The Impro door control systems that we install at client premises can handle from one to eight doors for up to a 100 tag holders and as many as 5000 buffered transaction applications. The Impro door control systems have up to 16 readers and can handle up to three tags per individual and as many as eight tag holder access groups. Whether for a medium or large office building, the modern design fits in well with the corporate environment. The Impro door control systems, known as the IXP20 range, come with either the user-friendly touch screen solution with easy installation features or the more sophisticated network based system. The security offered by the Impro door control systems is excellent featuring AES 128 bit encryption together with the Diffie Helman Key Exchange feature, which makes it almost impossible to bypass or crack the code.
The Impro door access control range is known as the IXP20 range. Impro offers two main door access control products suitable for one to eight doors at a time. The systems can work independently. Some of the key features of the IXP20 door access control products are briefly described below. The one model is touch based for 1 to 8 doors and has a user-friendly full colour graphical display. The second model is net based for 1 to 8 doors and works directly from a computer or through TCP/IP Internet based communication. The models feature onboard web applications requiring no additional installation of software. Each of the doors has door opening sensors and request to exit features. There are multiple door mode options with onboard reporting features.
Electronic risk management is today just as an important part of business management than is budget control. Access control to specific areas within a building reduces the risk of fraud, theft by employees, and industrial espionage. At the same time access control to corporate premises helps to reduce the risk of armed robberies, large scale theft, and instances of fraud by outside parties. Financial losses are minimized through improved electronic risk management. Biometrics has come to play an important part in effective access control as have door control. In addition, IP based camera surveillance has become equally important. The main focus of electronic risk management should be the integration of various security and safety systems to reduce costs and improve control. This also means that time & attendance systems, payroll systems, parking management, door control, fire detection, alarms, and general access control should be integrated. IDtek provides various advanced electronic risk management solutions which allow for full integration of all of the above systems.
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.
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.
Biometric fingerprint scanning involves a process of authentication, which in turn entails matching the fingerprint data from the individual with that of the data already in the system. The data is thus compared with the record of the individual’s biometric fingerprint scan which was originally done to create a template. In addition it also involves comparison of the data on an ID card or a PIN number with the biometric fingerprint data of the individual already scanned into the system. Apart from authentication the process can also involve identification where the template of the biometric fingerprint data is compared to all the records in the system for closest match to that of the user. This type of biometric fingerprint identification is used in a one to many relationship.
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.
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.
