Considering switching to the Pinpoint staff attack system? 3 Reasons to make the move.   

As the market leader with multiple 5* reviews, Pinpoint is often the go-to for businesses looking to switch their current alarm system to the Pinpoint staff attack system.  

There are several reasons for doing so – advancing technology and evolving security needs may necessitate a newer system, while older models can pose a safety threat to both staff and service users. Whatever the reason may be, if your current safety system is no longer serving your needs, it’s worthwhile considering your options.  

Read on for the three reasons why you should consider switching your business’ safety system. 

Damage to the system  

Due to the very nature of the environment in which they are installed, staff safety systems can be exposed to vandalism and violence from service users.  

While this is to be somewhat expected, if your staff safety system is repeatedly getting damaged leading to ‘downtime’, it may be worth considering an alternative, more robust system.  

Pinpoint’s P2 system benefits from an anti-vandal fascia which is built to withstand tampering and prevent damage. Stronger materials have been used throughout our next-generation safety system to maximise resistance to vandalism or violence, thereby increasing the longevity and cost-efficiency of the purchase.  

An outdated system  

Over time, you may notice your system becomes less efficient and even malfunctions, which may lead to false alarm activations and compromised security. 

Older systems are more costly to run and often do not integrate with today’s technology. In such cases, it is worth switching the outdated system to Pinpoint’s latest P2 alarm system to improve the site’s safety and reduce running costs.  

What’s more, the Pinpoint Priority Service offers regular maintenance and servicing to optimise performance and increase consumer confidence in the effective running of the Pinpoint system.  

Failure to meet modern safety requirements 

As businesses evolve and grow, so too must their staff safety systems. In many cases, workplaces undergoing a refurbishment look to switch their current system to a completely new programme to accommodate the new build.  

For example, today’s staff attack systems must be able to integrate and communicate with other security programmes on-site, display multiple alarm activations simultaneously, and cover much greater areas than ever before. If your system doesn’t meet these needs, it may be time to look elsewhere for your staff’s security alarms.
