Integrated Security Systems for Modern Day Enterprises
The growth of integrated security systems has revolutionized not only access control, but also building management. In the modern world where data confidentiality must be kept, perimeters secured to prevent unwanted elements from entering, and safety improved also in terms of fire protection, stand alone solutions are no longer viable.
Holistic Approach to Safety and Security
The best way to approach risk management is by means of a holistic view. This should be represented in the overall security policy of the company. Whether an airport needs to be secured, railway station, campus with numerous buildings, office park or residential apartment block, it is essential to integrate the various security systems for optimal monitoring and control capabilities.
Components of the System
An integrated security system includes for instance, close circuit video surveillance, biometric fingerprint access control, automated doors, and building management systems where the heating, cooling, ventilation, humidity, lighting and power can be more efficiently controlled through a single platform. Combine this with the payroll system and a time monitoring solution, and not only will security be improved, but also productivity increased while the environmental footprint lessened.
Improved Safety, Security, and Communication
In addition to the above, a system can also include the alarms for intruder detection, response activation, intercom system for improved communication, and fire detection and protection systems. When thus installing integrated security systems at large premises such as exhibition halls, airports, hospitals, science institutions, manufacturing plants, and offices, IDtek, considers the client requirements first.
The more integration that takes place, the better control over security, safety and building management can be gained. As such, we offer scalable solutions which work for the specific premise. Even where multiple buildings must be secured and monitored, we can assist since remote monitoring and control can be done. No longer do you have to be concerned about security protocols not matching as we make use of specific platforms to ensure compatibility and complete integration.
Network Based Solutions
With a central control room from where the network deploys to various points in the building for complete automation of certain functions, while manual intervention is possible, fewer humans need to be involved in the security operation.
It of course, not only reduces manpower costs, but also helps to minimize errors caused by humans and the risk of security breaches. Various technologies can now be fully integrated allowing for instance, the linking of a CCTV system with a user interface in the control room. If an alarm is sounded for intrusion, the cameras start recording and images are sent back to the control room where the operator can assess the situation. Certain instances can immediately trigger an automated call for assistance to for instance, fire emergency services.
Because of integrated security systems at large premises, routine checks can be done by means of the system. It allows for complete 24/7 security control. Monitoring can be done from a remote location ensuring that apart from the operator in the control room, back-up monitoring can be done to ensure complete security and safety. With the solutions provided by IDtek large companies can now adapt to the dynamic nature of security through scalable and fully integrated solutions.
An integrated security solution allows you to combine all the safety and protection measures into one easy to use package. This is particularly useful in integrating your fire safety precautions with your alarm system. This will mean that you do not need an additional alarm or warning system to alert people when a fire is detected. You can further integrate your security measures to include monitor the power usage in your company as well environmental control units such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
