Our Team work real hard on giving our Customers a fast & professional Delivery Service ‘wherever possible’ together with great Customer Service experience, lets meet the key members of our UK branch:

Product Preparation & Despatch:

Luke Stogjanovic (rumour has it, he was once 21).

Luke (known as Stog) has been grafting in the workshop for over 10 years now, his hobbies include following all types of Sports especially Football.

Mark Ward (was once 21).

Mark specialises in working with our Steel Bollards & Security Posts, his hobbies include working with anything metal using his comprehensive forge and workshop back at his home, the golden rule here is never leave any spare metal laying around or it will suddenly vanish and return in a different shape.

Jacob Sturgess (not far past 21).

Jacob is our resident musician, give him an Instrument, he can play it (check his band out by searching for J. D. Blues on Facebook)

Tim Cooper (thinks he was once 21).

Tim has always loved to mend things and has taken to this role at Ultra Secure like a Duck to Water.

Technical Support:

Richard Whitehead (he can’t remember 21).

Richard our ‘Special Project Director’ (which is his way to make a simple project sound complicated) is our real all rounder with knowledge in Electronics, Mechanics & Building, he has been helping our Customers with their technical problems now for over 10 years (although he can be shy at times).

Peter Staley (still thinks he is 21).

Peter is our ‘Go To’ technical person, he has a memory like a Computer and loves playing around with Cameras, Routers & GSM products, he has been happily solving our customers issues now for over 10 years and has the patience of a Saint.

IT:

Tom Sharpe (still looks like 21).

Tom joined as a boy and has steadily grown into our IT & Photo Expert, he loves to work with technology (most of the time) until it is time to open the Whiskey back at Home.

Accounts:

David Pope (dreams of being 21 again).

David gave up his Postman round to help Steve out about 8 years ago, and is still here (as much as we try), David’s passion is old Motorcycles (reminds him of his youth) & Craft Beer.

Jan Walter (would be rude to ask).

Jan comes into the office a few days a week to keep David in Check, she has also found a new size Wine Glasses recently !!

Dee Statham (again we dare not ask).

Dee is our official Accountant, when you can drag her away from her Charity Work & Garden (she hasn’t followed Jan’s advice about the size of Wine Glasses yet).

Steve Walter (would love another chance of 21).

Steve is a major cog in the wheel at Ultra Secure, helping to conduct day to day routines, his loves his Animals but we keep him locked behind this screen letting him out at weekends (sometimes).

Sales:

Lee Hughes (Hasn’t had a Shave for 21 Years):

Lee has been at Ultra Secure for 13 years now and gets involved in many aspects of the business, and will often be the first voice you hear when you call Sales, his loves his walking around the South West Coast and has promised to shave when Lockdown ends (we will see ?).

Stuart Shaw (21 is now just a memory, we have aged him):

Stuart is our Sales Manager and has the responsibility on his shoulders to ensure our Customers are happy, he loves his Sport, Food (as you can see) and Music (although he is banded from changing the Radio Station).

What Outdoor Alarm Sensor should I Use?

What type of Outdoor Alarm Sensor should I use for my Outdoor Alarm & Alert systems, four common models are listed below:

PIR (passive infrared):

Positives:

These are the quickest and easiest Sensors to fit.
Most have a detection range from 10 – 15 metres.
There is no complicated lining up, nothing to aim the Sensor at.
Most are Battery powered.
Multiple PIR’s can normally be used with one Alarm.
They are usually a lower cost than some other solutions.

Negatives:

They can detect small ground Animals or Flocks of Birds (if they are not positioned correctly, or the right model is chosen).
They will be activated by large Animals such as Deer & most Dogs.
The Sun can in some instances trigger them very early or late in the day (if they are not positioned with thought).

Laser Beams:

Positives:

They can normally protect wider areas (100 metres or more on some models).
They are far less likely to have False Alarms.
They are a very narrow Beam making them suitable for monitoring a Perimeter or Fence line.
Multiple Beams can often be used with one Alarm.

Negatives:

They are more difficult and can take more time to set up.
They are normally more expensive.

Vehicle Probes (underground covert probes):

Positives:

They are designed to only detect Vehicles or moving Steel (so ideal for locations with large animals present).
They are normally fitted underground (so can be invisible to intruders, or at least far less obvious).
They can be fitted under Steel Gates (being only triggered if the Gate is opened).
They can be connected directly with Diallers to make ideal covert Vehicle Alarms.

Negatives:

They are more difficult and take longer to set up.
They are normally a higher price than a PIR.
The detection range is less than a typical PIR or Laser Beam.

Gate Alarm (magnetic gate contact):

Positives:

They are designed to only detect a Gate being opened (so ideal for locations with large animals).
They can be fitted to most types of Gates.
Ideal for large filled in Gates (where the contact cannot be seen).
Ideal for Gates that are not locked during certain times of the Day.

Negatives:

They are more difficult and take more time to fit.
They can be bypassed by a professional Burglar (but this can be greatly minimised to where and how they are fitted).

There are no perfect scenarios of what Sensors to use, quite often the best approach is to use a combination of the products listed above, therefore it is important that you initially choose a model of Alarm that can cover all the potential options you may require.

What Do I Need ?

Support:

Ultra Secure have UK Telephone & Email Technical support in place for helping customers before and after Sales.

Summary:

So in a nutshell you get a working Security Light, which can Alert (or warn) your Visitors (friendly or not) that they have been detected, together with giving the owners a Push Notification Alert, which then allows them to view the Camera in real time (via the APP), have Two-way Communication, Record or even trigger the built in Siren. Recordings can also be viewed after the event through the APP.

Alternatively for customers preferring to power the device via a simple 2 or 3-pin wall socket, we also supply these Cameras which also have a built in Spot Light, albeit not as bright as the mains powered devices. The list of features is very similar with Live Streaming, Recording, Two-way Communication, Built in PIR, Quality 1080P Resolution & Free APP.
