Theft of construction equipment, machinery and fuel costs the construction industry over £800 million each year. Luminite offers a range of wireless security solutions aimed at sites where power is often compromised.

Wireless PIR Cameras

OCULi, from Luminite, is battery powered and provides rapid visual verification of an event which can be viewed in seconds via a mobile app or online portal.  The Wireless HD 4G PIR Camera provides seven seconds of HD images upon detection. Users can also request more footage of an event activation. A solar conversion kit makes it viable to live stream images and manually arm/disarm, overriding the automatic arm schedule.

The new 40m version is particularly suited to detecting vehicles or assets across a large area with the telephoto lens offering clear, close-up images from a distance.

Working with current security patrols or as a standalone system, alarm events can be viewed within seconds and the appropriate response made. Costs can be saved by ascertaining the cause of the alarm and filtering out non-events meaning personnel do not have to attend unnecessarily. Units can be wall-mounted or affixed to scaffolding.

Alertex

Around 40% (approximately 100,000) of all construction site fires are started deliberately and in line with HSG168 regulations, all sites must display a visual AND audible alert to fire. The Alertex wireless fire system has been designed specifically for temporary and evolving sites and complies with HSE Fire Safety Guidelines.

Units are quickly deployable around a site and have a robust 1km transmission range between units. Decibel levels can be adjusted to a maximum of 117 dB and are weatherproof to IP66 standard.

Wireless heat and smoke detectors can be added to a system and will activate Alertex units within their 100m range.

Genesis

Portable CCTV towers offer a quick and easily deployable option for construction companies. When fitted with Genesis PIR detectors or OCULi units they provide a robust solution with alarm and tamper relays.

A battery-powered sounder can also be used as an audible deterrent. These are fitted with an adjustable timer and can work with any alarm product that has volt free contacts. PIR detectors can also be used in conjunction with lighting control on sites at night.

Exclusive Zones

Construction sites often need to create temporary exclusion zones as a warning for when an area becomes too dangerous for workers or pedestrians to enter. This can be due to crane activity, moving vehicles, a spillage, workers at height or any other type of hazardous activity.

Alertex units can be quickly deployed around a perimeter to create an exclusion zone. These can be activated via a mobile key fob from 100 metres away and tripods are available for mounting units.

Boundary Shield

Active Wireless IR beams can be wall or pole mounted and create an invisible perimeter barrier around a whole site or part of a site where additional security is required, for example, storage areas for flammable material. The beams are fitted with Genesis transmitters and are compatible with all Genesis products.

60m and 100m beams are available with either fixed or adjustable frequency control to avoid cross-talk between beams.
