PUTTING A STOP TO METAL THEFT

Metal thieves did not stand a chance at a Kent construction site protected by RSI Videofied and VDT Direct's Webeye CMS. Within minutes of the intrusion the thieves were deterred with live two-way PA and had disappeared before the police even arrived at the scene. Kent-based installer Eyeview Solutions, who look after the site which cannot be named for security reasons, are ecstatic with the success of the product so far. Steve Dann, Managing Director at Eyeview says "[Videofied] is very unique. You don't need any power, it works using mobile telecommunications and it has no geographical limit, it is very flexible. Webeye is also very flexible as it enables you to get over the loading of software and it can be viewed anywhere. It's also nice for customers to be able to see their activations. "

One aspect of the Videofied system that Steve believes is most useful is the ability to rapidly deploy the devices. "Some of our customers have really high-value metals on site and with the use of Videofied, and the fact that you can move it around a site, means they can reposition it to protect metal at night."
During a recent incident, the system's ability for two-way voice challenging and the Webeye function that allows this action, proved most useful in the prevention of theft from a construction site. Within minutes of the activation a live voice challenge was issued and the intruders, who were hoping to steal high-value metal, hastily left the scene. Steve says "We've gotten lots of really good results where the voice challenge has scared people off and no damage has been caused. With Videofied and Webeye, you can see the activations and this limits false alarms. In the longterm, it's a very cost effective solution."
When asked if he would recommend the solution and why, Steve eagerly states "Definitely- and we do. It gives customers flexibility. The customer likes that he can check on his sites himself and check on the monitoring station. It is good value for money and works out less than a traditional system in the long-term because you can move it around easily. You can also put it on to a normal alarm panel- you can modify it to what you want it to be."

The equipment is supplied and installed in the Manchester area by The Alarming Man

Looking towards the future, Webeye is set to reach exciting new heights in the New Year with the introduction of app's for iPhone, Android and Blackberry that call smart phones when an activation takes place.
We want to ensure that Webeye leaves no gaps. If an intruder enters a site protected by Webeye, we want to guarantee they are caught.

Video Verification

Would you like your alarm to be stand-alone and:-

• Tell you when it has been activated?
• Send a video to mobile phones (security guards for example) of the cause of activation?
• To work outdoors - building sites, farm yards, church roof?
• Operate when there is no mains power? 
• Save money - guard only called out if suspicious activity.

Well now you can - listen carefully

Affected by the riots?

People whose homes and businesses were destroyed in rioting could lose out on millions of pounds in compensation if they do not lodge a claim and give their details to the police within 14 days.  Most insurers require riot damage claims to be made within seven days, because the Riot Damages Act requires the police to pay out cash to property owners who suffered losses they could not possibly predict.  People whose homes and businesses were destroyed in rioting could lose out on millions of pounds in compensation if they do not lodge a claim immediately.  
Even people who do not have insurance should act quickly.  

With some businesses remaining closed due to damage or the threat of further riots, affected firms should do everything possible to get back on their feet, without worrying about preserving evidence for insurers.

To reduce the damage caused by looters and robbers, The Alarming Man can supply and install devices that help protect property by blinding, deafening and cutting the hands off intruders all perfectly legally - and take pictures for evidence!

Is site security draining your profits?

A big cost associated with site security is the guard.

The problem with guards is that they are often creatures of habit and thieves plan accordingly.

An inexpensive system is available that informs static or mobile guards of suspicious activity, allowing them to be far more efficient.
