Plant Security Manufacturers, CESAR and MicroCESAR
The companies listed below are either CPA or CITS (Combined Industry Theft Solution) members. It is recommended that you obtain independent security advice, either from your insurance broker or recognised qualified professional body, that can assist you on your particular security needs. This list of systems below, are a non-exhaustive array which companies can adopt singularly or in conjunction with other systems to help protect their assets.
The CPA staff are not qualified to recommend any particular system or company.
Close-circuit television (CCTV)
Close-circuit television (CCTV) can be used within a building or structure, or externally to a building, or insitu site or depot. These systems are versatile as they be either positioned in a fixed location, or can be easily transported and used in temporary (mobile) locations. The mobile CCTV systems can be self-sustaining with an in-built battery power supply to power the cameras, but to also run an internet connection back to either the CCTV’s service provider, or owner. The flexibility of these systems allows multiple sites (or multiple cameras for a single (remote) site), to be viewed from a single location.

Identity Systems
A simple but effective system that uses 1mm diameter laser etched dot, which can, for example, carry the Company Name, Telephone Number and Post Code. The asset can then be immediately identified back to the owner.
This can be particularly important in discouraging potential thieves. One clear benefit is that this system allows several thousand dots to be applied over the asset in a few minutes. These dots are detectable by shining a UV lamp on the area to be checked.
