Would you pay £16.00 per square metre?
...if you could be paying just £2.95?

Being interested in all things security, one of the many Google Alerts we have set up relates to "Anti Climb Paint" which is also often referred to as anti intruder paint, security paint and anti burglar paint among other names.

...and we have to confess to being more than a little mystified therefore, as to how a company in Dublin has managed to get its anti climb paint on the alert list around half a dozen times over recent weeks
 
...and even more mystified as to why anyone in their right mind would pay 92 euros for a 5 litre tin of the stuff which according to their recommendations would cover 5 square metres
 
...which works out at 18.4 Euros per square metre (or approximately £16.00 per square metre!) 
 

 
Compare that with the Best Price on the Web of the anti climb paint offered by Lewes based; Insight Security - who are offering their high quality anti climb paint at just £2.95 per square metre coverage (20 litre pack) or just £2.99 per square metre (5 litre pack)!

You could obviously be forgiven for getting upset, if your neighbours cats continuously use your garden as a toilet or dig up your favourite plants, but happily, there's a simple, low cost solution!
 
These cat deterrent strips have been designed to fix to the top of your garden fences, gates and walls …and for simplicity, can be screwed, nailed or stuck in place.

Smaller than a cigarette lighter      ...designed for the sports person
 
 
Quality engineering and amazingly low Pre Xmas Special Offer Price, this is the ideal gift for the man or woman in your life!

Anyone into sports will love this rugged little camcorder, which can be worn as a helmet camera, clipped to your clothing or attached to your skis, mountain bike, car dashboard, etc.
 
Measuring just 55 x 28 x 20mm and weighing in at just 50g, its hardly surprising that the fabulous SportsCam / Helmet Camera Mini DVR camcorder has already established itself as a "must have" accessory for mountain bikers, skiers and a wide range of other sports participants ...and it's also great for capturing some of those fun moments from your stag or hen night!

Don't be fooled by the low price or miniscule dimensions of this the unit however, as this versatile camera produces amazingly high quality video recordings (with audio), which is also why it has already become a favourite with anyone needing a camera for covert surveillance use.

Build quality is excellent and the metal housing is tough enough to take the knocks it will get even when used in some of the more extreme sports. The unit will operate at temperatures down to -10 degrees or as high as +60 degrees C and will record in light conditions right down to 1 LUX.

The technical bit:   2,000,000 pixels, CMOS colour camera, motion JPEG for AVI recording, VGA (640 x 48 pixels)

What does that mean? - well in practice (and in simple terms) it means it will good quality images with sound in a format that is easy to watch on your PC (or TV) and which can easily be uploaded to "YouTube" for sharing with your friends!

Using the camera couldn't be easier, there's a "power on/off" button, a "start/stop button" and a "Voice activated recording button". In normal use, you will only need to use the Power on/off and Start/Stop buttons, but the Voice Activation Button allows you to set the unit up for covert recording.

In covert "voice activated" recording mode, the camera will happily remain in standby mode for up to 10 days and only start recording when it detects sound over 65 db (i.e. voices, doors opening, etc). In voice activation mode the unit automatically stops recording when it has not detected sound for 2 minutes, and drops back into standby mode until it detects sound again.

The rechargeable internal Lithium battery means that you won't be spending a fortune on disposable alkaline batteries when you use this camera. A fully charged battery provide enough power to allow up to 2 hours of continuous recording or around 260 hours in standby mode. The battery is recharged by use of the supplied mains adaptor, or by connecting the camera to your PC or MAC via the USB connection.

Images are recorded onto a Micro SD card on which around 40minutes of video can be recorded per 1gb of storage capacity. The camera is supplied with a 2gb card (max card size supported is 8gb). Images can be transferred to your computer either by directly connecting the camera using the USB cable supplied, or by removing the SD card and inserting it into your computer using a suitable SD card reader.

This versatile little unit comes with everything in the box that you will need to start filming, but for the sportier among you, you may want to consider the optional "extreme sports pack" which includes a silicon weather sleeve for the camera, as well as several brackets, clips, straps, etc, which allow the camera to be securely fixed to helmets, clothing or items such as skis, etc.

A great Christmas gift for him or her, this super unit will provide year round fun!

Which would be best for you or your loved one...

a Car Safe, Home Safe, an Executive Security Briefcase for your Laptop?

With over 2 million thefts from vehicles in the UK every year (according to AA statistics), every time you leave your vehicle, your valuables such as your Satnav, Mobile phone, PDA, digital camera, etc., are at risk.

