Regarding attacks on residents in their homes:
We have a solution that has literally saved hundreds of lives - consider the simple DIY security solution for any households that are under threat of Robbery & in-home Assault.
I'll keep this as short, though thorough, as possible:
You will appreciate that, in the ideal world, if a householder got quietly warned the instant an intruder trespassed; and the trespasser was simply betrayed and pinpointed with a spoken warning: "Intruder at Side of the House" (without realising he'd been detected)… No resident would ever suffer a surprise attack… Householders could arm themselves, lock doors, hit panic buttons, identify the number of intruders and description (for patrols in the case they get away) - and… very importantly; the intruders would be oblivious to these forces moving against them;… they would still be in 'stealth' mode and not yet startled into flight-or-fright until the householder was ready to spring the trap on them. One might say: The hunters would become the hunted.
Well - I would like to introduce to you our early warning system - the VoiceAlert Security Alarm System.
The other day I briefly discussed our products*, and especially our Receivers (Hubs) with one of the Neighbourhood watch organizers. He suggested that I should make you aware of what we offer - a solution to neutralize any potential of robbery and trespassing (when residents are home).
As you'll appreciate: No matter how much it is urged, the aggravation that sirens auto-armed response calls represent ensures that residents will simply not set their alarms when they need them most; when they are home - especially in the crucial 5pm to 11pm timeslot. Also; with more than 98% of all alarm activations identified as false triggers, the 'cry wolf' scenario is a plague to crime fighting for everyone involved… Yet 'another' siren going off in a neighbourhood desensitises us all to real threats; it sends the intruder fleeing without the householder at least getting a look at him so that patrols know who they're looking for . Indeed, the siren is often the criminal's friend - both identifying for him the location of the sensor that picked him up. He knows that next time he tries, he might be able to evade that sensor or trigger-it-and-run enough times to irritate the user into no longer setting it (due to aggravation).
This is where the VoiceAlert Wireless Alarm System, as an early warning security system - a "Robbery Alarm" if you will - makes a vast difference to ending the scourge of in-home attacks:
Firstly, it is very simple to self-install - so that not even the armed response (patrollers/installers) realise it is adding a critical first layer of protection (this is important to many of our clients who fear that armed response staff may have anterior motives).
- Wireless sensors of various types can be placed outdoors around your perimeter
- When a sensor is triggered, the 6-zone table-top (portable) base unit (up to 300m away / 100m through walls - and signal boosters available) identifies the zone by its RF (radio) signal and plays a user recorded voice warning for that particular zone; "Intruder in the driveway", "Kids near the Pool", "Iemand by die agter hek", "Carport - someone near the cars", etc.
- Simple, straight-forward, all-guesswork-removed warnings that require no getting up, finding glasses, putting on light, and cross referencing triggered-zone-to-legend, etc.
- An addition to this system is the vibration switch that you attach to anything that is not suppose to move, and when it moves you will be informed immediately – Brilliant!! "Someone at my water meter" "someone fiddling with the gate" , etc.
This simple and accurate feedback in the user's own (pre-recorded) voice (each zone identified in terms that make sense to the household) delivered directly to the household, pinpoints the intruder at the instant of his trespass.
The outcome of this type of warning cannot be over-stated. We have literally hundreds and hundreds of stories and feedback from clients (around 30,000 installations around South Africa) who have saved lives, family, and valuables using VoiceAlert Alarm Systems.
