Luminite wireless intruder alarm system keeps building site and materials secure
They looked to Fortress Fire & Security to provide a cost effective solution that would enable them to keep their site and materials secure. The main challenge with the job was that there was only one 240-volt power supply on site with the furthest intrusion point being some 200 metres away. As the site was a relatively large housing estate, civil works were not an option so Fortress had to look for a wireless system that would have the ability to transmit effectively over this distance.
Fortress Fire & Security contacted Luminite Electronics Ltd, as they knew they had particular expertise in wireless alarm transmission. Luminite visited the site and designed a system based upon their Wireless Genesis PIR Detector. With its range of 1km and the ability to repeat up to many kilometers, Luminites Genesis PIR system was a perfect solution.
Fortress Fire & Security installed 14 Wireless Genesis PIR detectors around the boundary of the site linking to a Luminite controller, which in turn linked to a GSM transmitter. This was programmed to call the mobile patrol guards and if necessary the Police. This gave the building site owners the cost savings of a detection system with the response and mobility of a man guard.
The system was set and unset using a Luminite Wireless Remote Keypad. This meant that the site could be secured when the last person on site was leaving by simply entering a code at the gate to arm the system.
The building site owner had their site, materials and machinery secured at a fraction of the cost of on site security guards. They now also have the benefit of taking the system with them to be re-deployed at their next site.
Jim Bates from Fortress commented “ In our opinion, Luminite has the best PIR detector on the market today and we have committed to using their systems on our projects in the future."
