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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Part of being able to manage the security of a company effectively is to install access control solutions at the client premises. Combine the access control systems with that of for instance, Kronos time record keeping systems, and you will not only be able to improve the overall security, but also reduce labour costs, improve productivity and prevent employee fraud. The Kronos time record keeping systems can be connected with your payroll solution as well, ensuring that you will be able to combine the costs of security, payroll management, and time record keeping – thus save on management costs. The Kronos time record keeping systems include data collection devices such as their badge, ID, and touch terminals. The ID terminals include biometric verification features for improved security.

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.
