UNLOCKING A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES.

THE rise of smart buildings in recent times has heightened the demand for new and improved physical security measures, necessitating functional and enhanced risk assessment methods to safeguard residential, commercial and industrial properties.

Unlike in the past, building security access no longer solely regulates entry and exit points but has evolved into a comprehensive data centre for emergency response, evacuation procedures and intruder identification to prevent untoward incidents.

In this era of technological advancement, building security access – equipped with barrier gates, CCTV and other technologies — has become instrumental in smart building security, ensuring effective control during fire incidents, break-ins, vandalism and other emergencies.

Whether residing in a condominium, working in an office building, or managing an industrial factory, individuals have likely experienced access checkpoints utilising cards or media gadgets for entry.

One trend gaining significant traction is the shift towards medialess security access systems.

Gone are the days of fumbling with keys or cards. Instead, contactless, capture and control mechanisms are taking centre stage, revolutionising the way we interact with building security and enhancing people’s experience throughout their journey from the point of entry to exit, whether in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.

Conventionally, a vehicle entering a secured building premise would have to present some form of building identification card for access at the barrier gate entrance. Subsequently, the person accessing the building premise would have to use either the same card or another card to access the building lobby and proceed to their destination level and unit.

Medialess access is now a trend akin to passing through immigration checkpoints at airports, where your face serves as your secure entry into a country.

In China today, some townships even employ this form of access to enter neighbourhoods to prevent perpetrators or criminals from lurking around residences.

FR with ai tech2

This trend is exemplified by the widespread adoption of RFID technology for vehicle access and facial recognition biometric Al (artificial intelligence) for people access into buildings and unit offices. The seamless integration of these technologies not only enhances security but also streamlines the user experience.

Medialess security access solutions have been widely accepted and adopted, especially at commercial and industrial buildings where personnel accessing the building or factory compound requires high-security identification as well as speedy processing during rush hours.

While in residential buildings, the trend is expected to catch on soon due to demand for a safer and more secure living environment.

Shift to medialess picking up speed

So, why is this shift towards medialess security access gaining momentum? The answer lies in the inherent limitations and concerns associated with traditional key or card-dependent systems.

Carrying around physical keys or cards can be cumbersome, and there is always the risk of them being lost, stolen, or duplicated. By eliminating the need for such physical media, medialess security access alleviate these concerns and provide a more convenient and secure alternative.

Face recognition lift access

Living in an era characterised by Al and cutting-edge technology, it only makes sense to embrace these advancements in our daily lives. The use of facial recognition biometric and RFID technology in building security solutions is poised to revolutionise the way we interact with our surroundings.

Today, technology is evolving so quickly and it is changing the way we navigate and access buildings.

Imagine walking into your workplace or apartment building and seamlessly gaining entry without having to dig through your bag for keys or cards. Your face becomes your key and this is what medialess security access promises to deliver.

Face recognition main header atirah

Beyond the convenience factor, these technologies offer a myriad of benefits.

From an enhanced area control perspective and during emergencies like a fire, medialess security access – integrated from the entrance and the facility to the unit management system — is able to support building security management in quickly tracking and identifying trapped individuals at specific units, levels and sections to facilitate speedy rescue missions. Such integrated building security technology is also able to prevent unauthorised access in the event of lost pt stolen media.

Medialess security access systems provide a comprehensive and robust security solution. Moreover, the integration of facial recognition biometric and RFID technology enables seamless tracking and management through centralised dashboards.

From entrance management to building and unit management, these systems offer unparalleled visibility and control, empowering administrators to efficiently monitor and manage access.

In conclusion, the trend towards medialess security access represents a paradigm shift in building security solutions, particularly in smart buildings. By harnessing the power of facial recognition biometric and RFID technology, we can create a safer, more efficient and more user-friendly environment.

Embracing these advancements is not just about keeping up with the times; it’s about embracing the future and unlocking a world of possibilities.

FINDING SECURITY IN UNCERTAIN TIMES.

Through the decades, a small-scale family business providing autogate systems has evolved into a company that specialises in complete solutions in security and automation systems.

Founded in 1980 by the Low family’s patriarch, Magnet Security and Automation Sdn Bhd (MAG) now meets the needs of the Malaysian and South-East Asian markets.

“Over the years we have been selling stand-alone products, which sometimes can be a little infuriating for some of our clients, ” said MAG chief executive officer Jimmy Low, who is the successor and son of the founder.

963846 e1609214083262

“We strive to stay at the leading edge of new technology,” said Jimmy Low.

He shared that the company aspired to be different which also happens to be part of its ethos.

“With market insights, we saw an opportunity to provide a holistic solution by integrating relevant products into one solution for our customers such as dealers, office project managers, building consultants and end consumers.

