Free £60 CCTV survey


CCTV Alarm Shops’ new website has just gone live at


www.cctvalarmshop.co.uk As one of the best portals in the industry for guidance, selection and purchase of CCTV equipment and alarm products, the new website is both easy to use and helpful. And as a web launch special offer, the company will conduct a free CCTV survey worth £60 for anyone visiting the website in the next month. The colourful CCTV Alarm Shop website is clearly laid out and guides the user through the sometimes tortuous process of CCTV equipment selection.

Also available are replica cameras, dummy alarms, and CCTV warning signs.


Under the alarm products section, there is a full array of equipment on offer from home and business alarm kits to home,


Barrier-free


Siemens has developed barrier-free parking as a revolutionary way of preventing fraud. The system also offers speed and efficiency of parking through the use of automatic number plate recognition cameras (ANPR), fully integrated with sophisticated payment systems via a powerful software engine. All types of parking involve the collection and handling of substantial amounts of cash. Fraud in many town centre car parks can be substantial because of the high level of turnover. The main fraud risks are theft of takings with and without manipulation of records, recycling of tickets and inadequate control of tickets and security keys.


Barrier-free parking enables the car park owner or operator to monitor and charge the correct payments by installing ANPR cameras, eliminating the need for conventional barriers. As the vehicle enters the car park, its number plate is read and logged via carefully sited ANPR cameras. Barrier-free parking improves the customer experience by eliminating bottlenecks of traffic as there is no need for barrier-control. It makes payment quick and easy too. The system offers a choice of four flexible payment methods including cash-less vending, combining the move towards pay-as-you-go payment schemes and the convenience of online booking and mobile phone payments for season tickets or Pay and Display. This lowers the opportunity for theft from the ticket

costs, as the


machines do not need to be


emptied so frequently. As the


vehicle exits the


car park, the ANPR cameras will read the number plate again and the car park fee is automatically checked by the system against the ticket purchased. If it is apparent that there is a shortfall or non- purchase of a ticket, the system will create a contravention report for underpayment or non-payment, detailing arrival and departure times. The report will include views of the car entering and exiting the car park. The car park operator can immediately issue a fine. The barrier-free parking system can be linked to the DVLA database which enables the contravention to be posted directly to the car owner’s address. The ANPR cameras also have the capability to alert the operator if a repeat offender is in the car park so that action can be taken.

MACO


There is nothing more dramatic or poignant than when a company quite simply puts its money where it’s mouth is. When servicing a market for many years and establishing a reputation for innovation and high specification products, MACO are not shy in stepping forward.


commited to doorlocks


Some may criticise the lengths a manufacturer may go to in building into a product the highest levels of specification on the basis that the price rules all. MACO have never shied away from the viewpoint that it is the investment in best value that is the target; a long low-maintenance product life with a comprehensive backup in service to the buyer in terms of product technical support are a vital part of a service that is more partnership than just customer and seller. Taking that into consideration, MACO are delighted to announce the completion of their newest factory at Mauterndorf, Austria, a massive investment entirely dedicated to the production of MACO Protect door locks. The factory occupies a 6000m2


site,


phase 1 of the manufacturing plant totals some 15,000m2


production area.


Over the coming years MACO’s plans for Mauterndorf include a dedicated distribution centre for MACO Protect door locks with phase 3 seeing the factory become fully self contained with its own tool room meaning all the necessary technical expertise for MACO Protect door locks are under one roof.


MACO have not only invested in the construction of the Mauterndorf factory but also within the assembly machinery, making Mauterndorf one of the most modern and automated production centres in Europe.


With a dedicated staff, the state of the art factory not only complies with green issues but underwrites the major industry standards for production, quality and sustainability.
