Child Safe Socket Safety Covers
Anyone with babies or young children, will know just how attracted they are to electrical sockets and plugs, so it’s only natural that when it comes to safety, this is a key area of concern for parents.
There are many safety products on the market to help you protect your children against electrical accidents, including socket safety covers and socket inserts,
…but do you know which ones may actually increase the risk to your children?
Plug covers, also called “socket inserts” or safety plugs, have been around for many years, however recent tests by an independent body show that not only are many of them poorly designed and manufactured, but the fundamental concept of the product is flawed and the product actually increases the risk of accidents to your child.

A safer alternative is the “Socket Safety Cover“, which encloses the whole socket. It prevents children playing with the socket, but also stops them pulling out plugs or switching off equipment in use.
Switching off your PC in mid flight could cause all sorts of problems including data corruption, or loss of work in progress, etc, …and how much would it cost you if your freezer was switched off?
Socket Safety Covers are available for single or double sockets (or light switches) …click here to see the full range of low cost Socket Safety Covers
EnigmaTag the exciting new Microdot Asset Marking system from Insight Security
EnigmaTag - the high quality asset marking system with a budget price tag;
Setting new standards for high quality, low cost security marking of your assets and valuables, EnigmaTag is the exciting new Microdot Marking system from Insight Security.
EnigmaTag has achieved the coveted ACPO “Secured by Design” Accreditation, so you know it’s a product you can rely on …and at less than 25p per mark (even before volume purchase discounts kick in), it’s easily affordable.
Unlike other covert marking systems, there are no hidden costs, so you won’t get stung later for annual renewal fees, database registration fees, etc. …you’ll know exactly what the full cost to you will be, at the time that you buy it.
.
What is EnigmaTag?
EnigmaTag is a covert asset marking product supplied in liquid form, in 5ml bottles, each of which holds sufficient marking fluid for up to 120 applications.
The UV reactive liquid in each bottle is saturated with hundreds of tiny, micro particles each one of which bears a uniquely identifiable secret code. Within each bottle, all micro particles bear the same unique code, but the code for each bottle is different (coded alike bottles can be supplied if required, for large volume users).
.
How does EnigmaTag work?
EnigmaTag is simply dabbed onto the item to be marked, using the convenient built in applicator brush on the inside of the bottle cap. The fluid can be used to mark items as diverse as; computers and office equipment, to JCBs or farming implements, …while it’s non aggressive properties also make it ideal for marking more delicate items such as paintings or antiques.
Once you’ve marked your items, you simply log on to the national database to register yourself as the owner of your specific EnigmaTag code (which is interpereted as an alph/numeric character string printed on the bottle label).
Registration costs are included in the initial purchase price so it won’t cost you anything to register and the database is accessible 24/7 for registrations as well as for police access.
Although virtually invisible to the naked eye, under the microscope, each mark can be seen to contain several of the coded micro particles, making it an easy job for the police to instantly identify the true owner of any marked item.
Used with the warning labels and window stickers supplied in each pack, EnigmaTag helps to protect assets in the home, school, business, sports club …in fact anywhere that assets exist!

