IDetect Corporation first began in the night club industry in 1999 as a automation technical company,
in the night club industry when there was an immediate need for mailing list automation to contact existing patrons of night clubs and exclusive restaurants. Subsequently in fulfilling this need, we learned that we were also fulfilling another important need; Identification Verification and Entrance Security.
After a few additions and modifications, it became evident just how successful our technology had become for ID Scanning and Identification Verification. Not only did our client's liability insurance decrease, but perpetrators of crime were being apprehended by law enforcement with the assistance of utilizing IDetect ID Scanning Systems. Local courts began to recognize our system and began issuing
abatements of fines for
if they purchased
our system. Soon after,
we decided to perfect
and expand our line of
ID Scanners in the
ID Verification and ID
Security industry.
If the high price of
Liability insurance has
you considering pay
toilets just to cover
the cost, there is a way
to get it lowered so
your patrons don’t need
a change machine just to
make a pit stop!
IDetect’s ID scanner is
the machine that does
just that. Recognized as
one of the top ID
validation systems, it
has lowered the
liability insurance for
many of its clients
worldwide. Not only does
it quickly signal fake
or tampered with IDs, or
someone that is
underage, but also takes
a picture of the entrant
and stores
it with their
demographic and historic
information all in less
than a second.
The picture feature that
IDetect has invented is
the only one of its
kind. The best part is
that it happens
seamlessly without any
extra action by the
doorman. Upon the scan
of an ID, or even entry
of a non-scannable ID,
the picture is taken
automatically. We saw
the need to have a
picture of each entrant
for banning purposes. If
someone is getting
kicked out of a club,
there is very little
chance he will give up
his name or ID. With the
picture stored in our
system, he can easily be
found and banned for
future entry,” says
IDetect CEO Michael
Sengstaken.
IDetect didn’t stop
there, the system can
also print a custom
wristband good only for
the approved entrant,
operates a cash drawer
while collecting all
funds at the door,
obtains email addresses
automatically, produces
a variety of printable
traffic reports, changes
the admission fee
automatically depending
on the time of admission
or age group, and even
has a built in time
clock for employees.
Because the wristband
contains information
about the individual, it
that can easily be spot
checked, or used to ban
the person in the system
for bad behavior. The
system also prints a
matching wristband
sequence number to deter
doormen from
unauthorized handouts.
"We have built this system by listening to the concerns and needs of
this industry” says
Sengstaken. “The end
result is that IDetect
far surpasses the
expectations of all club
owners that use it.” It
seems that Sengstaken is
right. There have been
reports of IDetect
actually playing a major
roll in capturing 3
criminals in 3 separate
incidents.
Law enforcement, and
many of the Liquor
control boards around
the country have
endorsed their system,
and continue to
recommend it to
establishments looking
to protect their liquor
license. Now that is
something that will make
you take notice! IDetect
is the only system to
combine all of these
easy to use functions in
such a seamless fashion.
It’s the only one of its
kind with such an
impressive combination
of quality, versatility,
ease of use and
dependability. The units
are covered by a
24/7-support team that
no one has come close to
beating.
With all of these
powerful features
contained in IDetect you
might be saying “but I
do not need all of that
power, but a limited
amount.” Not to worry,
IDetect has answered
that as well. All of
their systems features
are easily turned on and
off upon your
discretion. “We will not
run our bar
without it” states John
from Red Rock West
Saloon. “A week after we
installed it spot checks
by law enforcement would
begin and end right at
the front door. They
knew about the system’s
credibility,
so they moved to the
next club to do their
check.” Joseph Destefano,
owner of 28 West, a
popular venue driven
club in Middletown, NY,
has more than just his
club to protect, he is
also the mayor of the
town. For this reason,
law enforcement keeps
close tabs on his club
at all times. “We have
very popular 18 and
older nights at our
club, with the drinking
age at 21, we depend on
IDetect to protect our
liquor license”. Joe
deploys an innovative
function of IDetect. The
system allows him to
print a different neon
color custom wristband
for people who are of
age to drink than for
those who are not.
Rob, the security
manager at the club says
“Because IDetect’s
Wristbands react with
the few black lights we
have in the club, I can
spot someone holding a
drink while wearing the
wrong color wristband
from across the room.”
Tim Maloney, owner of a
popular Irish pub in
Long Island New York had
2 fines for serving
minors and a court date
soon approaching. “I
contacted IDetect and
ordered the system right
away. Once in court I
showed the judge a
letter from IDetect
stating that the system
was being delivered
within the next week. He
reduced my fines to just
warnings as long as I
had the system installed
within 30 days.” It
seems that IDetect has
more than just the
security end of things
covered. Its marketing
and promotional
functionality is #1
rated in the industry.
It is able to store
nearly an unlimited
amount of entrants
mailing and visit
history information upon
the scan of an ID, and
sort it into a neat
list. This list can then
be narrowed down by a
seemingly unlimited
amount of criteria
producing a very
select-targeted list.
This information can
then be placed on
mailing labels, or
printed right onto
promotional materials so
that pealing and
sticking labels does not
have to be done. Now
with
IDetect’s automatic
email retrieval, you can
simply email your
promotion right to your
targeted group for free.
IDetect will even
produce your HTML
promotional email to
send out, and inform you
on how many of your
targeted list opened the
email, and clicked
through to your offer.
Rich Bedrogian of Long
Island Promotional Group
did just that. “We used
IDetect to send out a
promotional email to our
patrons aged between 21
and 25 who had
previously visited on a
Friday. They were
instructed to click on a
link contained in the
email, and print a
discount coupon
contained at that link.
If they presented this
coupon upon their next
visit they would receive
a discounted admission.
We were pleasantly
surprised to see how
many of the Internet
coupons were redeemed at
the clubs door that
following Friday night.
The company has many
other services that
couple together with the
systems functionality.
One of these services is
the production of
scannable VIP cards.
These cards can be seen
at the new high-end
nightclub, ICE Las
Vegas. ICE did not cut
any corners or skip on
any detail when building
the club, and their VIP
cards were no exception.
They depended on IDetect
to produce their cards.
The cards were to be
extremely elegant, and
emit the exclusive
nature of the club every
time they were shown.
When ICE received the
cards, they realized
they had made the right
decision. According to
Chandra Steed, the
office manager at ICE,
“We were amazed at the
quality of the cards
when they arrived. We
did have expectations,
but never realized they
would come out as nice
as they did. IDetect
delivered as promised.
They have also
incorporated the use of
the Internet into their
system by allowing
VIP’s, guests, and
members to sign up on
the Internet before
arriving at your club.
This information is
automatically downloaded
into IDetect ready for
those
patrons to show. That
does a lot in
controlling your front
door and making your
patrons feel special,
now doesn’t it?
IDetect continues to be
the leading force for
all ID Validation
systems around the
world. They continue to
bring the latest in
security, and money
making/cost reduction
ideas right into your
club all for a very
small investment.
“Bottom line, our system
works”, says Sengstaken,
Owners tell us that
their costs have
decreased, and revenues
have increased soon
after employing our
system to work at their
club.
