 Baylight Properties PLC investment in Tag Guard’s wireless security systems
was quickly rewarded giving more evidence that wireless systems can be
more effective than manned guarding.
Tag Guard’s wireless security systems continue with their strong track record
of success in combating crime – thieves attempted but failed to steal materials
from Baylight’s construction site in Marlborough, Wiltshire, following the
installation of Tag Guard’s TagPatrol, the latest addition to their wireless alarm range.
Following a previous incident when thieves entered the site and stole valuable
tools, Baylight’s insurance company recommended Tag Guard and the
TagPatrol system was then installed at the Marlborough site.
The TagPatrol system evolved from Tag Guard’s tried and tested TagAlarm range of equipment and was specifically designed to replace mobile security
patrols.
Shortly after the new security system had been installed another incident
occurred, but this time thieves activated a series of alarms sending signals to
Tag Guard’s remote monitoring centre that is manned throughout the year.
Keyholders were immediately notified and arrived in time to see the intruders
leaving the site but the vehicle details were captured and the police informed.
 Richard Lang, Managing Director of Tag Guard, explains, “Site security has
always been one of the most troublesome issues facing building and
construction companies, never more so in a downturn when minimal margins
leave little room for services usually perceived as a ‘necessary evil’.
“Yet the same downturn means that sites have become even more vulnerable
to theft with raw materials left lying around that can represent easy – and
lucrative – pickings for criminal gangs or just opportunist thieves.
“It’s also worth bearing in mind that mobile security patrols typically last about
10 minutes per visit, which means premises are really only covered between
20 and 40 minutes per night; at all other times they are highly vulnerable to
break-in and theft.
“This installation at Baylight’s Marlborough site, as with so many others, has
proved that Tag Guard wireless security systems provide more effective
security cover – and at much lower cost – than manned guarding or mobile
patrols”.
Tag Guard Ltd pioneered the development of wireless security products and is
now one of the UK’s leading specialists in wireless systems for buildings and
construction sites.