Even if you’re fully insured, the Excess on your policy, combined with likely premium increases on renewal, would probably make claiming on your insurance a bad idea! - so like thousands of fellow victims you'd probably end up digging into your own pocket to purchase replacement items.

There is however a simple solution; …the new range of rugged, compact Car Safes from Insight Security, offer practical protection ...and with a choice of units, including a Thatcham approved car safe there’s bound to be something to suit your needs.

With special offer prices as low as £17.99 up until Christmas 2009, it’s really a no brainer and one of these units would make an ideal gift for him or for her!

…don’t just take our word for it however, check out the Insight Car Safe range for yourself, but hurry and remember the special offer prices are offered for orders placed up until Christmas …and of course Vat will also rise again by at least 2.5% in January 2010

Anti Climb Paint (also known as Anti Intruder Paint, Anti Burglar Paint and Security Paint) is a low cost way to deter unwelcome intruders from your property and from just £1.95 per square metre coverage, is easily affordable.
 
Typically applied to walls, fences, roof edges and ridge tiles, drainpipes, etc. anti climb paint is a non setting petroleum gel based paint which remains greasy and therefore prevents anyone from gaining a grip on the areas covered by it.

Traditionally, anti climb security paint is only available in “Black”, but at Insight Security, it is also available in “Grey” from stock and can also be supplied in a range of alternative colours to special order (minimum order volume applies for special colours)

Available in 1.0, 2.5 and 5 litre cans, Insight have recently launched a money saver special 20 litre anti climb paint pack (4 x 5.0 litre cans) … for just £97.50 ex vat!

  …with a typical coverage of 2.0-2.5 square metres per litre, the paint costs from around £1.95 per square metre coverage!
 
    for more details about anti climb intruder paints, visit the Insight Security - Anti Climb Paint webpage

or buy Anti Climb Intruder Paint on Line at the Insight-Direct security web shop 

Where you can use it:

It is recommended that Anti climb security paint is not used at any height less than head height …and display of appropriate warning signs may also be a requirement (display of warning signs is always recommended where security paint is used in a non domestic environment and may be a legal requirement).

Insight have just introduced a special offer price of just £154.95 ex vat for their flat screen high quality colour vehicle reversing camera system.
 

High quality colour images are delivered onto the TFT colour monitor, courtesy of the fully weatherproof colour camera(s). The compact 5" screen delivers clear and sharp images even in bright sunny conditions, and its small enough to ensure that it won't clutter your dashboard or get in the way of control instruments, switches, etc.   
  
Features of these versatile vehicle reversing camera systems include; "Normal" or "Mirror Image" view, brightness and contrast controls as well as an option to add a second camera (ideal for monitoring animals in transit - i.e. for use with a horse box, etc.).
 
The system is supplied with a full fixing kit and the knurled screw retaining rings which supplement the connector plugs at each end of the "camera to monitor connecting cable", protect against the cable vibrating loose and unplugging itself during normal driving, as can easily happen with systems with just plug together connectors.

This could be the ideal christmas present for youir loved one! ...but the special offer price only applies to current stock, so hurry if you don't want to miss out on this great offer. 

The Ultra-Lok high security ground anchor was initially developed to meet the demanding requirements of a UK city council where it was destined for installation on public roads at kerbside to be used by the general pulic to secure their motorcycles to.
 

The design team at Insight Security worked hard to produce a maximum security product with affordable production costs - the result speaks for itself, and the  "Ultra-Lok" telescopic, concrete in ground anchor  was born.

Manufactured from heavy duty box section steel with 5mm wall thickness, these rugged units incorporate a welded in section of steel tube which acts as a chain channel.

It's designed to be self draining and features a robust base bar to anchor the unit securely into its concrete bedding. The gravity operated self closing mechanism ensures that when not in use, the unit collapses conveniently into the ground, so there's nothing above left sticking up above ground to trip over.

The self closing debris flap keeps leaves and other unwelcome materials out of the mechanism, while the "T" bar style lift handle makes it easy to raise the internal chain guide without getting your hands dirty when you need to secure your motorcycle to it.

With low on-line offer prices on current stock, the Ultra-Lok represents amazing value for money, but hurry as prices are sure to rise with the next manufacturing run.

Not looking for quite such a high level of security? - here are some great alternatives;  

 Concrete-in security ground anchors / Bolt Down Ground Anchors / Wall Mount & Shed Anchors / Spirolock Ground Anchors

Whatever level of security you're looking for, you'll find it among the options listed above and with offer prices starting from around £12.95 you can't go wrong.

