Shop link

Shepway Lifeline SHOP LINK ensures that traders and their staff, working alone and in potentially dangerous situations, have the reassurance of 24-hour monitoring, support and back-up.

A SHOP LINK alarm takes minutes to install and is activated simply by pressing a small alarm button that can be kept discreetly in the pocket or under the counter.

The choice is yours whether to have an audible warning sound when the alarm is activated, or a silent call through to the Control Centre, where a team of trained operators will respond by alerting the Emergency Services, neighbouring traders, or keyholders as appropriate.

When the alarm has been activated, specialist equipment in the Control Centre enables all activity on the premises to be recorded, ensuring there is a record of any unlawful activity.

SHOPLINK IS:

  • Simple to use, just a press of a button
  • Technology working for you
  • A first class service - BSI Accredited
  • Fully qualified and trained staff
  • Folkestone-based control centre
