Construction and remote site security in Kent

A wireless, battery-powered alarm that takes photos. Each detector has a motion sensor and a camera: when something moves within 35 metres, it photographs it, AI checks the photos for people and vehicles, and verified alarms go to a monitoring centre or your phone in about 10 seconds, by Reconeyez’s figures. It needs no mains power, no cables and no internet line.

With equipment that brings its own. Every Reconeyez detector, siren and Bridge runs on rechargeable batteries, and solar panels can keep them charged on long jobs, so nothing needs a generator or a mains supply.

No. A Reconeyez Bridge sends alarms over the 4G mobile network, and the detectors talk to the Bridge by radio. Reconeyez’s own SIM isn’t locked to one network, so it can use whichever has signal.

We check the signal at the survey. The Bridge can go wherever the signal is best, up to 500 metres from the detectors in line of sight. If there’s no usable signal anywhere on site, we’ll tell you, and suggest another way to protect it.

Reconeyez rates each detector at up to 400 days on standby; a busy site with lots of movement uses more. The Bridge, which sends the alarms over 4G, is rated at up to 150 days, so on longer jobs it’s worth adding a solar panel. Battery levels show in the Reconeyez Cloud, so batteries can be swapped before they run flat, and the devices stay sealed to IP67 while they’re changed.

Yes. At night the detectors take infrared photos, 1280 × 960 pixels, lit by their own infrared illuminator, so the site needs no lighting.

No. It takes still photos each time it detects movement (up to 10, set per detector), which is how it runs on batteries for months. Monitoring software can play a burst back as a short clip. For continuous recording or live video, we install CCTV, including on 4G.

Quickly. Reconeyez devices come set up, and Reconeyez quotes about two minutes per detector and about 20 minutes for a Sentinel tower once on site. Most of the work is planning where everything goes, which we do at the survey.

It depends on the size and shape of the site and what needs protecting. Each detector sees up to 35 metres, in a zone that’s wide close to the detector and narrows with distance, and one Bridge serves up to eight detectors or sirens. We plan the coverage at a free survey.

Yes. We rent Reconeyez for a minimum of 8 weeks, or you can buy it outright.

You choose: a 24/7 alarm receiving centre, the Reconeyez app on your phone, or both. When a verified alarm comes in, operators see the photos within seconds, can sound the siren, and follow your response plan, such as calling keyholders or a mobile response service.

Not automatically. Reconeyez isn’t a police-response (URN) system, so your response plan decides who goes, such as keyholders or a response service. If an operator sees a crime in progress, they can report it to the police. For police response at a permanent site, ask us about an NSI-approved intruder alarm.

Each alarm photo is checked by AI that labels people, vehicles and animals. Photos of wildlife or moving plants are classed separately and not sent to the monitoring centre, and you can mark parts of a picture to ignore, such as a road outside the fence. Reconeyez says this cuts false alarms by up to 95%.

A detector that’s tampered with raises an alarm and takes a photo, and detectors can be fixed with security nuts and bolts.

Yes. Photos of people are personal data, so put up signs saying the site is monitored, by whom and why, and don’t keep photos longer than you need. The Reconeyez Cloud keeps alarm photos for up to 30 days, and you can set it shorter. CCTV and data protection explained.

Usually, yes. Reconeyez connects to the platforms UK alarm receiving centres use, including Sentinel, Immix, Evalink, SureView, Manitou and SIA DC-09.

Yes. Number plate detectors photograph vehicles coming onto your land, best where they’re moving slowly (under about 15 mph), so you have pictures of the vehicle and its plate to give to the council or police.

Yes, as an extra: a detector can take time-lapse photos at set intervals. A detector in time-lapse mode isn’t guarding, so security needs its own detectors.

It does a different job: it detects, checks and deters around the clock, and a person responds when it’s needed. In a Reconeyez case study, Anchor Group Services cut its security hours by around 168 a week and said it was saving more than £100,000 a year.

It depends on how many detectors, sirens and Bridges your site needs, whether you buy or rent, and the monitoring. Rental is for a minimum of 8 weeks. Send us a site plan or book a free survey, and we’ll give you a clear price.