The Leave-a-Key key safe provides a simple and practical way to leave a key safely at your property to allow an authorised person access in your absence.

Traditionally people have resorted to hanging the door key on a piece of string inside the letterbox, hiding a key under the external doormat or a nearby plantpot, etc, but the Leave-a-Key key safe offers a much safer way to solve the problem! 

Already a favourite with home helps and health visitors calling on the elderly or infirm, who may not be able to get to the door to let them in, external key safes are not a new idea, but Insights price breakthrough now means that everyone can afford one.

These key safes also offer a practical solution to leaving keys for children returning from school to a temporarily empty house, leaving keys for guests hiring holiday cottages or caravans, etc.

Which is the right key safe for you?

In very simple terms, all key safes are basically a code controlled lockable box which can be attached to the outside of your building, caravan, gates, etc.

In operation, you will place a key into the box and lock it shut (usually just by inserting the locking security faceplate into position and pressing it home). To access the stored key you simply enter the security access code that you have set, which releases the faceplate so that you can access and remove the key again.

If you want other people to be able to get at the key, you simply tell them the secret access code ...and with the best key safes, you can change the security code quickly and easily, as often as you like

...so if you no longer want someone you have given the code to to enter you property when you're not there, simply change the code.

The main considerations when choosing a key safe are; size and type of access mechanism (digital keypad or tumbler operated lock).

Size:

If you only want to store one or two cylinder lock type flat keys, virtually any of the leave-a-key key safes will provide adequate internal storage capacity.

For bulkier keys or if you need to leave several keys, a keysafe with a larger internal capacity will be required, such as the digital keypad operated Leave-a-key Maxibox or the 4 tumbler Masterbox key safe.

Access mechanism:

Tumbler Lock operated units;

These are generally the cheapest type of Leave-a-key units and the access code is typically entered via a 3 or 4 wheel tumbler combination lock. These are perfectly good units that won't break the bank, but from a security point of view, a 4 wheel tumbler should be the minimum choice (allows 9,999 combinations - a 3 wheel tumbler only allows 999 combinations).

Setting the tumblers into position to open the key safe is a little more fiddly that using a digital keypad operated unit and of course tumbler locks are not as easy to use in the dark!

One other consideration with a tumbler lock is weathering, ...the numbers on the tumbler wheels tend to weather and become more difficult to read over time, so our advice would be to buy a unit where the tumbers are protected by some type of weather shield such as the Masterbox Leave-a-key key safe (currently on offer £19.95 ex vat)

Digital Keypad operated units;

Simpler to use, a unit with a digital keypad is obviously a much better choice if the keysafe will need to be used by the elderly or infirm, anyone with failing eyesight, etc, or simply for convenience. 

As with Tumbler Lock units, the security access code should be quick and easy to change and you should be able to change it as often as you like (be warned, there are units out there that only allow you to change the code a certain number of times).

Again, a weather protector cover for the keypad is recommended, however because of the layout of the keypad with this type of unit, you can key in the access code by feeling the position of the keys alone, so if the numbering becomes less visible, it's not so much of a problem (and you could even do it in the dark!).

The compact digital keypad type Midibox Leave-a-key key safe from Insight Security is a great little unit which is currently on offer for £29.90 ex vat 

The digital keypad type Maxibox Leave-a-key key safe stores bulkier or multiple keys and is currently on special offer for £25.80 ex vat

The smallest digital video camera in the world for just £48.95 from Insight Security.

Smaller than your thumb, the VCC-003 MD80 is a tiny camcorder with "large" performance.

The 2,000,000 pixel camera delivers stunning performance, whilst your video is stored on the Micro SD card (holds approx 40 minutes of quality video per 1 GB of card storage).

Already popular with mountain bikers, skiers, rally cross drivers, etc. and other sports participants, the camera records their activities as they see them when they do them, so now even your granny can see just what it's like to travel at speed down that mountain bike trail!

  ...and there's even an Extreme Sports Pack ( VCC-A001 ) available for use with your camera (which includes a weatherproof sleeve, various straps, brackets, clips, etc, to allow you to attach you camera to just about anything from your bike helmet to your dashboard or skateboard). 

The internal rechargeable lithium battery will power the camera for around 2 hours continuous recording, or about 10 days standby mode on a full charge.

With a choice of simple button controlled start / stop recording, or clever sound activated recording, the camera also offers a host of possibilities for covert surveillance activities such as monitoring what items are being removed from your stock room - and by whom!

