IDtek endeavours to install only the best fingerprint readers at client premises to ensure high functionality and accuracy. The Sagem fingerprint readers fit the profile perfectly for biometric access control. Their fingerprint reading equipment can identify false points quickly, making them suitable for usage in harsh working environments such as mining, construction, and industry. Highly accurate and easy to operate the fingerprint technology helps to reduce the threat of unauthorized entrance and exists at premises. Their products are scalable and can be used in conjunction with time & attendance systems connected to payroll solutions. More than 50 000 of their biometric products are already in use throughout South Africa, proving the trust of businesses and security solutions providers in their brand.

We install a wide range of biometric security control products at client premises including a range of products from the Sagem product stable. The reasons for selecting Sagem biometric security control products include cost effectiveness of their products, the reputation of the brand for quality, durability of their products, and the high functionality of their biometric systems. The Sagem fingerprint recognition systems can easily identify false points on the scan and as such immediately reject such. This makes the Sagem biometric solutions well suited for the mining environment where the likelihood for damage to a person’s fingerprint caused by dust and abrasion is higher than for instance, in a corporate environment where no physical labour is involved. The surface scanned by Sagem scanners are about 50 percent higher than that scanned by most other biometric scanner products. As such Sagem biometric security control products are exceptionally accurate and are one of the preferred brands that we install at client premises.

IDtek offers clients an excellent range of surveillance equipment as part of our complete security solutions installed at client premises. The IndigoVision PTZ IP dome cameras are worth a mention because of their amazing features such as H.264 built-in compression abilities and compatibility with the IndigoVision Control Centre Video and Alarm Management as well as the range of Network Video Recorders. Three main types of mounts are available in the 9000 series of PTZ IP Dome Cameras including the swan neck, false ceiling, and pendant mounts. Power, data, and video run on one cable, ensuring cost effective installation. Suitable for office blocks, shopping malls, airports, campuses, libraries, schools, and large retail premises, the IP dome cameras have features such as above average low light operating abilities, image stabilization, sun shroud, and lens covers.

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 is known for innovative solutions for corporate security. One such a solution that we install at client premises is the SAGEM MorphoSmart TM 1300.

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.

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.
