Crime deterrent from south Wales firm aims to exterminate house building and developer construction site break-ins

SECUREIT, a leading provider of fire and security solutions, has kicked off 2025 by officially launching its innovative Video Alarm System Pod (VASP) in south Wales. Designed to redefine commercial and building site security, the VASP combines advanced image capture technology with the versatility to provide an unparalleled site security solution.

Tailored to meet the needs of residential house builders and construction sites, the VASP is a compact, portable security device equipped with PIR-controlled video cameras that capture real-time images of its surroundings. Each unit is capable of wirelessly connecting up to 200 additional PIR-controlled cameras, offering seamless scalability and comprehensive coverage for larger sites.

“Residential house builders face unique challenges in safeguarding their projects against theft and vandalism,” said Philip Popham, Managing Director of SECUREIT. “The VASP has been designed with these challenges in mind, delivering a portable yet powerful security solution that integrates cutting-edge video technology with ease of use.”

The firm’s range of security solutions have already gained traction among leading developers, with SECUREIT’s proven track record working alongside prominent companies such as Redrow and Llanmoor Homes. The VASP’s system’s versatility makes it ideal for securing a range of sites, from single residential builds to larger-scale developments.

John Reid, Head of Business Development at SECUREIT, added, “The VASP represents a significant step forward in site security. Its wireless integration of additional cameras and portable design ensures it meets the evolving demands of the construction industry. We’re confident that this product will set new standards in protecting assets and providing peace of mind for our clients.”

Notably, the VASP’s distinctive appearance —reminiscent of an intergalactic adversary in the iconic Doctor Who television series—provides an instant visual deterrent to those considering committing crimes on construction sites. With its primary focus firmly on delivering exceptional security performance, would-be perpetrators can expect a visit from a local police officer rather than a travelling time lord.

With its sleek, functional design and robust capabilities, the robotic looking VASP is the ideal solution for securing high-value properties and construction projects. The VASP will be officially available for deployment from mid-January 2025. For further information or to arrange a demonstration please call SECUREIT from the nearest available telephone box or mobile device of choice.
