We've had problems with our underfloor heating in Edinburgh for quite some time. Neil was recommended to us and he came at the arranged time and replaced all the controls and thermostats. He (and Derek) definitely know their stuff - they have many years experience in this area. They then spent time testing thoroughly and followed up the next morning to ensure all was working. I bought a house where a major selling point was 'The Smart Home System'. The system had many faults that the builder failed to address.

IDES LTD was formed over 30 years ago by Neil McCarry and Alan Duffy to provide a 'one stop shop' specialist security and electrical installation company throughout Scotland.

CCTV equipment can provide instant alerts when trouble occurs, ensuring that crime against people, theft and vandalism are all substantially reduced. And when crime does occur, CCTV system incident recording can provide valuable evidence, improving the likelihood of a conviction. CCTV security system technology and CCTV equipment can be used in both internal and external environments to watch over and protect people, property, vehicles and valuables. Systems with integrated CCTV can be developed to deal with particular problems.

Access Control allows your premises to be secured electronically, controlling where and when people can move around properties. Those with authorised entry will carry a card or fob key for quick entry. For clients requesting more advanced systems we provide retina and fingerprint scanners. Within system software in addition to granting access, most systems provide an audit trail of door passes, this means that specific entrants can be monitored and in event of fire roster lists can easily be produced to check who had entered/exited the building prior to activation.

With IDES you can also combine different systems maintenance to create more comprehensive cover. We can integrate CCTV with intruder alarms, motion tracking and almost any other device.

Using lighting control applications will ensure close control over energy usage in commercial and residential buildings. Lighting control not only controls energy usage and helps to reduce the carbon footprint, but also can provide a comfortable working environment and ensure compliance building standards. Lighting control systems cover all the equipment required from individual room controllers up to integrated control systems for commercial building's. Easy to interface with such system as Dali, Crestron, AMX and DMX colour changing LED products.

The correct room temperature (type of room, usage time) affects our well-being. The requirements are wide-ranging depending on the location and individual feelings. Room temperatures of 16 °C -18 °C are sufficient for the kitchen and bedroom but we require a warm temperature of 21 °C for the lounge and even 22 °C in the bathroom. A feeling of well-being is extremely important in our private lives and working environment. Comfortable temperatures are therefore vital as we spend up to 95% of our time inside buildings.
