Rural crime is a growing concern, which according to a recent report by the insurance firm NFU Mutual, the cost of rural crime is at an eight-year high and costs the UK farming industry and average of £40.5m each year.
While keeping vehicles and equipment out of sight is the most effective way to deter rural crime, making security guidelines and procedures as easy to follow as possible is the best way to encourage farm workers to keep vehicles and equipment secure.
Mul-T-Lock’s eCLIQ is a state-of-the-art access control system that can play a significant role in enabling and preventing access to restricted locations. Acting just like a traditional key system, with its advanced technology and high level of security, eCLIQ can help protect rural properties and assets from theft, vandalism, and other criminal activities.
eCLIQ uses electronic keys and cylinders to control access to buildings and other areas. Each key contains an electronic chip that communicates with the cylinder to unlock doors or gates. The system can be programmed to provide only permitted individuals access, making it an ideal solution for rural properties that need to control access to various areas.
One of the key advantages of eCLIQ is its flexibility. The system can be easily customised to meet the specific needs of each property. For example, it can be programmed to allow access for certain times of day, or to restrict access to certain areas. This makes it an ideal solution for farms, estates, and other rural properties that have multiple buildings and areas to secure.
Another advantage of eCLIQ is its high level of security. The system uses advanced encryption technology to prevent unauthorised access and tampering. Each key is unique and cannot be duplicated, ensuring that only authorised users have access to the property. In addition, the system can be monitored and controlled remotely, providing real-time updates on who has access to the property and when.
Designed to be durable and resistant to harsh weather conditions, eCLIQ is an ideal solution for rural properties that are exposed to the elements. The system is also easy to install and maintain, with no wiring or drilling required.
Overall, eCLIQ is a powerful tool in the fight against rural crime. And it demonstrates how Mul-T-Lock understands the unique security challenges faced by rural property owners and their workforce, with convenient, easy to use systems available for all.
Our UK-wide locksmith network works closely with rural communities to design, develop and implement tailored solutions that address specific needs. Rural property owners may rest easy knowing their assets are secure and protected with cutting-edge access control technology.
