The BIGGER pictureHere’s the deal, everyone wants valuefor money and in our current climatethis is on everyone’s mind...

Recently I had a chat with a friend of mineabout a vehicle repairer who is, shall wesay, careful with cash. The vehicle repairerskilfully uses the sanding pad until it’s sothin you can see through it, overlookingthe fact that the sanding is taking 3 timesas long meaning that the £30 of additionallabour outweighs the 0.45p pad by 66:1.

If he took a step back and looked at theBIGGER picture then he would see howmuch he is wasting.

This happens subconsciously on an almostdaily basis in nearly every organisation.You might not be aware of what is goingon right under your nose. My suggestion is

to seek advice from thosewho you trust, but whowill also deliver the badnews too.

Monitoring is a term that is not as commonly recognised as Redcare, but Redcare isin fact a brand of monitoring, not the actual product itself (It’s a bit like saying‘Hoover’ for a Vacuum Cleaner).

These are:1. If your insurance provider requires it.Most insurance providers do ask foryour systems to be monitored, howeverit is worth double checking with cont...

your insurance provider to see whetheror not you definitely need monitoring.It might be required on your firesystems but not your intruder.

2. If you are conscious of your buildingwhen no one is there.

For example if you run a schoolbuilding, you will have peace of mindknowing that people who are neededi.e. Police or Fire Brigade, will be calledinstantly and automatically

WHAT DO I NEED IN PLACE TO HAVEA MONITORED SYSTEM?
