An integrated security solution for a charity organisation that requires monitoring and privacy for every room. The success story of Afik Communications

About the Installation Company 

Afik Communications is a family-owned company with 40 years of experience, specialising in communication infrastructure and cameras. Over the past decade, the company has expanded its expertise to include alarm systems, focusing on advanced technologies and high-level information security. Committed to delivering quality solutions tailored to customer needs, Afik Communications consistently maintains a high standard of service.

The challenge

The charity organisation was founded to assist parents in underprivileged communities with financing weddings and housing expenses. It provides a proactive solution that enables families to plan ahead, allowing them to arrange the weddings of  their children with dignity and ease. However, after funding is provided, the challenge of enhancing security at the site emerges. This requires internal monitoring and the privacy of all rooms and doors to ensure security and facilitate emergency access in case of a fire.

The key to the success of this project is the attractive cost-benefit balance. RISCO’s security complete system integration eliminates the need for a separate, costly installation, thereby keeping the project’s expenses manageable.

The solution

The installation included:

– LightSYS+ alarm system: a versatile hybrid system utilising 29 of its 512 potential zones.

– 13 BWare Bus detectors: advanced detection technologies that facilitate remote maintenance and reduce costs.

– 2 ceiling detectors: offering 360-degree room coverage.

– 2 keypads: positioned at main entrances for easy system control. 

– 20 door opener readers: accompanied by 100 tags to control access.

– 5 emergency exit doors: outfitted with relays for emergency openings during fires.

Benefits and cost savings

By opting for RISCO’s integrated alarm and access control system, the customer saved thousands compared to a standalone access control system, without incurring annual licensing fees. This system connects directly to the LightSYS+, eliminating the need for a separate setup and controllers. Furthermore, RISCO Bus technology enhances wiring efficiency and allows for comprehensive remote monitoring of components.

Conclusions

This installation showcases the advantages of utilising advanced, cost-effective technologies, offering a comprehensive solution for monitoring and privacy in every room. It acts as a model for other installers aiming to enhance efficiency and provide tailored solutions.

For small or medium-sized commercial installations, RISCO’s integrated system is the perfect choice. It merges top-tier professional security with an application that enables multiple users to manage the system remotely. Additionally, it provides a cost effective access control solution, allowing alarm system installers to also offer their clients access control services.
