FAQ's

A pedestal security system is a type of physical security solution designed to protect and secure valuable assets or equipment. It typically consists of a sturdy pedestal or column that houses various security components, such as surveillance cameras, access control devices, intercom systems, and alarm systems.

At Tagmax, we are experts in the Pedestal Security System Industry.

Deterrence: The presence of a visible pedestal security system can act as a deterrent to potential criminals, reducing the likelihood of theft, vandalism, or other criminal activities.

Surveillance: Pedestal systems often include high-quality surveillance cameras that provide real-time monitoring of the surroundings. This allows security personnel to identify suspicious activities, record evidence, and respond promptly to potential threats.

Access control: Many pedestal security systems incorporate access control devices such as card readers, keypads, or biometric scanners. These help regulate entry and exit, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access restricted areas.

Integration: Pedestal systems can be integrated with other security systems and technologies, such as alarm systems or video management software. This allows for a comprehensive and centralized security management approach.

Prevention: By acting as a visible deterrent, pedestal systems can discourage criminal activities before they occur.

Detection: Pedestal security systems are equipped with advanced surveillance cameras that can capture high-quality video footage in real-time.

Monitoring and response: With live video feeds and access control integration, security personnel can actively monitor the environment and respond quickly to any suspicious activity or security breaches.

Evidence collection: In the event of an incident or security breach, the recorded video footage from pedestal security systems can serve as valuable evidence for investigations, prosecutions, or insurance claims.

Hidden Installation: The system is concealed beneath the floor, making it difficult for potential intruders to identify or tamper with the security measures in place.

Comprehensive Coverage: The sensors and detectors can monitor a wide area, providing comprehensive coverage and detecting any disturbances across the entire floor space.

Early Detection: The system can detect unauthorized access attempts at an early stage, allowing for prompt response and minimizing potential damage or loss.

Discreetness: The discreet nature of underfloor security systems makes them suitable for installations in high-profile or aesthetically sensitive environments, such as museums, galleries, or historical buildings.

Underfloor security systems use a combination of various sensors and technologies to monitor and protect the floor space.

These systems typically include pressure sensors, motion detectors, seismic sensors, or even fibre-optic cables that can detect vibrations or movement.

Underfloor security systems are designed to be highly reliable and provide accurate detection of unauthorized access or intrusions.

Regular maintenance, testing, and calibration are also essential to ensure the system remains in optimal working condition.

A concealed door security system is a specialised mechanism designed to enhance the security of a door while maintaining a discreet appearance.

It combines various features and technologies to provide robust protection against unauthorized entry.

Concealed door security systems can significantly enhance the security of a door, making it more difficult for intruders to gain unauthorized access.

Yes, at Tagmax we can retrofit concealed door security systems into existing doors.

Theft prevention: Retail security tags act as a deterrent to potential thieves, reducing the likelihood of shoplifting and protecting merchandise.

Improved customer experience: By reducing theft, retailers can maintain a larger inventory of high-demand items, ensuring availability for genuine customers.

Cost savings: Investing in retail security tags can save retailers money by minimising losses due to theft. It also reduces the need for additional security personnel.

Retail security tags work using different technologies, but the most common ones include radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic (EM) systems.

RF tags contain a microchip and an antenna that emit a signal at a certain frequency.

EM tags, on the other hand, use magnetic strips that activate an alarm when passing through detection systems.

These tags are deactivated or removed at the checkout counter using a specialised device.

Clothing security tags typically work using radio frequency (RF) technology. They consist of a tag housing that contains an electronic circuit and an antenna.

When a garment with a security tag attached passes through an RF detection system at the store's entrance or exit, it activates the tag, and if it has not been properly deactivated, an alarm is triggered.

CCTV systems offer several benefits, including:

• Crime prevention and deterrence
• Surveillance and monitoring
• Evidence collection
• Employee and public safety
• Remote access and management
• Operational monitoring

Choosing the right CCTV system involves considering several factors:

• Purpose: Determine the specific objectives and requirements for the CCTV system, such as the area to be monitored, the level of detail required, and the desired functionality (e.g., facial recognition, license plate recognition).
• Camera types
• Resolution
• Storage capacity
• Scalability: Consider whether the system should be expandable in the future to accommodate additional cameras or features.
• Integration: Determine if you need to integrate the CCTV system with other security or building management systems.
• Budget

Yes, there are legal considerations when installing retail CCTV security systems. It is essential to comply with privacy laws and regulations to protect the rights of employees and customers. Some key points to consider include:

• Disclosure
• Privacy protection
• Retention and access
• Data security
• Consultation with legal professionals

In-store analytics refers to the process of collecting, analysing, and interpreting data related to customer behaviour and interactions within a physical retail store. It involves using various technologies and tools to gather information on aspects such as foot traffic, customer demographics, buying patterns, and interactions with products and displays.

In-store analytics provides valuable insights to retailers about how their customers behave and make purchasing decisions within the store. By analysing this data, retailers can optimise store layouts, product placements, pricing strategies, and marketing efforts to enhance the overall customer experience, increase sales, and improve operational efficiency.

In-store analytics involves collecting various types of data, including:

• Foot traffic
• Dwell time
• Heatmaps
• Conversion rates
• Product interaction
• Transaction data
