We understand the multifaceted challenges of safeguarding vacant properties. In today’s climate, where sustainability is paramount, businesses need solutions that not only ensure security but also align with their eco-conscious principles.
In this blog post we delve into SPS’s innovative ecofriendly security solutions for detection and prevention of intruders.
We describe how the use of forward thinking solar-panelled PIDS (Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems) like the SPS Blue Star and SPS’ steel security screens and doors are great deterrents for crime, but also reliable detection and prevention devices, making them an ideal choice for insurers and landlords when it comes to protecting their assets.

The Growing Imperative of Sustainable Security
Vacant properties represent prime targets for trespassers, vandals and criminals, posing significant risks to both assets and public safety.
Traditional security measures like manned guarding or wired alarm systems, while effective, often come with environmental costs and hefty operational expenses. As sustainability takes centre stage, businesses are seeking greener alternatives that mitigate security threats while minimising ecological footprints.
Harnessing Solar Power with Solar-Panelled PIDS
SPS Blue star, our solar-panelled PIDS (Perimeter Intrusion Detection System), offers a sustainable solution to perimeter security challenges. By harnessing solar energy, these systems operate off-grid, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources and slashing carbon emissions.
Here’s why solar-panelled SPS PIDS are a game-changer in vacant property security:
✅ Renewable Energy: The use of solar panels ensures continuous operation without depleting finite resources.
✅ Off-Grid Capability: Solar-panelled PIDS function independently from the grid, making them ideal for remote or temporarily vac
ant properties.
✅ Environmental Sustainability: By utilising solar power, our PIDS significantly reduce carbon emissions associated with traditional security setups. Businesses can fulfil their environmental responsibilities while safeguarding their properties.
✅ Long-Term Cost Savings: While initial investment costs may be higher, solar-panelled PIDS offer substantial long-term savings by eliminating ongoing utility bills. Minimal maintenance requirements further enhance cost-effectiveness over the system’s lifespan.
Enhancing Security with Steel Shutters
Steel shutters complement our solar-panelled PIDS. Made from durable, recyclable materials, steel shutters offer robust protection while promoting sustainability. There are three big reasons why they’re integral to green property security:
✅ Deterrent Effect: Steel shutters act as a visible deterrent, discouraging potential intruders and mitigating security risks.
✅ Durability and Recyclability: Manufactured from high-quality steel, these shutters are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. At the end of their lifecycle, steel shutters can be recycled, reducing waste and environmental impact.
✅ Energy Efficiency: In addition to providing security, steel shutters contribute to energy
efficiency by insulating properties against heat loss, reducing the need for heating and cooling.
Empowering Local Response Teams
Our localised response teams play a crucial role in vacant property security, offering rapid intervention in the event of security breaches. By leveraging local resources, businesses can enhance security while minimising carbon emissions associated with lengthy response times.
They’re vital because they ensure:
✅ Swift Intervention: Our teams can quickly address security incidents, reducing the chance for potential damage and disruption to properties.
✅ Reduced Carbon Footprint: By deploying local teams, we reduce reliance on distant resources, thereby lowering carbon emissions associated with travel and transportation.
✅ Local Familiarity: Our response teams know the area, which makes them more effective.
Integrating Natural Barriers: The Role of Hedgerows
Incorporating natural barriers, like hedgerows or trees, further improves vacant property security while promoting biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Hedgerows offer a natural deterrent to intruders while creating a habitat for wildlife and improving air quality.
Here’s why hedgerows are valuable additions to a green property security strategy:
✅ Natural Deterrent: Similarly to steel shutters, hedgerows act as physical barriers, impeding access and deterring potential intruders from entering the property.
✅ Biodiversity Enhancement: Hedgerows and trees provide a habitat for birds, insects, and small mammals, supporting local biodiversity and ecosystem health.
✅ Air Quality Improvement: Natural barriers contribute to improved air quality and climate resilience.
Security Without the Cost
In an era defined by environmental consciousness, businesses must adopt sustainable security practices to protect their assets and communities.
SPS Blue Star, our Solar-panelled PIDS, steel shutters, localised response teams and natural barriers offer four green solutions, ensuring robust security while minimising environmental impact.
At SPS, we’re committed to pioneering sustainable security solutions that empower businesses to protect their properties responsibly. By embracing green technologies and community partnerships, securing a better future is one of our key priorities.
