PatrolGuard News: June 2026

We hear this all the time... 


One of the most common things we hear from business owners and landlords is: “But we have a Ring doorbell.” 


When it comes to your building being truly secure, a security doorbell isn’t enough. 


These doorbells can: 


  • Show you live video of your front door or premises 
  • Sends alerts when someone comes near 
  • Let you talk to visitors through your phone 


But they can’t: 


  • Physically stop someone breaking in 
  • Cover the whole property 
  • Work without Wi-Fi 

 

At PatrolGuard, our team will be dispatched to your site, can reset the alarm if required, will inspect the property and take any further action, including involving police if needed.

How did you cope with the heatwave at the end of May? 


The bank holiday weekend brought unprecedented temperatures – but the weather wasn’t the only thing breaking records. 


On Monday 25 May, we had our record number of callouts in a 12-hour shift – 19 individual calls with one site experiencing 32 separate alarm activations! 


During hot weather, we often see an increase in activations due to electrical malfunctions or insects flying around the sensors. 


At best, it’s a nuisance and, at worst, it’s a nightmare. Get covered today and avoid getting caught out in our next heatwave!

To be or not to be (secure!) 


Are you based in or around Stratford-upon-Avon? 


Shakespeare’s hometown is a honeypot for business, culture and tourism, making it incredibly desirable – but also a target for chancers. 


Our recent article takes you through each of the ways PatrolGuard can support organisations in and around Stratford. 


Take a look.

Taking action 


When your building is closed and everyone's gone home, you want to know that everything is safe. 


Earlier this year, we responded to reports of people trespassing in a student accommodation building and causing minor damage to the property. 

Our patrol team visited the site every two to three hours, with zero activity reported since. Plus, our work resulted in arrests being made.
