Fastsource,
the Yorkshire based haulage business, had a major issue. It needed to
protect both its vehicles and large amounts of diesel fuel stored on
site.
Director explains in more detail:
"Traditionally the company employed two night watchmen from 6pm to
6am to cover the site. The introduction of new employment legislation,
however, with the resultant increase in costs meant we had to review our
strategy. The obvious solution was CCTV, but our initial assessment was
that CCTV in itself was not as effective as having guards on-site. Then
a colleague suggested we consider remote video monitoring, and through
our installer Halon Bank Security we were introduced to Remote Video
Response (RVR)."
Fastsource is delighted with their investment in RVR, saving money and
proving more effective than employing security officers.
"In the age of league tables, the Police are keen to use their
resources in a manner that achieves a conviction," Jean says.
"The beauty of RVR is that the Police can be called while the
criminals are still on site and the video evidence makes it easier for
the Police to gain a conviction."
"Since the installation, we have managed to secure an arrest and a
conviction for a man caught taking fuel from one of the vehicles. He was
prosecuted on the strength of the video evidence we were able to supply
to the Police."
Jean goes on to say:
"The operators use their skills and knowledge of the site to
distinguish between a false alarm and a real break in. This does wonders
for our relationship with the Police.”
"With all the success we have had since we opted for RVR other
companies in the area have seen how effective it is and are now looking
into doing the same.”
