What it is

Security & ICT
aren't separate jobs.

The same cables that carry your camera footage carry your network traffic. The same kiosk that controls visitor access also runs your queue management. We treat them as one project.

Most projects fail in the gap between "the security people" and "the IT people." When the same team owns both — the wiring, the network, the kiosks, the readers — the gap disappears.

BEALARMED's ICT division grew out of the practical reality that every modern security system is a networked system. Once you're already pulling Cat6 for cameras, you may as well do it properly for the rest of the building. Once you're installing a biometric terminal at the door, you may as well install a queue-management terminal in the lobby.

We design, install and maintain structured cabling, network infrastructure, queue-management systems, interactive kiosks, digital signage, and RFID-based identification systems — including library book detection installations for universities, public libraries and schools.

One contractor, one accountable team, one BWP-priced contract.

Service pillars

Six things
we do well.

Each can be commissioned standalone or bundled with the others. Most clients combine at least two — and those projects move fastest because there's no inter-vendor coordination.

01PILLAR

Structured cabling

Cat6 / Cat6a copper, multimode and singlemode fibre, voice infrastructure — installed to TIA/EIA and ISO 11801 standards, certified, and labelled.

02PILLAR

Network infrastructure

Switching, routing, wireless, VLAN segmentation and edge security — the network as a piece of considered architecture, not an accident.

03PILLAR

Interactive kiosks

Self-service kiosks, digital signage, visitor terminals and information points — robust hardware, branded skins, integrated with backend systems.

04PILLAR

Queue management

Ticketing systems, calling displays, branch performance analytics — the difference between an angry waiting room and an ordered one.

05New offering

RFID library book detection

Anti-theft gates, self-service kiosks, inventory management — full-stack RFID for university, public, and school libraries.

06PILLAR

Support & maintenance

Ongoing service contracts with defined SLAs — for systems we installed, and for systems you inherited from someone else.

Featured offering

RFID library
book detection.

Modern libraries replace the bar code with RFID — every book carries a tiny radio tag that triggers anti-theft gates on the way out, enables single-pass self-checkout at kiosks, and supports faster shelf inventory than a librarian with a scanner.

We supply, install, configure and maintain the full stack: gates, kiosks, librarian workstations, handheld inventory scanners, tags and the management software that ties them together.

Where it fits

Built around
real environments.

Each sector has its own ICT logic. We design around the operational reality, not just the technology spec.

Sector · 01

Banking & finance

Branch ICT delivered with the same accountability as the security stack — cabling, network, queue management and signage as one project.

  • Branch network design & install
  • Queue management systems
  • Customer-facing kiosks
Sector · 02

Education & libraries

RFID library systems for universities and public libraries, structured cabling for campuses, and AV / signage for lecture halls and resource centres.

  • RFID library book detection
  • Self-service borrow / return
  • Handheld inventory scanning
Sector · 03

Government & public sector

Cabling, network and visitor systems for government buildings and citizen-facing offices, delivered to procurement-friendly specifications.

  • Citizen kiosks & signage
  • Multi-floor cabling
  • Visitor management
Sector · 04

Retail & hospitality

Network and kiosk infrastructure for retail floors, hotels, restaurants — fast, branded, durable, and integrated with payment and POS systems.

  • Self-service ordering kiosks
  • Digital signage networks
  • Wi-Fi at scale
How we deliver

Three stages.
One accountable team.

Most ICT projects fail because nobody owns the boundary between scope and reality. We own all of it — from first walkthrough to long-term support.

01

Scope & survey

We walk the site, map the existing infrastructure, and produce a written scope with a clear, line-itemed quote in BWP. No surprises later.

02

Design & install

Engineered design to TIA/EIA / ISO 11801 standards. Certified technicians install, label, terminate, and test every cable, point and device.

03

Maintain & support

Optional service contracts for ongoing maintenance, fault response and lifecycle management — including systems we didn't originally install.

Common questions

Things prospects
always ask first.

Have a specific scope in mind? Send it through — we usually reply within a working day.

Both. Some clients commission a one-off install — for example, structured cabling for a new branch — and handle their own ongoing IT. Others want lifecycle support: ongoing maintenance, fault response, and refresh planning. Our service contracts are designed to plug into either model.
Yes. We do takeovers regularly — we'll audit the existing system, document its current state, list anything that's non-compliant or end-of-life, and quote for the maintenance contract from there. The audit step is what makes the takeover work; you can't responsibly support a system you don't understand.
Three things: collection size (number of items to tag), throughput (how busy the entrance/return points are), and integration (which library management system you use). From those we produce a phased proposal — typically gate + kiosks first, tagging in parallel, then handheld inventory scanners for ongoing audits.
When it makes sense, yes — and most of the time it does. CCTV cameras need network. Access control needs network. Kiosks need network. Treating it as one project means one cable infrastructure, one project manager, one contract — and significantly lower delivery risk.
In-stock items (cable, common switches, standard kiosk hardware) typically ship within 1–2 weeks. Specialist items (RFID gates, large kiosk volumes, enterprise-grade switches) typically run 4–8 weeks depending on the regional supplier. We'll always confirm lead times in the formal quote, with options if you need faster delivery.
Yes. All BEALARMED quotes — including ICT projects with imported hardware — are priced in BWP, with import duties, VAT and shipping clearly broken out. We source primarily through SACU regional channels, which keeps the customs framework predictable.

together.

Our ICT work is strongest when it sits alongside the security stack. One contractor, one cable run, one accountable team.
