Preventing Metal Theft
across the UK

The problem
Metal theft is a growing problem, driven by the rising price of metal across the world and continuing high demand. The Association of Chief Police Officers estimates that metal theft costs the UK economy £770m every year*.

It’s a problem that not only affects building sites, but is also threatening homes, churches and heritage buildings where lead flashings are being stolen, and any environment where copper pipes or wires have been installed.

The Solution
Cost effective and convenient, Direct Virtual Guard provides an alternative to traditional CCTV and security guard site security and can be installed in under an hour.

The simple-to install system can provide instant security for churches, sub stations and open sites where metal theft is a threat, without the need for any hard wiring or on-site security personnel.

Thanks to the system’s motion detector technology and infra-red enabled cameras, metal thieves will be detected immediately when they approach the site. Video footage will then be sent to our monitoring centre via a secure GSM connection and our team of security professionals will make an informed decision to take action and alert the police.
