Housing associations

Housing association staff are closely involved in the welfare of their tenants. AlertBox technology has an important contribution to make to these tenants' quality of life. An AlertBox network established in Housing association properties promotes a safe and secure environment, increasing residents' peace of mind and raising their morale.

Many incidents that worry or alarm residents are not matters for the police, making any remedial action difficult. With an AlertBox network, a resident can alert neighbours to antisocial behaviour, unwanted callers and other disturbing situations.

As a result, they are in a better position to act positively to retain their privacy and independence, and to pursue their preferred lifestyle.

Because an AlertBox network can easily be established to communicate across a geographical locality, it can help to bridge social divisions and integrate housing estates with the surrounding community.

AlertBox is a cost-effective long-term solution with no rentals or other on-going charges. Operating as part of a stand-alone network that is simple to set up, it makes no additional demands on central administrations, and functions independently of call centres. Essentially, an AlertBox network is a self-help solution for tenants. By empowering residents to take action, AlertBox helps to promote a more cohesive community.

An additional and valuable function is the ability to use AlertBox to call for neighbours' help in an emergency, saving valuable minutes before emergency services arrive.

An AlertBox network may comprise of any number of units from 2 upwards. Whether it's for a block of flats or individual houses, we are able to customise a scheme to meet the individual requirements of any housing association or community. Typical locations for AlertBox units include:
