ViPA UK
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. In the past we have all had the same problem - can't get mains power, can't afford costly CCTV, alarms don't work!
Void Property Protection & Alarms
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 20 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.
Doorstep Crime & Distraction Burglary
With around 12,000 incidents reported every year, doorstep crime and distraction burglary has become a significant threat to the safety of households across the North East and the rest of the UK.
The terms doorstep crime and distraction burglary are used to cover crimes where a burglar or conman (or woman) uses a variety of stories or tricks to gain access to someone's home or premises in order to steal. They may pretend to be someone from the local council, a police officer, gas, water or electricity company or pretend to be workmen needing to do 'urgent' repairs.
Doorstep Crime and Distraction burglaries (also referred to as bogus trader crimes) are on the increase, and when they happen it can be deeply distressing. It is a crime that is targeted at the older population. The average age of victims is 78.
