Property Development Company Choose Bold Rapid Alarm

Reported October 2007

BoldGuard is a wireless rapid deployment alarm system from security communications specialists, Bold Communications. With little or no programming required, BoldGuard provides immediate protection to high-risk sites. Housed in a compact and robust environmental case, BoldGuard can signal alarm events over SMS texts to mobile phones and/or industry-standard alarm protocol, Contact ID, to an alarm receiving centre.  Bold can also provide a complete monitoring solution, utilising the popular RX3000 multi-protocol alarm receiver and Mini Bold alarm management software.    

Supporting up to 32 detection devices, from PIRs, to panic alarms, to smoke detectors and door contacts, BoldGuard has been designed to provide the complete solution for non-technical users requiring an effective solution.

BoldGuard has already proven a popular choice for a number of applications. Ideal for housing trusts, councils, or yacht owners.  Indeed the unit is essential for any site with a temporary or rapid deployment security need.
The device’s functionality and simplicity made it the ideal choice for Commercial Development Projects Ltd, a property development company based in Elland, West Yorkshire. The family-owned company specialises in acquiring sites for speculative development throughout the North of England. CDP has been a thriving business since the 60s although, in common with many such development companies, has been a victim of vandalism and theft on a number of occasions, particularly where sites have remained unoccupied for a period.

“The vandalism and theft we have suffered have not only cost us time and money, but we were also under pressure from our insurers. As we often don’t have power or a phone line in buildings under development, a traditional alarm was not an option. Our insurance company suggested we go to Bold and get a monitored system to help protect our buildings. Bold proposed BoldGuard and we bought one to trial. The unit has proven to be a user-friendly, quick and easy solution, and we are looking to roll the product out to provide protection for further CDP sites”, said Dale Fox of CDP.

Brian Kelly, Bold Communications, commented “As CDP have shown, the BoldGuard’s popularity lies in its simplicity. It provides a quick, easy and effective way of monitoring buildings with no phone line or mains power.”