We have progressed from just providing standalone products to a comprehensive, integrated solution for three key target areas such as MAG Guardhouse Solution, MAG Building Solution and MAG House Solution, ” he added.

MAG has also expanded its services to selecting, designing, and building solutions to ensure customers’ peace of mind.

With some 238 projects under its belt, MAG has racked up a diversified portfolio of clients that includes buildings, properties with guardhouses and even homes.

Prominent landmarks protected by its business solutions are Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) in Cheras, KL, the Immigration checkpoint in Bukit Kayu Hitam and Sarawak Energy Green building.

963845

Magnet Security and Automation Sdn Bhd’s quality control team at work to ensure every product complies to the stringent quality requirement of ISO9001:2015.

Low stressed the importance of a team that shared similar aspirations with the company.

“Our i-Magnet Cares service ensures that we can resolve dealers technical and warranty inquiries in the shortest time possible, ” he added.

With a robust network of over 1,500 dealers, MAG is fully equipped with the necessary technical and product knowledge to serve customers.

“We strive to stay at the leading edge of new technology, and we work hard to make sure that our clients receive the full benefits of this new technology, ” he said.

Rolling with the times

With Malaysians working from home and office buildings remaining vacant in the wake of the movement control order (MCO), Low believes that this raises security concerns.

“A lot of valuable equipment and items are now left in empty buildings and are susceptible to theft and vandalism.

963847 Copy

Integrated security solutions with advanced control software for seamless surveillance management.

“It is necessary for business owners and building managers to make sure their occupant’s valuables are protected, ” said Low.

With an integrated security system, this can be done while away from workplaces, he stressed.

This would grant business and factory operators greater control over the building’s security to make operations easier and more effective.

“Operating from a centralised location, our software can integrate all security systems within the building as well as its remote branches ensuring greater safety and peace of mind, ” he added.

Jimmy believes that by filtering out people at building entrances, 90% of security threats could be effectively eliminated.

The MagEtegra is one of its well-known security software suites that monitors tenants and visitors entering a building.

Door, parking, lift and pedestrian gate access as well as multifunction surveillance cameras (CCTV) and timed attendance are all managed from a single platform.

The software suite is user-friendly, making it suitable for small offices and powerful enough to manage security for an entire building.

Keeping communities safe and secure

Low shared that working from home is turning homes into primary workspaces and this could have its own set of shortcomings.

According to the Malaysia 2020 Crime and Safety report, residential break-ins are common and single-occupant homes are the most targeted.

Gated high-rise apartment complexes with 24-hour guards and electronic access control systems have a much lower burglary rate.

For residents in gated communities, MAG’s guardhouse solution helps streamline visitor registration and resident gate access to ensure effective surveillance of security personnel.

Residents would also benefit from the long-range reader, where entering and exiting their gated homes would be a smooth experience.

963844

Magnet Security and Automation Sdn Bhd’s latest Xclone long range reader with encrypted access card helps increase security by preventing access cards to be cloned.

Furthermore, the MAG House Solution is equipped with end-to-end product offerings for convenient security with autogate systems, enhanced CCTV, burglar alarm and motion detector.

“With media reports highlighting that most burglaries happen at night, installing a CCTV that shows clear video straight to your mobile phone is good evidence for the authorities.

“However, an advanced alarm system and motion detector installed around your house compound is sometimes good enough to scare off robbers before they even touch the walls of a home, ” said Low.

BARRIER GATE INSTALLATION

By Highlight

What are 6 important things to take note for correct barrier gate installation?

Barrier gates can be seen almost everywhere in Malaysia, from the urban areas to the suburbs, barrier gates have become the frontline of security in car parks of housing areas, shopping malls, office buildings etc.

barrier gate installation

You will find that different installer will quote you different installation price. Some quotation is very cheap and some quotation might seemed more expensive. Before you make your final decision, it is worthwhile to understand some of the important aspect of barrier gate installation and how it impact the installation price of a barrier gate. Therefore, before your next barrier gate installation, here are some things to take note of in order to get the right barrier gate installation.

1.  Road condition.
The cabinet of the auto barrier gate system should be stationed on an even and concrete surface. Otherwise, the installer has to build a stable and horizontal foundation pit to support the automatic barrier gate, especially on slopes. In addition, the technician has to make sure that there are no pipes or cables on it. However, do remember to lay corrugated tubes and power cables before the concrete hardens.

