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)!
 
Obviously as a high volume distributor of anti climb paint and a wide range of other "Best Value" security products, Insight Security have the advantage of lower manufacturing costs, and so are able to pass on the savings to their customers
 
even so, it makes you think!

  Simple solutions are often the best

- like these anti cat strips / cat deterrent strips - fitted to a garden fence

  Which is the best colour for your environment?

...choose from 4 popular stock colours; Brown, Grey, Black and Green.

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.
 
Designed as a deterrent to animals and unwelcome human intruders, they cause maximum discomfort with minimum harm to anyone or anything attempting to climb over them.

Each spike features a small flat area at the top of the spike (they don't come to a sharp point), so they won’t penetrate the skin, but they do effectively discourage all unwelcome visitors as no one (or animal) would want to put their weight on them or try to grip them!
 
With strips costing from as little as just 61p each (bulk pack price), they can be bought on line from the Insight Security Web Shop (see Anti Climb Spikes / Static Spikes - in the Perimeter Security Section of the shop).
 
 
Note; these are guaranteed genuine Prikka Strips (the hinged design type strips designed for maximum flexibility), as recommended by the police for use on perimeter walls and fences to deter to burglars and other unwelcome intruders.

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!

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
