FingerTec Ingress Access Control Safeguarding Important Documents in Nairobi

By Ms. Fazalina Zamidon, Assistant Sales Manager, FingerTec Worldwide

ECS Limited is a technology-based company focusing on providing smart card technology and securing vital hard copy documentations such as land title deeds, various certificates including school certificates, birth certificates and other valuable documents for depositors in the capital of Kenya, Nairobi. Due to its business nature, the company had scouted for a suitable system to secure their entire office premises.

By the end of 2013, ECS had deployed FingerTec’s Ingress access control system across the entire two floors of their building with its 28 rooms with biometrics access control system to achieve greater security.

In total the deployment involved 16 units of Ingressus II, 48 units of R2 and 13 units R2c. Ingressus II works excellently to keep the data secure and Ingress was chosen due to its reliability in reports, multiple clients on one server, first card and multiple card opening, system integrations with CCTV and alarm systems. Ingress is not only in compliance with the current needs; it also leaves a room for future expansion. The choice of biometrics system over other types of access technology is made due to the fact that fingerprints are unique and inflexible and every fingerprint record comes with its corresponding time stamp and details of the personnel accessing a certain areas or rooms, perfect for a secured system and its precise audit trail.

Security is second to none in this business of guarding hardcopy documentations and ECS turned to FingerTec for a solution. ECS, established in 2005 is also a FingerTec reseller in the land of the lion, Kenya.
