Imagine what it would be like to have a set of eyes and ears whenever and wherever you want 24 hours a day, wherever you have a problem! You might be suffering a loss from your diesel tank on your farm or transport yard, maybe its criminal damage to your premises or theft from your vacant property. Crime is also on the rise for metal thefts from church roofs and these are typically hard to protect.
In the past we have all had the same underlying problem - you either can't get mains power, can't afford to install costly new CCTV system or your alarms just don't seem to be a deterrent to criminals!
Metal Theft Protection & Alarms
In The News
The Northern Echo have recently featured our ViPA Defender unit, and reports that nationally, the cost of lead theft from church roofs over the past four years is estimated at £23m, with £750,000 worth taken in the North- East. To combat this, the ViPA Defender powers two cameras which can catch thieves in the act and will only cost around £2,700 on an average installation.
Recent reports from Durham and Sunderland, Hartlepool and Darlington all suggest that as the price of scrap metal continues to soar, churches are being specifically targetted for metal theft. The police and church ministers are looking for solutions to this ever exapaning problem and this is where ViPA UK can help you.
Based in Darlington in the North East, ViPA UK has the perfect answer for you! We have over the past years researched and developed, and now manufactured, a range of ViPA Units (void property protection and alarms).
These units are a one box solution that can be easily installed within 10 minutes with no specialised knowledge or tools, and with just one 8 hour charge these units can be installed both internally and externally for up to 6 months without any 240 volt mains connection.
On detection of an intruder, the unit will seize a telephone network connection and inform you of their presence, and the unit will also record the incident (video) onto a supplied SD CARD where the information can be easily retrievable and used as evidence with the supplied software.
Imagine you could build up your very own electronic force! Protecting your property and keeping you informed 24 hours a day.
