Global research company, JCMR confirmed that the VPS Site Security Ltd. (VPS) was one of a select group of companies that leads the market worldwide in providing construction site security systems.
VPS is the only UK site security company to have been shortlisted every year since 2014 for the peer reviewed IFSEC Security and Fire Excellence Awards, winning a raft of categories, including ‘Best Contribution to Security Standards’, ‘Customer Care’, and ‘Large Security Installer of the Year’.
VPS, Integrated security solutions Firm
Paul Corten, the Sales and Marketing Director at VPS Site Security Ltd., said “That our peers recognize the commitment and dedication of our staff, from engineers through to our in-house design team and our customer services, makes me very proud.”
Paul Corten adds, “We not only provide the best fit-for-purpose security solutions for the construction sector, but we also consistently introduce top quality innovations that target our customers’ needs, by deploying the top technologies available. It is why we are Europe’s leading integrated security solutions provider.”
VPS SmartTower CCTV system
VPS combines the field products with an accredited in-house national monitoring station
The first VPS SmartTower CCTV system was brought to market in 2013 and since then, they have transformed site security with a range of rapidly deployable, wireless CCTV systems, in order to protect both assets and people on construction projects. Their range now includes the lighter and more adaptable - AlertTower and sustainable carbon neutral options, such as the ECO Tower.
VPS combines the field products with an accredited in-house national monitoring station. This service is staffed 24 hours per day, every day of the year, by highly trained personnel.
Rise in use of AI in security systems
But perhaps the most significant development in recent years has been the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in security systems and consequently heralds a major disruptor to traditional manned guarding services.
Paul Corten stated, “Our CCTV systems and monitoring station deploy advanced software analytics that have dramatically ironed out false alarms, so our response teams can focus on genuine attempted security breaches at our customers’ sites. That means quicker responses and a better security net for our clients.”
SmartEyes, AI-enabled military grade sensor
Even the latest addition to their range, a ruggedized military grade sensor, SmartEyes, has in-built Artificial Intelligence (AI). Construction Site Security Week enables VPS to demonstrate their Intelligent Triple Protection ethos, which backs up all their services, including:
- Physical Protection
- Monitored Technology
- Human Intervention
Paul Corten concludes, “Of course, we are delighted to be recognized as a market leader in construction site security – but we’ve earned it. And, we intend to keep on doing so, by continuing to hire dedicated staff, maintaining engagement with our customers and nurturing our development talent in-house. Winning Awards are nice, but winning customers’ trust and loyalty is far better.”
