SERVICES

An intruder alarm system is designed to detect intruder presence at your premises. When detected, a siren will activate and communicate an alarm signal to one of our highly sophisticated Monitoring centres, from where an appropriate response will be coordinated. Intruder systems can be either hard wired or wireless

The purpose of an intruder alarm system is:

• To protect the physical assets and people within a premises
• To deter crime and vandalism
• To ensure a prompt armed response service is dispatched in response to an alarm signal

Commonly utilised detection devices include:

• Passive Infra Red Sensors (PIR’s) – we offer microwave, digital and dual technology PIR’s that are either wall or ceiling mounted. Most of our PIR’s, although not all, are also pet immune, an important factor that causes false alarms
• Break glass sensors
• Vibration sensors
• Seismic vault and safe detectors
• Smoke and heat detectors
• Door and window magnetic contacts
• External beams and outdoor passives for early detection and warning

The key to an effective intruder alarm system is the careful selection and placement of the detection devices, so as to best suit the environment and risk level. This is why we recommend that one employs the services of a qualified security expert who is able to advise on the appropriate placement of all detection devices.

National Security & Fire has the latest generation of industry leading access control and biometric access control security systems that offer powerful advances in digital video management, smart card applications, biometric integration and open IT systems.

Access control systems can cater for virtually an unlimited number of users, with proximity cards, uniquely encoded key ring tags or biometrics (fingerprint readers)

Biometric Access Control Readers

Biometric access control readers provide increased security by assessing and identifying a person’s unique body feature. Biometrics combine the security of using a cardholders badge or PIN in conjunction with a biometric template. Our biometric solutions offer fast and accurate access control.

Smart Cards

We offer a two-in-one solution that combines a biometric device and smart card reader, using standard non-contact smart card technology. Fingerprint or hand geometry templates are captured during enrollment and directly written to a smart card chip.

Logical Access

Enterprise access cards consolidate employee credentials onto a single, secure smart card providing photo ID as well as a security device that enables secure windows and network login, PC ‘locking’, secure remote access (VPN), secure e-mail with digital signatures and single sign-on to your enterprise and desktop applications. Employees can also access buildings and other facilities with the same card for a truly consolidated security solution.

Technical Specifications and Capabilities

• Access control systems are networkable
• Each cardholder can be assigned unique access security levels
• Cardholder locations can be tracked to prevent two people from sharing a card
• Cards can be programmed with specific lock-out times
• Access control systems can be integrated with time and attendance software packages
