Some of our prestigious clients are:

Client:
Seef Properties
Project:
Seef & Isa Town Malls
Year:
1996 – to date

Since the first phase of Seef Mall was constructed in 1996, Arencon Security Est. has been awarded all the CCTV and intrusion detection work associated with Seef Mall and it’s many extensions and other buildings in the Seef Development and the existing Isa Town Mall. The project scope includes perimeter intruder detection using long-range passive infra-red technology, door contacts at perimeter doors and extensive CCTV coverage with both fixed and PTZ cameras located inside and outside the buildings. The last phase completed in 2003 included replacing the multiplexers & VCRs associated with the early phases with digital video recording and replacing existing monochrome cameras with colour. Present camera count is over 130.

Client:
Arab Banking Corporation
Project:
Access Control System
Year:
2000

An access control system covering 40 doors in a 10 storey building at the Diplomatic Area. The proximity system reporting to an NT-based front end replaced a system based on magnetic-stripe technology installed in the 1980’s and which was obsolete and unreliable. An off-site disaster recovery computer room suite was also incorporated into the system using the existing WAN link between it and the main bank premises. The project was executed mostly outside normal working hours to minimise disruption to normal bank operation.

Client:
Saudi Aramco
Project:
Integrated Security
Year:
2000

Provision of an access control, intrusion detection and CCTV surveillance system for the Saudi Aramco Air Cargo Facility at King Fahd International Airport. The project required the access control, intrusion detection and CCTV systems to be integrated into the overall airport security systems and monitored from the airport Security Control Centre (SCC). In addition, local monitoring consoles in the building itself were provided for use by the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) and Customs for decentralised-level security monitoring and surveillance in their respective jurisdictions. Since the existing airport systems (designed in the late 1980’s) were no longer supported, special interfaces had to be engineered and procured to ensure a consistent user interface for monitoring personnel rotated around the many airport facilities and to ensure compatibility with the supervisory-level monitoring systems at the SCC. The system was engineered, procured, integrated, tested, shipped, installed & commissioned in just 20 weeks and in time for the Facility to open on schedule.

Client:
Gulf Aluminium Rolling Mill Co.
Project:
Digital recording of CCTV
Year:
2001 – to date

Provision of a digital recording system covering existing process-monitoring CCTV cameras and provision of additional general surveillance cameras in the process areas. A number of phases have been implemented from 2001 onwards. All camera to video server and video server to head-end transmission is implemented using fibre-optic cables for maximum noise immunity in an industrial environment. A total of 105 cameras are currently included in the system and authorised users can access live & recorded pictures via the Garmco LAN. The system presently contains over 3,200GB of digital storage capacity.

Client:
Bahrain Convention & Exhibitions Bureau
Project:
CCTV system for Bahrain International Exhibition Centre
Year:
2002 – to date

Supply and installation of a CCTV surveillance system with digital recording facilities. The initial phase incorporated 32 static colour cameras covering the main exhibition halls (Hall 1 & Hall 2) and the Link Building which was under construction during performance of the work, thus requiring a phased commissioning of Hall 1 and Hall 2 separately, followed by the Link Building. The system was intended mainly for management information and was not permanently monitored. Subsequent phases replaced some of the static dome cameras in the Halls with PTZ domes and added external PTZ domes for car park surveillance. The latest phase saw the installation of a Baxall matrix control system to provide a centralised security management facility in the Link Building capable of observing & controlling all cameras throughout the complex from a permanently manned location.

Client:
Six Construct / Ministry of Works
Project:
CCTV system for Shaikh Khalifa Marine Bridge (Hidd Causeway)
Year:
2003

Supply and installation of a CCTV surveillance system for this prestigious project linking Hidd to Manama via the existing Mina Sulman port area. A total of eighteen cameras provide extensive coverage of accessible areas of the bridge and abutments to facilitate security monitoring. All cameras are connected back to a digital recording system using optical fibre cables to avoid potential interference from the high voltage cables running through the bridge utility corridors from the Hidd Power Station to primary substations in Manama.

Client:
Ahli United Bank
Project:
Integrated Security system for new Headquarters Building
Year:
2003/2004

Supply and installation of an Integrated Access Control, Intrusion Detection and CCTV surveillance system for this prestigious project in the Seef District. A total of forty-one colour cameras, static and PTZ, provide extensive coverage of the building interior and exterior. All camera images are digitally recorded and may be viewed by suitably authorised personnel via the AUB intranet as well as live at the security operator’s console. An extensive access control system covering over fifty doors within the building complex uses proximity cardreaders, all transactions being reported back to the PC-based operator workstation at the security room. Integration between the access control system and CCTV system facilitates automatic call-up of static and PTZ cameras (with pre-set positioning) in response to alarm events and access transactions. Additional equipment provided within the overall project package included two sets of hydraulically-operated rising bollard barriers, one set of three at the customer carpark entrance and one set of two at the employee carpark / delivery entrance.

Client:
The Constitutional Court
Project:
CCTV system for Court Building
Year:
2005


Supply and installation of a CCTV surveillance system for this prestigious project in Manama District. A total of seventeen colour cameras, static and PTZ, provide extensive coverage of the building interior. All camera images are digitally recorded and may be viewed by suitably authorised personnel via the Court’s intranet as well as live at the security operator’s console. Special attention had to be paid to the aesthetics of the installed system as well as the installation method in a historic building original parts of which used traditional 1930’s stone & mortar and rafter & matting construction techniques which made cable installation a challenging exercise. The work was completed within a very short (4 week) time frame dictated by the date of the official opening by HM the King.
