrated with the rest of the security systems for improved building control. Some of the benefits of these advanced building management solutions are that of improved temperature control, better maintenance management capabilities, central control, remote control possibilities, reduced noise levels, fewer human errors, and responsiveness to the user requirements, improved security, and better air control and of course also improved humidity control. Two of the brand technologies that we install as part of our building management solutions are that of Alerton and SymmetrE.
Although it will certainly be a plus to have curtains open and close when someone enters a room, building management systems are far more complicated than meets the eye. We however, are leading providers and installers of advanced building management systems which are developed around the client requirements. Considerations such as safety, security, cost-effectiveness, control, and convenience are all considered. It is important that the platforms utilised for building management systems can be integrated with the various HVAC sub-solutions while also ensuring that remote control and monitoring can still take place. Another consideration in the development and installation of the building management systems is that of energy usage. It is of paramount importance that the systems provide reduced energy usage capacity.
Biometrics is a physical property recognition system that identifies and verifies specific physical characteristics of an individual. The characteristics used in biometrics range from fingerprints to voice recognition and retinal patterns, to name but a few. Biometrics has developed to an advanced level and is now widely used in the workplace, campuses, government buildings, and even at airports. With biometrics data is collected at the enrolment stage and then matching is done every time a person gets to a specific terminal. It is also possible to use biometrics simply to track who enters without using it as access control or limitation system. It uses a one to one authentication system and a one to many identification process. Fingerprint is perhaps the most common and most accepted form of biometrics used today.