Malaysia barrier gate installation

2. Fixing barrier gate.
The price you pay for the automatic barrier gate is inclusive of its setup from top to bottom. The first step begins with fixing the car park barrier on the ground. In order to get the right position, technicians will usually use a pen or soft tapes to mark holes with the clamping blocks. Once they have confirmed the position of the holes, then they will start drilling them. Using screws and bolts, the auto barrier gate system is then fixed to the base.

diagram 6.3

3. Inner part wiring.
When a dealer installs the automatic barrier gate for clients, the price includes a full installation of the auto barrier gate system. According to the wiring diagram provided, the technician will be able to install the system for their clients. When fixing up the control box, the right way is to connect the triple mounted button to the last terminal block. It is better for technicians to remove the terminal block, so that the procedure of screwing in the wires is easy. Wiring should be neat inside the barrier gate metal housing.

4. Adjustment of spring.
After the arm of the automatic barrier gate has been screwed in, and the wiring has been done, then it’s time to check the movement of the arm. The installers will turn the power on, and manually move the motor for the parking barrier arm. If the barrier feels heavier when going downwards, it means that the spring is too tight. If it feels heavier when moving upwards, then the spring is too loose. The technician will to free the clutch at 45 degree and adjust the spring (tighten it or loosen it) until the arm can achieve equilibrium position at 45 degree. If this step is not done correctly, barrier gate motor will need to endure unnecessary mechanical burden that will significantly shorten the life time of the barrier gate.

5. Loop detector
The parking barrier gate can be installed with a loop detector. A loop detector functions to trigger barrier gate’s arm to automatically close after a vehicle have completely pass through the passage. Of course, the price of the installation would be different because the ground loop detector requires a groove to be made in the ground. The 25mm-deep groove allows the installer to make 4 loops with the wire. Usually the loop detector controller is installed inside the housing of parking barrier gate.

6. EARTH connection
Barrier gate installed outdoor is exposed to electrical surge from lightning. We strongly recommend AC230 surge protector is installed to the power supply connection inside the barrier gate to prevent it from being burned by lighning. On top of that, barrier gate metal housing must be connected to EARTH to ensure the extra FATAL currents can be drained effectively during rainy days. We definitely do not want anyone to be electrocuted when they touch the barrier gate during rainy days.

TOP 4 FEATURES & BENEFITS OF USING ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCKS

By Highlight

Conventional locks are used to secure and limit entry or access towards certain resources. They come in all shapes and sizes. Most often, we use locks to secure our gates, our doors and even our cars. With the evolution of lock technology over the years, modern locks nowadays are more than just a simple padlock and key. Electromagnetic locks are now a modern and popular alternative for those looking to keep the building or room secure.

What are electromagnetic locks?

As the name suggests, electromagnetic locks work by using the basic principles of electromagnetism. A standard electromagnetic lock features several main components which includes an armature plate and electromagnet – which is usually a steel plate. Whenever there is electricity, the electromagnet becomes magnetized and is attracted to the armature plate which creates a locking mechanism.

Modern electromagnetic locks are able to keep doors secure and locked even under stress. In addition, they also provide a fail-safe as compared to traditional locks. In case of an emergency, most electromagnetic locks will automatically release whenever the power is cut out. Many are looking towards magnetic locks as they provide several distinct advantages over their traditional cousins.

Door with EM lock

Benefits of electromagnetic locks
1. Ease of installation
First and foremost, electromagnetic locks are simple in construction as opposed to conventional ones. While the latter often has many interconnecting parts, electromagnetic locks only consist of several components. This will make the installation process particularly simple and can be done in a short time. With an easy installation, there is also less chance for mistakes to happen.

2. Fast, efficient and safety
Next, another benefit of electromagnetic locks is a fast and efficient operation. As the lock is powered by electric, the door is unlocked immediately when the power is cut or when the switch is activated. As compared to manually unlocking padlocks with keys, magnetic ones save a lot of time. This is especially appealing to those requiring immediate access to the resources or doors that will be frequently used or in the event of a fire.

3. Remote Access Control
Other than that, the availability of remote operation is also one of the main features. By flicking a switch remotely, you can control the locks without needing to be physically present. This is why many are installing electromagnetic locks in Malaysia.

4. Durability
Lastly, magnetic locks are also sturdy and less prone to damage even if someone decides to force it open with a crowbar. It can be expected to last the lifetime of the door.

5 ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATIC GATE FOR YOUR HOME

By Highlight
articulos domotica 1

Security

The most obvious advantage of having an automatic gate for your home in Malaysia is the added security. Automatic gates can only be opened by using a remote control, switch or card. By having a physical barrier that can only be accessed by authorized individuals, you can prevent unwanted trespassers from entering your houses. On the other hand, young children or pets will remain safe with an automatic gate. You can prevent them from accidentally wandering off to the streets where something unfortunate could happen.

Convenience

Another advantage of installing an automatic gate is the automated process of opening and closing the gates. Imagine getting yourselves drenched while opening your home gate manually. By having an automatic gate in Malaysia, you can open your gates easily while staying dry and comfortable in your car. In addition to that, you can even unlock your gates for any visitors from the comfort of your couch.
