ICT Empowers Remote Mobile Monitoring Operations With Alarms, Access Control And Reporting.
ICT Empowers Remote Mobile Monitoring Operations – ICT’s access control and intrusion platforms play a central role in Brisbane-based provider Kompliance’s remote monitoring systems, forming the operational core of the company’s modular mobile enforcement and monitoring Komodo units.
The systems support remote access, intrusion detection, scheduling, audit trails, environmental control and system consolidation. Their deployment allows Kompliance to manage complex operations across widely dispersed sites, where reliability, automation and detailed reporting are essential for agencies that require consistent compliance and operational continuity.
Kompliance’s early platforms relied on PIR sensors and conventional key locks, but these created operational issues in locations exposed to constant vehicle movement, wildlife, and extended travel times for service personnel.
Now ICT hardware and software has provided the framework to replace these elements with access-controlled doors, AI-supported intrusion detection, scheduled access events, remote authorisation and detailed auditing.
“Our operators rave about how easy the ICT systems are to use, especially dealing with remote areas,” says Tory Ogden, director at Kompliance.
The initial Kompliance machines combined PIR intrusion detection with physical keys, which led to false alarms and operational delays. PIR sensors could be triggered by passing traffic, spiders or animals. Misplaced keys caused downtime, long travel times, and expensive callouts.
Underlying systems also had variable power demands, creating further inefficiencies. According to Ogden, Kompliance needed a system that could handle not just the rugged environment but also complex logistical demands. The introduction of ICT hardware changed the platform design.
“We evaluated pain points and learned a lot from those early deployments,” Ogden says. “We could see that keys, access, and PIRs were all issues. The ICT solution proved a huge advance in technology. It allowed us to create the Komodo, a modular system that we can remotely monitor and operate with ICT modules to control access, alarms, and environmental systems.”
Kompliance adopted ICT’s Protege GX as the central controller for access, intrusion and automation. Early implementations on 5 older machines used simple input and output functions. Later versions introduced multi-system control, reader management, electronic locking, intrusion support and environmental monitoring.
“The original scope was very simple,” Ogden says. “At the start it was just a couple of inputs that triggered an output. The phased implementation was crucial in understanding the flexibility an ICT solution can bring. It’s obviously a lot more in depth now.”
ICT’s support team contributed to the transition.
“There’s been a lot of learning along the way, but there’s never been a problem that we couldn’t solve together,” Ogden says.
Ogden notes that keys were one of the major pain points, especially when units were deployed 5 or 6 hours away and this was resolved when keyless operation replaced the earlier dependency on physical keys.
“With a normal key system, we might be able to see that a door has opened, but we don’t know who it is, so we’d have to search back through video footage,” Ogden says.
Keyless access allows permissions to be issued remotely, including PIN-based access for contractors and Ogden says the Kompliance team doesn’t need people everywhere because it’s now easy to monitor from a central spot and authorize access for contractors remotely.
Importantly, all doors are now managed under ICT access control, including compartment-level permissions, while calendar actions schedule access for contractors and service providers.
“With a reader on the machine, we use function codes to get as specific as Door 1 opens for person A, but Door 2 only opens for person B,” Ogden explains.
“Every access event is logged, which is essential for audit trails and aligns with the high security requirements we operate under.”
Intrusion detection has also been reworked around camera-based AI analytics. PIR sensors produced high false-alarm rates in remote locations and on roadside deployments.
“With AI, we’ve virtually eliminated false triggers, and everything is logged through a single dashboard,” Ogden says.
This unified dashboard consolidates intrusion, access and CCTV monitoring for agencies requiring compliance visibility.
Kompliance is also expanding its integration model. The existing Modbus-based interface is being transitioned to ICT’s SOAP API for more detailed data access and real-time interaction, while centralised dashboards reduce operator workload and improve consistency.
“This gives us far more flexibility, automation, and real-time insights,” Ogden says. “Bringing CCTV, access, and intrusion into one interface makes training and system handover easier.”
FireShield, an integrated fire detection and suppression module, is added to the latest Komodo deployments to protect assets exposed to vandalism and environmental hazards. Ogden notes the role of ICT hardware in supporting this, too.
“ICT hardware is customizable enough to integrate external systems like sprinklers or smoke detection,” he says. “And obviously space is a big thing for us, so ICT’s half-size DIN modules add real value.”
