Fire & Flood Detection Systems.

A: Many of our advanced monitored technology solutions, including the VPS RDTa, POD S1 and Smart Hub +, are completely self-powered, off-grid, and wireless. They utilise long-life internal batteries and state-of-the-art solar harvesting, combined with multi-network 4G/5G connectivity. This ensures continuous, uninterrupted 24/7 site protection even on remote infrastructure projects, vacant land/property, or early-stage construction sites. 

A: Every monitored alarm, sensor or video analytic event is received by the VPS Monitoring Centre, where trained operators assess the alert using live video and intelligent verification technology. By helping to filter false alarms and identify genuine threats quickly, we can support a fast, proportionate response in line with your agreed escalation procedures, whether that’s notifying your team, coordinating a response or contacting the emergency services where appropriate. 

A: Yes. Our monitored video technology is designed to work as part of the wider VPS security ecosystem, integrating with multiple sensors and security devices to create a scalable, layered approach to site protection. With real-time communication between connected devices, threats can be detected, verified and responded to quickly, while complementing your existing site safety measures and physical security. 

A: Our monitored security technology uses intelligent video analytics and AI-supported detection to help identify potential security incidents, such as unauthorised access, perimeter breaches or suspicious activity, while reducing alerts caused by environmental factors like wildlife, moving foliage or adverse weather conditions. Alerts can be reviewed by the VPS Monitoring Centre as part of the agreed monitoring and escalation process, helping to improve threat verification, reduce false alarms and support a more effective response. 

A: As a temporary security specialist, we understand that security requirements can arise at short notice following a change in threat level, an incident or a property becoming vacant. That’s why all of our monitored security solutions are designed for rapid deployment, helping to secure sites quickly when protection is needed most. Depending on the solution and site requirements, systems can often be delivered on the same day or next day, before being commissioned, tested and connected to the VPS Monitoring Centre to help protect your people, property and assets as quickly as possible. 

A: Yes. Sustainability is an important consideration in the design and deployment of our temporary security solutions. Many of our monitored systems are powered by solar energy with rechargeable battery backup, reducing the need for mains power or fuel-powered generators. Their modular design enables transportation in smaller vehicles, while our nationwide network of regional depots helps minimise travel distances to site, reducing transport-related emissions. Together, these features help lower the environmental impact of deploying temporary security without compromising on performance.
