security bollards

[doobin]

The best system is an alarm which runs off the mobile phone network, and can alert you and/or a security guard to any suspicious activity. CCTV is no use unless you want a grainy video of them dragging your chipper out with balaclavas on.

Not a fancy website but Gerry knows his stuff and is super helpful. Best thing I ever bought is our alarm system. About £500 all in including four sensors and fitting, and it works a treat. Set and disarm it via text message. The only running cost is the sim card which you choose- just find the best deal you can to get the number of texts you think you will use in a month. No expensive monitoring contract, no waiting for the police to pull their finger out. It texts you, rings you to wake you up, then off you go to kick some ***** butt

I have been attempting to explain to a few deluded locals that their £50.00/£100.00 "hi security" Abloy padlocks are worthless when the thieves turn up with a couple of cordless angle grinders fitted with "plasma" discs.

Especially if fitted to a mild steel padbolt on a rickity shed door.

Dewalt have a lot to answer for!

A cheap mobile phone hidden on your kit can be used as a tracking device. Not ideal, but it means you can find something if it goes.

 

Otherwise, it might be worth a browse of the External Works catalogue:

Can you triangulate the signal yourself?

Yes, there are various tracker apps that work off a mobile signal, meaning you could check up on your chipper position from your smart-phone if you wanted. Google it, there's loads of info out there.

 

There are stories of people getting stuff back which is quite nice, too.

Quick overview. As I suspected, triangulation is not much cop out in the sticks. And if your leaving a GPS smartphone with better accuracy in the machine, why not just buy a proper GPS tracker?

Like I said, not ideal but it's an option. Even in rural areas, if you can tell the police the location of your kit to within 5km, that's a darn site better than saying 'it was in Eastbourne 24 hours ago' or whatever. If there's a ***** family in that circle of probability then they're going to be the first ones getting a knock.

all good idea's fella's. I'll be fitting a tracker on my chipper and immobilisers on the trucks. If they want my gear, they will take it, all I can do is make it as hard as possible for them. I like the idea of descending on thieves like an avenging demon using a tracker..but sadly, it ain't gonna happen...shame though!

everytime I go on arbtalk (and this is without logging on), my Norton antivirus is blocking repeated attacks from Arb related websites. Is this a cookie thing, or is something more sinister afoot on arbtalk?!
