Kamir has introduced a new HikvisionCodeks integration, developed in response to the growing demand for facial recognition–based authentication. The new solution connects the well-established Jantar Codeks software for time and attendance and access control with Hikvision terminals equipped with facial recognition technology. The integration delivers a modernized approach to user management, enabling faster and more efficient synchronization between software and devices.

The system supports three communication modes with terminals—local, via HikPartnerPro Cloud, and via HikConnectTeams Cloud—enhancing deployment flexibility. Cloud communication does not require port forwarding, which further improves security and simplifies installation. Users can choose from multiple authentication methods, including face, fingerprint, card, PIN, and QR code. The integration also allows the configuration of up to six status buttons according to user needs, as well as live viewing from the terminals.

Kamir notes that all users who already operate at least one Hikvision facial recognition terminal can request a demo license for both Jantar Codeks and the HikvisionCodeks integration. The company adds that technical support and solution demonstrations are available to all interested users through its official contact channels.

Aikom Technology is celebrating 20 years of operations, reaffirming its position as a leading value-added distributor in the fields of telecommunications, networking technologies, security, and professional communications. Founded in 2006 as a distributor of wireless broadband solutions, the company has continuously expanded its portfolio and organizational structure over the past two decades. Through close cooperation with system integrators, installers, internet service providers, and ICT operators, Aikom has built a strong reputation as a reliable technology partner.

Key development milestones include the expansion of the company’s offering in 2012 to include Professional Mobile Radio solutions and the establishment of the Security & Surveillance business unit in 2013.

A major turning point came in 2023, when Aikom launched its internationalization strategy and entered new foreign markets. Today, the company generates approximately €30 million in annual revenue and operates through teams in Italy, Croatia, and a newly established business unit in Istanbul.

Company President Sabrina Vescovi emphasizes that innovation and people are the foundation of long-term success. “For twenty years, we have invested in expertise, reliability, and technologies designed for mission-critical and business-critical environments, and this milestone above all belongs to our international team of young professionals,” Vescovi stated, adding that motivation, ambition, and business ethics remain the company’s greatest strengths as it prepares for new projects and a stronger international presence.

General Manager Mauro Renzi recalls that Aikom began as a focused market project that gradually evolved into a comprehensive ICT and security distributor. “Over the past twenty years, the company has continuously broadened its horizons and optimized its offering to fully address the needs of the ICT, telecommunications, and security markets. The establishment of our company in Croatia to cover the Balkan region, as well as our most recent presence in Turkey, can be seen as a symbolic gift Aikom gives itself on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary,” Renzi said.

Company Alarm automatika marked the International Day of Education by organizing its first professional training of 2026, held in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia. The training focused on Wi-Tek network equipment designed for real-world security and CCTV installations.

Installers and B2B partners had the opportunity to explore solutions tailored for demanding installation environments and everyday field work through hands-on sessions. Particular interest was shown in the eWeb and SD-LAN technologies, which were presented through concrete real-life use cases. Participants were able to see firsthand how these functions simplify network configuration, monitoring, and maintenance in security systems. The training took place in a highly interactive atmosphere, featuring experience sharing, practical questions, and active equipment testing.

The event once again confirmed the growing market interest in reliable and practical network solutions in the security sector, while Alarm automatika emphasized that such educational initiatives are essential for improving the overall quality of security systems and announced additional trainings in the coming period.

EGAL, a Ljubljana-based company, has presented the latest innovations from AEM, a global leader in cable and network infrastructure testing, with a focus on new test adapters and enhanced software functionality. The key highlight is the AD-NET-PASSTHRU Ethernet pass-thru adapter for TestPro and Network Service Assistant (NSA) devices, which enables in-line testing of network connectivity and PoE power while connected devices, such as security cameras, remain in active operation. This approach allows continuous monitoring of link speed, network stability, and PoE load over extended periods, with precise identification of connection losses or performance degradation.

AEM has further expanded its range of coax adapters with the new AD-COAX-TYPE-N 50 Ohm solution for RF applications, alongside continued support for existing 75 Ohm adapters on the TestPro and NSA platforms. New OTDR adapters for single-mode and multimode fiber have also been introduced, further enhancing optical network testing capabilities. Additional practical value comes from the new BareWire adapters, which allow cable testing prior to final termination, eliminating the need to sacrifice connectors.

Alongside the hardware updates, the TestDataPro results management software now supports both Windows and macOS platforms, with enhanced cloud features including CSV export, analytics, and recertification. As noted by Lisa Schwartz, Director of Product Marketing at AEM, all new developments are driven directly by user feedback, with the goal of long-term investment protection and continuous improvement of field testing solutions.

With the start of the new school term, security guards are being deployed in schools across Croatia, becoming a visible part of everyday life in many educational institutions. As reported by dnevnik.hr, security personnel are already undergoing specialized training to prepare them for work in the sensitive school environment. The training programme includes self-defence techniques, proper use of security equipment, and procedures for handling various risk situations. Special emphasis is placed on psychological preparation and responding to real-life scenarios, ranging from communication with distressed parents to dealing with unauthorized visitors.

Security guards in schools will not carry firearms, relying instead on physical readiness and standard protective equipment. The practical part of the training lasts a total of 60 hours, with instructors noting a high level of preparedness among participants. The programme includes both individuals already working in schools and unemployed candidates who see this initiative as a new professional opportunity. The job is considered attractive due to regular working hours and stable employment conditions. Security guards emphasize that the safety of children is their absolute priority and that their role in schools is primarily preventive.
