1. What is a fire safes? Fire safes are generally broken down into three main categories: Those which will protect paper documents; digital media such as USB sticks or DVDs; or magnetic data tapes such as LTOs, DAT tapes or DLTs. Fire safes and data safes are built differently to protect their contents, as each can withstand different levels of heat: Paper: 177 °C / 350 °F Digital: 120 °C / 248 °F Data: 52 °C / 125 °F Data tapes are sensitive, easily damaged and susceptible to low levels of heat or humidity. The manufacturers recommend maximum exposure to heat must not exceed 52°C or humidity levels of greater than 85%. Thus, data safes are designed to keep the inside of the safe below 85% humidity, whilst also maintaining an internal temperature below 52°C (or about half that of a cup of coffee). 2. Will they protect against a burglar? Yes, they are still a safe at the end of the end of the day and many fire safes are suitable for secure storage for cash and valuables too. Much of what the average house owner keeps in a fire safe is often important documents like passports, house and […]

Situation Frankston is a dynamic municipality within the southern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. In recent years the Victorian state government has invested significantly to further enhance this enviable bayside location as a designated tourist destination. With a population already over 120,000 and set to rapidly grow, Frankston City Council desperately needed to upgrade and streamline their security management system and processes. Before the upgrade, each of the Council’s 10 different sites had a standalone Inner Range Concept 4000/Insight solution with each site managing its own cardholders. Accuracy of cardholder data across the 10 sites was a real concern due to the manual process required to update records. Task The requirements for Frankston City Council were simple but two-fold: they needed a robust and user-friendly system that would build upon the existing Concept 4000 infrastructure and a single system that would easily accommodate a multi-site architecture, thus reducing the inefficiencies of individually managing 10 sites. It was also important that the new system was future proof with a scalable modular design, could integrate with third party systems if required, was competitively priced with no lock-in contracts (or annual fees) and could seamlessly utilise the Council’s existing wired, wireless and WAN based […]

Protecting Historical and Newer Buildings in the Age of Terrorism. The beautiful Gulfo di Napoli (Bay of Naples) sets the stage for a discussion on Using Building Design to Reduce the Effects of Terrorist Attack. Architects, engineers, facility managers, planners and security professionals, from government agencies and the private sector, meet to discuss proven principles for the high occupancy built-up environment. They will share their lessons learned. Our case study review will be of the European Simulation and Validation Center (ESVC) in Ede, The Netherlands. The study involved reducing the risk of active shooter threats to students and staff. Naples, with all of its historically important buildings is the perfect backdrop as we discuss preserving the cultural identity of facilities while at the same time incorporating modern-day crime prevention and antiterrorism guidelines. “Unless community leaders have a strategic plan, their efforts in meeting the ever increasing needs of the urban environment will become a patch-work of ideas and risk reduction will be marginal, at best. As urban centers of the future increase in population so will the demand for functionality on a multitude of levels. This workshop addresses the security quotient of the Smart Cities formula”, says Doug Haines, course […]

Innovative has recently launched a new module called “Automatic Alarm Receiving Centre”. In that regard, we are releasing a short video demonstrating how Automatic ARC works. Automatic Alarm Receiving Centre is a module, which in case of an alarm, automatically begins dialing contacts – one by one. The first contact to answer the call will be informed by a reader that an alarm has been generated on a given zone. The contact is then presented with different options, such as disposing of the alarm, requesting a guard be dispatched to the address or talking to an operator at the ARC. This way, contacts themselves now have the opportunity to initially “screen” an alarm in order to determine its subsequent path. Watch the video here.

Top Ten Tips for Communication Success PLANNING – Plan the communications element of your operation as thoroughly as you would any other aspect: if you don’t know how, don’t be afraid to ask someone who does. SELECTION – Choose the right technology; as a rule of thumb use UHF for big cities and VHF for more rural settings. HEIGHT – The more height you can get for your antenna the further you will be able to communicate. MOVEMENT – Movement clears blackspots; even moving a few metres can make the difference between a call getting through or not. GO DIGITAL – Analogue radios are still with us and will be for a long time, but the future is digital. ACCESSORISE – Research audio accessories and choose the right one for the task; having a variety to choose from gives you options. BATTERIES – Make sure you have enough for the duration of the task; two spare batteries per radio is ideal and will give 24 hour usage. CHARGING – As with laptops and tablets and phones, charge your batteries whenever you get the chance. ANTENNAS – Consider different antenna options for both portables (handhelds) and mobiles giving you operational flexibility. […]

How do you communicate? Communications is vital to our everyday lives, and there are so many ways in which we do it: voice, text, email, tweets, pokes, VIBER, Tikl, WhatsApp, BBM the list is virtually endless.  So much do we take the ability to communicate for granted, that it is often overlooked in the planning phase of operations where, in reality, it should take centre stage. Take the military scenario as an example.  When an operation begins, the very first thing that will be established is a communications link between the front line and those directing operations.  Without it the commanders can neither issue instructions to their forces, nor receive intelligence feedback; without communications they are deaf, dumb, blind and vulnerable and this is true for every other situation from the Boardroom to the Ops Room. When planning an operation in a hostile environment communications takes priority because we expect to have to provide it for ourselves, and this mind-set should be extended to any environment friendly or hostile: sadly that doesn’t always happen and many an operation in a sleepy, leafy suburb has floundered for this very reason. So what are some of the things we should consider from […]

With the issue of national security at the front of everyone’s mind, utility companies and their suppliers, not to mention Government ministers and advisors, have never been more aware of the importance of keeping the nation’s water supply and its critical national infrastructure and equipment secure. The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) has advised public sector organisations which own parts of the Critical National Infrastructure, on design improvements to protect them from the effects of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CRBN) agents. And measures have been taken by all of our water companies to safeguard against chemical and physical attack. All water utilities new build sites will be obliged to meet the current Government directives but, of course, the far bigger challenges come from bringing existing, ageing sites up to date so they too meet these high standards. Sue Paton, Sales and Commercial Director of Morgan Marine, who design, engineer and manufacture security housings from their Carmarthenshire HQ, alongside a wide range of LPCB accredited product such as doors, access covers, barsets and cages for the utilities industries, says: “Much work has been done across Britain to bring our water infrastructure up to date. “But of course […]

Want to Sell More Safes this Month – Act Now. Traditionally many government subsidised or fully funded authorities are provided with an annual budget that runs from 1st April to 31st March. This means that they often try to ensure every penny of their budget for the current financial year is spent by the end of March, to make sure that their budget is fully replenished for the following financial year. So, if you are a supplier to the public sector then let these customers know that they can buy Phoenix Safes from you. Products such as our Fire Ranger FS1510 Series Fire Cupboards and the FS2250 Series World Class Vertical Fire Files sell fast in March as they provide large storage capacities for the protection of paper records. These kinds of products are ideal for the ‘Budget Burn’ that many of these organisations do in March. Gallery
