The Case For Flexiguard
VMD vs Fibre Optics

There has been much debate over which is best in this particular argument and we do not wish to add to that debate in any other way than to speak the truth about our experiences both as a manufacturer and as a supplier involved directly with engineers and clients in the field. Over the years we have met people around the world who have had poor experiences with fibre sensor cable systems and we still continue to encounter them today.

The most common complaints they have are:

product bullet
 False alarms (generated by the wind or sometimes nearby movement which is not intruder generated)
product bullet
 Repairs (difficult and often expensive)
product bullet
 Cold conditions (prone to freezing inside cabling so the don't work)
We have even produced our own VMD vs Fibre Optics Comparison chart where we measured criteria of our Flexiguard against its fibre optic equivalent.

Suffice it to say we remain convinced that our technology offers far greater, long term benefits than anything fibre optics can.
