Door intercom units ensure security – but they should themselves also be secured against light fingers. Electronic gadgets of this quality are a temptation for the light fingered, as recently recorded cases have shown. The Düsseldorf police has recently reported a "new scam": Two culprits removed around 70 door loudspeakers from properties and auctioned them on the Internet. They knew exactly what to do: One of them removed the systems at night that he had mounted as an electrician during the day. The Geldern Criminal Investigation Bureau reported similar cases; There, particularly barefaced thieves actually removed the system installed at the County Court. However, most thefts are recorded by the police in well-to-do residential areas. Here, the unwanted night-time visitors generally aim specifically for top-quality brand name systems and models with video cameras. It is not difficult to imagine the damage and annoyance caused to the victims. In fact, most of these thefts could have been prevented simply and effectively.
Siedle recommends securing high-quality systems with its pilfer safeguard controller. By means of an electrical signal, this controls a solid locking mechanism in the door station. The transducer is located on the inside of the building, and so cannot be manipulated from the outside. Even experts using special tools will find it impossible to open a system secured in this way without destroying it. Particularly when it comes to protecting valuable security equipment such as a camera, code lock or fingerprint module, this effective pilfer safeguard can be obtained at a comparatively modest cost, while the benefits it has to offer are enormous: The occupants can lean back and relax in the knowledge that they have full protection – their security electronic systems are safe. |
High-grade security technology can be a temptation. A pilfer safeguard prevents any attempts to remove equipment.
