IDtek installs and maintains a wide range of security solutions. We also install, where relevant, AXIS Outdoor Network Cameras at university campuses, airports, public spaces, government and large corporate or industrial premises. The AXIS outdoor network cameras are robust in design with weather proof casings and can operate in temperature fluctuations. The cameras come equipped with tampering alarms and include day and night functionality. Easy to install, and ideal for traffic monitoring the outdoor network cameras require no external housing. If outdoor surveillance cameras suitable for placement with external housing are required, you will be glad to know that such are also available in the reliable AXIS product range.

The AXIS M3 114-R Network Surveillance Cameras are ideal for mobile camera surveillance. These types of network surveillance cameras can be installed in trains, buses, emergency, police and security vehicles. The AXIS M3 114-R Network Surveillance Cameras, because of their mobility, are thus ideal for airport monitoring where the security vehicles move around the premises on a constant basis. The cameras are extremely rugged and have added protection against vibrations, water, dust build-up, temperature changes, and the occasional bumps. If someone attempts to tamper with the cameras tampering alarms will be triggered. Exceptional imaging and the ability to respond to quick changes such as light fluctuations, make these network surveillance cameras ideal for mobile monitoring of the premises.

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 installs a range of cctv surveillance equipment at client premises such as office parks, airports, campuses, factories, and shopping centres. One of the brands of cctv surveillance equipment that we can recommend for installation is Samsung. The quality and functionality offered by Samsung are undisputed. Take for example the SNC-550N day and night network camera in their cctv surveillance range. It is network ready and supports infrared cutfilter removal. This day & night network camera has 0.002 Lux light sensitivity and provides amazingly clear imaging even in night conditions. It is easy to install, supporting dual voltage and Ethernet. The camera has high resolution imaging, and comes with real time MPEG 4 and JPEG compression capabilities. It also features privacy settings with up to four zones.

There are various camera surveillance terms. We find that by informing readers about the basic meaning of the camera surveillance terms, we help them to make informed decisions. Although we don’t sell over the counter camera surveillance products, but rather install complete security systems at client premises, we know that understanding what the features of a product are, is essential in buying decisions. One of the camera surveillance terms that you will come across is that of dual power. This simply refers to the fact that the specific camera surveillance equipment can operate on AC or DC Power, depending on the power requirements of the specific units. Resolution is another camera surveillance term often used. It refers to the quality of picture. The higher the resolution the better the image. Smart zoom is a feature that makes quick zooming into a specific part of an image possible. This has the benefit of faster identification of suspicious items on a person.

Understandably, not everyone is a security or technical expert, thus know everything about CCTV terminology, and that is why companies get in expert help from IDtek. We are able to not only provide designs, plans, and installation of security products, but also provide training on such to ensure that the security operators know exactly how the equipment functions. One of the CCTV terms that you will come across when browsing the best systems for surveillance is that of ICR. It stands for Infrared Cutfilter Removal. With this feature, the filter of colour is removed ensuring a higher level of camera light sensitivity. Another CCTV term is that of Day & Night – referring to the light conditions under which a camera can operate effectively. Back Light Compensation is yet another phrase that you will encounter. It refers to the compensation built into a CCTV system to handle the effects of a bright light at the back of a subject under surveillance.

IDtek selects security products carefully ensuring that we only install the best and most proven brands of security products at client sites. As such one of the brands that we can recommend is that of Indigo Vision. The Indigo Vision range of IP based cameras include features such as MPeg 4 compression and H 264 compression abilities. The Indigo Vision IP based cameras come with digital interfaces eliminating the need to convert analog to digital format. Superior functionality, quality, and performance are three more reasons for selecting their range of cameras. The Indigo Vision cameras can be wall or ceiling mounted, and include Ethernet support enabling the installation of the cameras on the existing company security network. Real-time footage and analysis are also possible with these advanced IP based cameras.

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.
