Magpie Security Ltd provides security services across the UK for a wide range of sectors, including housing developments, construction, and large-scale infrastructure.
Magpie Security consistently invests in high-performing security technology. One of their recent game-changing additions has been the Reconeyez SIM – a smart, hassle-free SIM solution designed specifically for Reconeyez systems.
Challenge
Magpie Security frequently deploys security systems across construction and development sites and has previously faced issues with unreliable connectivity and cumbersome SIM management. The lack of flexibility and network access experienced with traditional SIMs could increase the risk of potential security blind spots. They also increased the administrative burden due to managing IAS SIM tokens or credit-based systems.
Solution – Reconeyez SIM
Reconeyez SIM offered Magpie Security exactly what it needed:
- Effortless setup – “plug and play” integration
- Reliable multi-network connectivity – no single-network lock-in
- Hands-off SIM management – activation happens automatically
- Cost efficiency – billing only for active time periods
- Unlimited traffic – freedom to use system features without extra charges
Magpie Security took full advantage of the Reconeyez SIMs, retrofitting them into their Reconeyez Bridges across several UK-based residential construction projects
Customer testimonial
“We’ve used the Reconeyez SIMs across five different projects so far – all housing developments, ranging in size from smaller sites of five to upwards of twenty homes. Some of the projects are smaller, but they risk being targeted by thieves – especially when sites are unattended. Security is essential, no matter the size of the job.
Integrating the Reconeyez SIMs into our existing hardware was really straightforward – actually easier than standard SIM cards. It was literally plug and play. They’ve been more reliable than the SIMs we used before. The key benefit is that they aren’t locked to a single network. They can jump between networks, which means we’ve had fewer connectivity issues. Before, we were being limited by IAS credit or tokens, but the Reconeyez SIMs have worked perfectly from the start.
We use a range of Reconeyez’ hardware – cameras, sirens, and bridges. We also use the Sentinel Wireless Security System, the PID (Perimeter Intrusion Detection) device. We’re deploying Reconeyez solutions across projects of all sizes, most recently on a large-scale £100 million project, which is a university student village, where we’ve got around 35 cameras running.
All our sites are monitored. The online monitoring platform is very easy to use and allows us to report back to the client on site. We feed information back to the lads on the ground to let them know what’s going on – whether there’s any suspicious activity or if we need to call the police.
We’ve invested heavily in Reconeyez’ kit and have been using it for years. On the rare occasions we’ve had questions or needed to resolve something, the service has been excellent. The team at Reconeyez have always been helpful and responsive.”
