"We don't just install devices.. We build systems that last for years"
At Almasa, we believe that the quality of installation is more critical than the device itself. A high-end camera with poor installation equals zero value. A powerful network with random organization equals chaos. Here is our working methodology (Almasa Standard):
1️⃣ CCTV Security Systems
The eye that never sleeps.. How do we plan it?
🛠️ Professional Technician's Guide (Installation Methodology):
Site Survey: Don't start drilling yet! First, identify "Blind Spots." Draw a technical plan that covers 100% of entrances and exits.
Lens Selection:
Use a 2.8mm lens for wide areas (general surveillance).
Use a 6mm or 8mm lens for long corridors or focusing on point-of-sale (Zoomed view).
Cable Dressing: Cables must be laid inside Conduits to protect them from sun and moisture. The "Rack appearance" reflects your professionalism; always use a Cable Organizer.
Securing the Recorder: The NVR/DVR is the "Black Box." It must be placed in a secure, well-ventilated location, protected by a locked Metal Rack.
🤝 Client's Guide (Understanding the Quote):
Value for Money: When you find a cheaper offer, ask about the cable type (Pure Copper vs. Mixed?) and the hard drive (Is it a dedicated WD Purple for surveillance or a standard PC drive that will fail within a month?).
Strengths: A well-planned system provides "Deterrence" even before monitoring.
Weakness: Skimping on the Power Supply is the #1 cause of camera burnout and system failure.
2️⃣ Networking & Infrastructure
The company's backbone.. Zero room for error.
🛠️ Professional Technician's Guide (Foundational Rules):
Isolation: It is strictly forbidden to run Data cables next to Power cables in the same conduit to avoid Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Maintain a minimum safe distance of 30cm.
Labeling: A cable without a "Number" is a dead cable. Every end must be labeled at the Rack and the Faceplate for easy future maintenance.
Quality Assurance: Don't just rely on the switch light. Use specialized testers (Fluke Test) to verify data transfer speeds and Termination efficiency.
🤝 Client's Guide (Speed & Stability):
The Importance: A poor network means "System Down" for employees, laggy camera feeds, and printer disconnections.
Negotiation: Don't look for the cheapest price per meter; look for "Certified" cabling. Certified Cat6 cables guarantee 1000Mbps, while counterfeits may not exceed 100Mbps.
Pro Tip: Request a Cable Map upon delivery; it is your right for future maintenance.
3️⃣ Access Control Systems
Smart discipline.. and privilege control.
🛠️ Professional Technician's Guide (Operational Accuracy):
Ideal Height: The device should be installed at a height of 140-150cm to suit the average user's height.
Securing Doors: When installing Maglocks, ensure there is an emergency Break Glass button and a UPS (backup power) so employees are not trapped during power outages.
Training: Your mission doesn't end with installation. You must train the HR staff on generating reports and connecting the device to the network.
🤝 Client's Guide (Security, Not Just a Fingerprint):
Strengths: Modern systems prevent "Buddy Punching," especially those using Face Recognition.
Risk: Installing an "Indoor" device in a place exposed to direct sunlight reduces the lens's lifespan by half. Consult us for the optimal placement.
4️⃣ Project Management & Handover
How do we guarantee your rights and ours?
🛠️ Technician's Protocol (Handover):
Trial Period: Run the system for 48 hours under stress to ensure no manufacturing defects exist.
Documentation: Deliver a full folder to the client containing: (Admin Passwords - Distribution Map - Device Manuals - Warranty Certificates).
Cleanliness: "Leave it cleaner than you found it." Wire scraps and drilling debris must be removed immediately.
🤝 Client's Guide (Professional Acceptance):
How to Accept? Don't just look at the screens. Ask for a "Playback" test, and request a power cut test to verify that the UPS is functioning.
Warranty Importance: At Almasa, our warranty includes "Maintenance Visits," not just parts replacement. This ensures your business continuity.