New range of personal safety equipment is a hit with Insight customers
From homeowners to local authorities and construction companies, the range of specialist, value for money security and safety products from Insight Security is well known and respected.
But delivering quality, tried and tested safety and security products, is on it’s own, not enough for a company dedicated to delivering total solutions. It’s hardly surprising therefore that when Insight added a range of workwear and personal safety equipment to its product range, it proved an immediate hit with its customers.
The new range includes; eye protectors, ear protectors, materials handling gloves, and high visibility clothing, which means that you can now get all those little accessories you may need to make your installation quicker, safer and easier, from one place.
Imagine that you are going to paint the top of your garden wall with anti climb paint to deter burglars or other intruders. Not only can you get your anti climb paint at the best on line price from Insight Security, but now, as you place your order for your paint, you can also order your PVC or latex gloves, safety spectacles or goggles, disposable paint brushes, or other accessories that you might need.
…and if you’re going to install some of Insights more aggressive anti climb fence spikes or wall spikes, you’ll really appreciate the super heavy duty rigger gloves with their special extra leather reinforcement around the palm, thumb and forefinger, or possibly the ear defenders (if you have a lot of drilling to do).
As with all product ranges offered by Insight, the hard word in researching and choosing the best value and performance combination has already been done.
For example, rather than offering you a choice of hundreds of different eye protectors (one manufacturer alone produces 74 different versions of safety spectacle and 11 types of safety goggle), Insight simply offer a choice of three great value products;
The clear “Safety Goggles”, feature polycarbonate lens with a flexible body, elasticated headband and indirect ventilation - simple, affordable and reliable!
The “Safety Spectacles” may not be a “designer range”, but the modern wrap around styling certainly gives them a designer range look. The lightweight, polycarbonate construction means that they’re a lot less clunky than the basic type of safety glasses offered elsewhere and they are designed to fit comfortably whether you have a thin or broader face.
The “Safety Over-Spectacles” are also manufactured from robust polycarbonate and are designed to offer protection for those users who already wear prescription glasses.

Is Anti-Climb Paint safe?
The internet is a great place to find information these days, but it’s more than a little annoying when the information offered is plain wrong!
We recently stumbled on a blog post, in which the blogger stated that anti climb paint was poisonous!
Perhaps the blogger had had a bad experience with anti-climb paint while trying to climb a fence, post or wall that they should not have been? …however, for the record, anti climb paint is a non toxic, petroleum gel based paint that is safe to use, although it’s a real pain for burglars and other unwelcome intruders.

Low cost security metal detectors for schools and small businesses
Buying a metal detector for security applications such as checking that a person is not carrying a knife or weapon, etc. can be a bit of a nightmare, given the shear range of products flooding into the market to satisfy the needs of clients facing the high profile issue of knife crime in the UK.
Most of us understand that if there is a large price difference between two apparently similar poducts, there is normally a reason! …and when it comes to security metal detectors that is certainly currently the case - so Buyer Beware!
Which type of metal detector would best suit you?
Obviously if you will need to scan a high volume of people in a short time, it is likely that you should be considering a walkthrough metal detector arch of the type commonly used at airports, etc. and as a rough budget guide, the cost will be between £1,800 and £7,000 depending on the level of sophistication you require.
Where you need to scan fewer people, or you have more time in which to do it, hand held security metal detectors could offer a lower cost alternative, where the typical price range for a quality unit is £100 to £300, and with budget units on offer from around £35.00.
Choosing a Hand Held Metal Detector;
The best advice is to buy from a reputable supplier, as not only will they be able to help you choose the most appropriate unit for your application, but will also offer you a guarantee with the product.
Beware - there are many dubious “Rip off copy” metal detectors flooding into the UK. Typically these are copies of professional models produced by a handful of top quality metal detector manufacturers (some copies even feature the name and markings of the original unit), however, having evaluated several such units, the similarity is very definitely only skin deep.
Whilst the advertised selling price of these Rip off copy detectors initially looks attractive, shoddy manufacturing, the use of substandard or inferior internal components and circuitry, combined with the fact that all such units employ very old analogue technology makes them a very poor choice.
Short operational life before failure (and disposal as such units are non repairable), combined with very high battery drain, tends to make these units a very poor investment financially as often the lifetime cost of ownership is many times that of a quality unit!
Checking for weapons, etc, is an area where erratic performance is simply not acceptable - a detector that doesn’t always detect, is obviously more of a liability than a security tool!
Insight Security are security specialists who supply metal detectors to police, military, schools and other public sector organisations as well as to businesses of all size.
There’s a mass of informative and useful information on metal detectors - the product range, choosing the right unit, how to use your detector, etc. on their company website; www.insight-security.com
