| Homezone Smoke detector saves lives |
|
| |
| A quick thinking mother reacted to the alarm from her Homezone alarm system to save her 2 children from a blaze that gutted her home in Worcester. |
| |
| She was at home with 1 year old McKenzie and 4 year old Jordan when the smoke alarm alerted her to the fire which started in the TV set in the lounge.
She rushed into the room, grabbed her children and ran outside. Minutes later the house was engulfed in flames.
Ms W. says that her 'stand alone' smoke detector, supplied by the counil failed to operate, but the Homezone wirefree detector worked perfectly and saved their lives.
DOES YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR WORK AND GIVE YOU AN ALARM 24/7 ??? |

The new premises are about 10 miles away.

| New details on credit fraud |
|
| |
| Recent research commissioned by APACS shows that millions of Britons are still not aware of some basic security pitfalls. |
| |
| Recent research commissioned by APACS shows that millions of Britons are still not aware of some basic security pitfalls, such as the importance of keeping their PIN private or sharing PINs between different cards. Tips on how consumers can fight card fraud can be found at cardwatch.org.uk and banksafeonline.org.uk.
Although overall fraud losses are down, counterfeit card fraud losses are up 16 per cent to £53.0m. APACS reckons fraudsters have switched tactics. Instead of stealing cards they are increasing copying magnetic strip details using techniques such as skimming before using hidden miniature cameras to capture PINs at cash machines. Criminals then create fake magnetic stripe cards for use at cash machines and tills that have not been upgraded to chip and PIN. These losses are expected to decline in the UK in the second half of the year as all UK cash machines and the vast majority of tills get upgraded.
On a more positive note, fraudulent losses in shops decreased 43 per cent to £42.1m, following on from a 35 per cent fall the year before, a trend credited to the introduction of Chip and PIN as a alternative to signatures as a means to authorise card payments. Card fraud abroad increased by 16 per cent as fraudsters - thwarted by the introduction of chip and PIN at home - targeted countries that have not yet upgraded to the technology. The European banking industry plans to roll out chip authorisation technology across the continent by 2010 in a bid to stem these losses. The UK itself was rather late to the Chip and PIN party itself, of course. Similar technology has been in use in France, for example, for years. Cheque fraud is down to £16m, compared to £21.6m during the first half of 2005, a decrease of 26 per cent.

| POLICE RESPONSE FOR YOUR ALARM SYSTEM |
|
| |
| The Homezone Alarm system complies with the requirements of the Police so that we can offer you police response in the event of an activation (subject to conditions). An additional charge of up to £45.00 has to be paid to cover the cost of the certificate required by the police. |
| |
| In order to minimise the national incidence of false alarms, the police introduced a series of requirements for alarm systems that meet European technical standards,to be compliant for police responce.
In summary, there must be a confirmed alarm - at least 2 different detectors are activated within a short period of time. They must be installed and maintained by an accredited company and they must have a proper survey/risk assessment.
The homezone system meets these requirements and we can now offer police response following a survey
