ADVANCED PROTECTION SYSTEMS (APS) LAUNCH IN DEVON & OFFER FREE TRIAL
Advanced Protection Systems (APS) already in use in thousands of homes throughout the country, as well as a host of well-known companies including Travelodge, Marriott Hotels and Greene King pubs, has just opened its first regional office in Devon, headed up by Axminster based Paul Bardey. APS is a highly sophisticated fire and intruder security system with an in-built assistance request facility connected to a monitoring centre manned by fully-trained Personal Incident Managers 24/7, 365 days a year. To celebrate the launch Paul Bardey is offering a free 1-month trial period without obligation for any new domestic or commercial enquiries.
The opening of the new office is timely, given Devon’s current crime levels. Devon and Cornwall Constabulary state that there were nearly 125,000 crimes reported in the region in the year to March 2006 (and these were only the ones reported). Figures for robberies and thefts from shops actually increased during that same time – and it is opportunistic crimes such as these that the APS system can help prevent.
Unlike most conventional systems, the APS unit is monitored constantly, therefore, the user can speak to a Personal Incident Manager via the system’s in-built microphone at any time, without needing to use a normal ‘phone. The assistance request feature is ideal for aiding the safety not only of anyone needing assistance in the home - making it particularly helpful to the elderly, infirm or anyone at home alone – but also of public-facing staff, who can speak to a Personal Incident Manager in case of threat.
Paul Bardey regularly reads the Express & Echo and takes cuttings of the reports of fires burglaries and attacks in both the home and workplace and places them in his ‘crime file’ to help highlight these horror stories when discussing the benefits of installing APS with clients.
Quote from Paul Bardey:
“I am passionate about this product and genuinely feel that no home or business should be without it. Even though we think Devon is a safe place to live in, we regularly read about local crimes in both the home and the workplace. APS is so much more than just an alarm system, it gives immediate response to a break in, fire or request for assistance, giving 24 hour protection, 365 days a year, whether you are at the premises or not! The system is used by a wide range of businesses, and is particularly useful where there are items like alcohol, cigarettes or cash – or where staff work alone. The knowledge that a Personal Incident Manager, can listen in, upon request for assistance; evaluate the situation and alert the Police gives real peace of mind. Also it is far cheaper than the average alarm only systems with so much more to offer.”

NOTES FOR EDITORS:
It is estimated that in the UK, a domestic burglary takes place every four minutes! And 64% of businesses have experienced at least one crime over the past year. The police now need every incident to be verified before they will attend, so more than 90% of burglar alarms are ignored.
APS is activated by the simple pressing of a discrete button, the APS system puts you in instant communication with a Personal Incident Manager based at the company’s registered Monitoring Centre, who will evaluate any situation, offer help or guidance – or alert the emergency services on your behalf. This will instigate immediate response as the emergency services treat all alerts from the Monitoring Centre as verified incidents so attendance is prioritised. The centre will only listen in when the alarm has been triggered or you press the assistance request button, and all this is 24/7 365 days a year.
With APS there are no false alarms! In the event of an alarm or the assistance button being pressed, the centre will ask if you are OK and if it is only that your dinner has burned, you can terminate the call by using your own personal password. Are you concerned that your property may burn down while you’re not around? With APS installed you never have to worry as the smoke will activate the alarm and the Centre will monitor the situation, immediately calling the fire brigade on your behalf if they deem this necessary.
Unlike most alarm systems, APS is pet friendly and is only activated by someone forcing an entry through windows or doors, so you can set it at night and sleep easy in your bed.
Not only for crime, APS is designed to enhance safety. With elderly relatives a constant worry, particularly when they do not live close by, what happens if they fall ill and are not able to get urgent medical assistance? With the Assistance Request Button being no bigger than a key ring, your loved ones can carry it with them at all times and have that human contact. A typical scenario would be that they are in bed and do not feel well and are unable to reach a telephone. At the press of a button, they can contact the centre and ask the Personal Incident Manager to telephone you to pass on a message or to get in touch………… or what if they feel threatened by a stranger at the door? They can activate the monitor and ask the centre to listen in. Amazingly the microphone is so sensitive that you do not have to be close to it for it to pick up sounds.
The APS system is very cost effective and far cheaper than the average alarm system with so much more to offer. Simple and easy to install, the unit uses the latest wireless technology, installation in either homes or commercial premises is quick and easy – and means that no redecorating is required. |
