PARKING PROTECTION MA new security system designed to protect lorries and their cargos while parked up overnight, is now available.
The Vehicle and Cargo Security (VACS) system is produced by Zen Electronics of Braintree and sold through FWA Services of Felixstowe.
It uses a central control unit housed inside the depot which can monitor up to 50 vehicle bays. Each vehicle is plugged into an electrical connector on the bay; the connection is on the locking bar of the vehicle or container so that if the doors are opened or the vehicle moved, the system is alerted. This can activate several options — turn lights on, sound klaxons, start video cameras or alert the police via telephone auto-dial.
Authorised drivers with a personal number can remove pre-determined vehicles without triggering the alarm.
Further details are available from Zen on Braintree (0376) 48989.