The video recording is stored in AVI format (640 x 480 pixels), so playing back your recordings is a doddle - simply plug your camera into a free USB slot on your PC and use standard Windows Media Player or alternative to play your film back ...and of course you can get even more fun out of your camera by uploading your clips onto YouTube, etc.

The Maxibox Leave a Key Safe on special offer at £25.85 from Insight Security provides an easily affordable way to leave a key safely on the outside of your property to allow authorised people to enter them when you are not around or can't get to the door.

Already used extensively by local authorities, etc. for Home Helps and Health Workers regularly visiting the sick or elderly in their homes, this simple key-safe also provides a practical solution for children returning from school to an empty house, removing the need for them to carry keys to school, youngsters returning home after a night out clubbing,

...and of course it can also be a life-saver for when you go out and forget to take your keys!!!

How does it work?

Simply bolt the box in its weatherproof sleeve securely to a wall or suitable area on the outside of your house, pop the keys into the generous storage compartment and lock on the removable faceplate. The faceplate features a 10 button digital keypad so when you need to retrieve your keys from the keysafe, simply use the keypad to key in the security code that you have set, depresss the faceplate release button and remove the security faceplate.

To allow others (i.e. health visitors, trusted cleaners, workpersons, etc.) to access your keys when you are not there, or may be unable to get to the door, simply tell them the access code you have set.

...and to maintain your security, you can change the code quickly and easily (and as often as you like) by simply unlocking and removing the security faceplate from the key safe, flipping it over and changing the security code by resetting the code control knobs on the back of the plate.

...another great tried and tested value for money security product from Insight Security 

Anti-climb / anti-intruder paint (also often called anti climbing paint, security paint or anti burglar paint), is a petroleum gel based paint that is applied thickly to surfaces to be protected and which never sets.

Although Anti-Climb Paint is "Non Toxic" and therefore safe to use (  Anti-Climb Paint COSHH Safety Data Sheet  ), because it never sets, it stays slippery and anyone putting their hands on it for instance, will find that some of it will stick to their hands making it impossible to subsequently grip anything...

 ...a simple yet effective way to stop unwelcome intruders from climbing over your walls, gates or fences, or onto your flat roofs, etc!

It's a popular Anti Climb Solution, because of its very low cost;

The paint is typically applied as a 2-3mm thick covering, which gives it optimum performance and means that 1 litre of paint will cover an area of 2.0-2.5 square metres (costing from around £1.95 per square metre!).

Note: if security paint is applied very thinly, although you will achieve greater coverage, it will dry out and quickly lose its effectiveness. On the other hand, it's not really possible (or necessary) to apply it more thickly than the suggested 2-3mm.

Professional hand held security metal detectors are standard issue to the police and military and have recently become an essential security tool for schools and businesses throughout the UK as well as being used extensively by nightclubs, etc.
 
With a wide range of models to choose from, you may need help to choose the right model for your needs, especially as there are currently many far eastern inferior copies of professional units (such as those produced by quality manufacturers such as Garrett, etc) being sold in the UK.
 
Naturally some units perform much better than others and this is one area of security where an inferior unit that works some of the time is DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD INVESTMENT!
 
 
Lets address one of the obvious potential pitfalls first;
 
A quality unit from a respected manufacturer with a reputation to protect, will generally nowadays feature high performance digital technology rather than the old analogue type, incorporate high quality components and circuitry to ensure long operational life and low battery drain in use - in short you are guaranteed quality performance, long operational life (even in hostile environments) and low running costs. 
 
Rip off copies on the other hand, invariably utilise older analogue technology, inferior internal components and cheaper, less robust outer casings. Typically therefore, even though the initial purchase price may look attractive, ...poor performance, early component failure and high running costs (i.e. replacement batteries) frequently result in a higher long term cost of ownership than had you invested in a quality unit in the first place! - Be warned however, some of the rip-off copies are increasingly difficult to spot - even we were almost fooled by a clever copy of a Garret Superscanner hand held detector, which featured a valid Garrett serial number and even had the name spelled correctly!
 
So what type of metal detector would be best for you?
 
Well, to answer this we need to establish how and where you intend to use it;
 
...if you have lots of people to scan quickly for instance, you will probably need a walkthrough arch type metal detector (often referred to as a knife arch), similar to those commonly used at airports.
 
...if volume of persons to scan is not an issue, a hand held wand type metal detector will offer a cheaper alternative.

...a general purpose hand held metal detector unit should be more than capable of instantly detecting large metal masses such as knives or guns carried on a person, whilst a high performance detector will be required to detect small objects ingested within a body for instance.
 
