VPS’s advanced wireless alarm system that provides high levels of security with the least amount of disruption to your vacant property or site. By utilising innovative alarm technology, the VPS SmartAlarm can help deter break-ins and avoid costly vandalism.
The VPS SmartAlarm offers all the benefits of a 24⁄7 monitored alarm system with no requirements for electricity or a phone line. The GSM network is used for the transmission, and therefore this alarm system is especially suitable for remote locations where transmission is not possible via fixed telephone or an additional signal path is required.
Powered by a long-life battery, the VPS SmartAlarm system remains fully operational even when utilities are turned off at the property or if there is a power outage. The alarms are monitored 24⁄7 by our fully accredited monitoring station, allowing any activation to be immediately dealt with.
VPS SmartAlarm Gold is our most advanced alarm unit. The alarm is entirely stand-alone with a long-life battery and on-board tamper detection, and provides instant visual detection and alerting on a range of incidents including intruders, flooding and smoke. VPS SmartAlarms deter unauthorised visitors :
- Completely wireless, remotely monitored alarm system
- Alerts on intruders, fire and flooding
- State of the art capabilities including camera enabled sensors
The combination of VPS SmartAlarm Gold and Verifeye Visual wireless camera sensor provides customers with the most advanced alarm solution on the market.
On activation the Verifeye Visual will capture:
- A full colour 20 second video clip at 5 frames per second,
- With 6 seconds of this video immediately relayed to our 24⁄7 monitoring station,
- Followed by the remainder of the video straight after.
The monitoring station will then review the footage and dispatch the local roaming security team to attend if required. Utilising these innovative cameras will not only help eliminate false triggers but can also assist in the identification of intruders.
Secure online web portal
- Access to real time management information, including works
scheduled and undertaken. - Full audit trail of properties protected.
- Published inspection reports and photographs.
