UBX Security Systems Ltd

SCAFFOLDING ALARM SYSTEM

WHEN WAS IT INVENTED?
David Dando, the founder of UBX, invented the “Scaffold Intruder Alarm System” in 1989. Following extensive prototype trials the UBX (Unique Band X) microwave technology was established. The technology and methodology were granted full International Patents in 1995 and with continuous innovation it has become the world’s most advanced outdoor intruder prevention system for scaffolding.

The inventor, David Dando, proprietor of the Intellectual Property Rights and the UBX registered trademark, granted licences to his three companies, “UBX Security PLC” a subsidiary of "UBX Holdings Ltd" in London and “UBX Security Inc. of America” in Washington, D.C.

UBX Scaffolding Alarms Systems were independently trialled (2 years) and fully approved by BT, HSBC and RBS to meet their approved security specifications. In excess of 5200 bank projects and over 375 major BT projects have been successfully completed. The UBX 419 System complies to the ‘Enhanced System’ in Code of Practice NSI NCP115 and SSAIB SS2006. However, the UBX System is augmented to meet the BT and Banks Specifications.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The invention works using the UBX (Unique band X) controlled microwave ‘FAZOR’ system. This produces an electromagnetic energy shield, variable up to 200 metres long. This invisible energy always detects a human intruder climbing up the outside or the inside of the scaffold structure. The unique system is NOT activated by:-

• pedestrians or vehicles at ground level
• birds or animals at higher level
• scaffold netting or plastic sheeting
• vibration, sunlight or any adverse weather conditions.

The UBX ‘FAZOR ‘ energy shield remains stable at all times, hence zero false alarms.
The climbing intruder is always detected by the UBX energy shield due to the full detection pattern uniquely covering the outside and inside of the scaffold structure. When climbing a scaffold or a scaffold ladder, the human intruder cannot alter their body shape (cannot lay down or crawl) and therefore the sophisticated energy shield they climb through always identifies them.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN INTRUDER IS DETECTED?
The Scaffold Alarm’s main function is to deter the intruder not to climb up but to leave the scaffold. The system can react in a number of ways. It can:-

• sound a voice alert message stating, “Please leave the scaffold, you are committing an offence and in serious breach of Health and Safety regulations,”
• trigger an alarm siren to alert people nearby, deter the intruder from climbing and to leave the scaffold,
• trigger scaffold floodlights to alert people nearby and to deter the intruder,
• transmit the alarm signal and CCTV live visual verification pictures to an NSI Gold approved Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC),
• transmit the alarm signals to nearby Police and Council street CCTV unit who will watch and record the incident and alert the Police,
• transmit the alarm signals and CCTV live visual verification pictures to any smartphone (usually main contractor’s site Manager).

Should the intruder not leave the scaffold, their movements are tracked and recorded by the alarm and the CCTV visual verification pictures. All events are displayed and recorded live at the ARC. The ARC will summon the nominated authorities, private security, keyholders etc.
The entire system is automatically reset following an event and all events are retained as evidence for the Police, Insurance and Main Contractor.