 
Whatever your needs, we strongly recommend that you buy from a reliable suppler with a reputation to protect. They will be able to offer you practical advice and guide you to the best product for your needs.

Pigeons and seagulls can be a serious nuisance when they congregate in one place ...and their droppings are not only unsightly, but can also pose a health hazard.

Periodic culls, as organised by Local Authorities, etc, help to reduce the overall numbers, but installing Bird Spikes on and around your premises will provide a more immediate solution to your specific problem!

Pigeon Spikes are manufactured from clear, UV stabilised polycarbonate material, are quick and simple to install (bond-on, screw-on or clip-on fixing options), easily affordable, and provide a practical yet harmless way to prevent pigeons from congregating or nesting on ledges and window sills, in roof gutters, on CCTV camera or lighting housings, etc.

Seagull spikes need to be more robust, as seagulls are much more aggressive birds. The spike base is again manufactured from clear polycarbonate, however the spikes are manufactured from stainless steel and are longer than the spikes on the Pigeon Spike product.

Bird Ban bird spikes are used extensively by councils, businesses and domestic users throughout the UK, and at the special low prices currently on offer from Insight Security, everyone can afford to use them to solve their pigeon and seagull problems

Never ones to rest on their laurels, Insight Security have again come up trumps with their extended range of Traffic Management Products including their new range of Traffic Flow Plates.

The new range of embedded flow plates incorporate internal rubber noise supression bumpers to reduce the noise levels in general operation which would otherwise be amplified to unacceptable levels within the embedded box.

The new range also includes a choice of surface mount flow plates, with a "Standard" model for use in areas frequented by domestic traffic such as cars, small vans, etc. and a special HGV model for use on commercial sites.

The additional height of the restrictor flap on the HGV model makes its use suitable only for areas where no domestic type vehicles will pass over it, as their low ground clearance means that their undersides could be damaged.

Both surface mount and embedded type flow plates feature easy replacement of components which may eventually show signs of wear, so your investment is protected.

With the recent acknowledgement by the Home Office, that in many parts of the country, Knife Crime and crimes of Serious Violence have been misclassified for recording purposes for many years, the government has been forced to admit that the mis-recording has caused a significant distortion in the published crime statistics.

In fact whilst latest published figures indicated a drop in crimes of serious violence, they actually rose over the last 12 months by 22%. Similarly, the corrected figures for knife crime now show a 20% rise for the same period, rather than the previously claimed drop!

Whatever the figures however, over recent months, the use of security metal detectors has increased massively and they are now generally considered a 'Must Have' security and safety tool by a wide range of public and private sector organisations.

There are however serious concerns by professional security product suppliers, with the influx of cheap metal detectors into the UK market. There is a lot of truth in the old saying 'you get what you pay for' and it's certainly true in this case. The trouble is, while by buying a cheap detector, you may save a few pounds initially, the long term cost of ownership is likely to be much higher than that of a professional quality unit (thanks to high running costs and early component failure). More importantly however your cheap unit probably won't deliver reliable results - so your screening process will be suspect and you environment may not be as safe as you had thought.

Insight Security offer a range of reliable, professional security metal detectors (hand held and knife arch / search arch type) and for a limited time, they are offering their popular Garrett Super Scanner - hand held metal detector  for under £100.00!

Buying a quality metal detector has never been easier or cheaper and Insight Security are now offering a special discounted price on the world leading; "Garrett Superscanner", hand held security metal detector.
 
Why Garrett? - when a user needs a security metal detector for use in harsh environments, or where the unit will be in operation continuously for extended periods of time, the rugged "Garrett Superscanner" metal detector is the obvious and natural choice, which is why it is used extensively by police, military and security professionals around the world.

...In fact the Garrett Superscanner is so well known and popular, that it is the target for more "Rip Off" copies than any other single metal detector, ...but beware, buying a cheap look alike copy of the real thing, can be an expensive mistake. 
 
There is currently a company who have purchased (possibly quite innocently) a large quantity of Garrett Superscanner look alikes of far east manufacture, which they have been offering to customers as the genuine article (the units are so alike in fact, that even the experts find it hard to tell them from the real thing on visual inspection alone). Inside however, the fakes feature cheap, outdated analogue technology, so although HMRC have seized the bulk of the consignment as illegal copies, anyone unfortunate enough to have bought one, will not only be at risk of having the illegal copy seized, but will also be disappointed with both the performance and reliability.
