SmartGuard 360™ delivers advanced intruder detection for vacant properties and construction sites, supporting environmentally friendly supply chains with emphasis on local UK production and European technology components. Our British-made security systems provide comprehensive protection while minimizing environmental impact through sustainable manufacturing and innovative power solutions.
Proudly made in the UK: select parts 3D printed at our offices, main unit fabricated within 6 miles. This minimises transport emissions, supports local economy, and ensures quality control. In 2022, only 17% of England's material footprint (1,142 million tonnes total) was from UK domestic extraction; increasing local sourcing reduces overseas reliance (83%), lowering embodied emissions from global supply chains and transport. For construction firms, this aids sustainable supply chain goals by reducing carbon footprint from logistics while supporting British manufacturing excellence.
Technology components manufactured in Europe, benefiting from shorter distance supply chains that enhance resilience, reduce costs, and manage unpredictability. As a European-based supplier, provides security advantages via EU focus on resilient critical supply chains for national security and cybersecurity compliance like NIS2. EU initiatives, such as 47 strategic raw materials projects, advance supply chain security and create over 1,000 jobs. Supports construction firms' green credentials through transparent, regionally-sourced component tracking and reduced transport impact from proximity manufacturing.
No solar panels, avoiding toxic materials like lead and cadmium that leach during disposal. Competitors' solar systems use hazardous production processes, cause pollution, and pose end-of-life risks—e.g., panels often fail toxicity tests with leachable heavy metals exceeding limits. Our design uses reliable power without weather dependency or solar inverter cyber vulnerabilities. Construction firms benefit from reduced environmental pressures via recycling and alternative materials, avoiding disposal complications and toxicity risks associated with conventional solar-powered security systems.
Main power source employs non-lithium technology with lower production emissions (reduced GHG vs. 120-250 kg CO2-eq/kWh in lithium-ion), non-toxic materials, smaller ecological footprint, and better safety than competitors' lithium-ion batteries. Delivers superior environmental impact—reducing production impact 4-9 times vs. conventional lithium-ion, plus up to 30% via recycling—and cost-effectiveness. Supports construction supply chain sustainability by minimising waste and carbon emissions while eliminating fire risks associated with lithium battery systems.
Uses ultra low power technology, reducing energy use for longer battery life and lower carbon footprint than higher-power rivals. BLE beacons in security devices operate months/years on a coin cell; deep sleep modes drop to microamperes, enabling extended life in sensors. Low-power IoT market valued at USD 7.8 billion in 2023, with 15% CAGR, driven by energy efficiencies in security applications. Enhances construction firms' green practices, contributing to reduction in the 60% of global GHG emissions from infrastructure and built environment sectors, while providing 2+ years battery life without solar dependency or mains power requirements.
