M2M Safety and Security
M2M technology can be used to protect your property, vehicles and employees.
Property Security
Getting burgled because your alarm system has failed is a situation that no business wants to face. Yet over 70% of alarm owners in the UK take this potentially disastrous risk by leaving their systems unmonitored.
With O2's M2M solutions, you won't be one of them. We use pre-defined 'pinging' communication to check your alarm status on a regular basis. These communications operate at a very low data usage charge to give you a cable-free security system. And like traditional alarms, alerts can be sent to any location you wish.
M2M is much cheaper to install and maintain than traditional alarms. And it can also be used as a back up if your fixed line fails.
By using M2M, you'll take advantage of:
- Resilience with dual connectivity methods
- Enhanced monitoring possibilities
- Increased communication security
- Easy, cable-free installation
Vehicle Security
M2M gives you real control over your company vehicles. It's already favoured by leading UK insurance companies, which offer reduced premiums to M2M-protected vehicles.
From using Bluetooth/smartcard technology to identify drivers when they enter your vehicle to GPS-based geo-fencing (in other words, tracking your car's movements once you're on the move) tracking on the road, M2M gives your vehicles a new level of protection.
Silent alarms are triggered if any aspect of the system is breached and are sent to your security firm or the police for immediate action. And you can literally stop thieves in their tracks by using the onboard SIM to remotely immobilise stolen vehicles.
