Pyronix Are 2023 British Security Awards Winners

Pyronix has won at the British Security Awards 2023 in the ‘Innovative Security Project’ category with their CarDefender; a complete industry-first, combined technology device.

The CarDefender works in conjunction with Pyronix alarm systems when in wireless range of the control panel to deliver instant notification via HomeControl2.0 in the event of attempted theft, it can even raise the house alarm if desired.

British Security Awards

The British Security Awards are held by the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) and ‘celebrate the achievements, acts of bravery and innovations made by members of the UK’s security industry’.

The ‘Innovative Security Project’ award ‘recognizes projects that represent a first for the industry, for a particular market or a new application for an existing security solution’.

Innovative solution

We developed the CarDefender because we saw an opportunity to help combat the rising trend of vehicle theft"

“We developed the CarDefender because we saw an opportunity to help combat the rising trend of vehicle theft. We worked with industry professionals and conducted thorough research to get a proper understanding of the market, and we used these learnings to create a truly innovative solution."

"So, it’s fantastic to receive this award and see this work recognized by the industry in this way,” Laurence Kenny, Marketing Director at Pyronix, said.

Device features

The revolutionary device features three configurable detection modes, triggering for shock, tilt, or if either shock or tilt is detected. It’s a versatile solution offering multiple use cases, including cars, vans, caravans, bikes, motorcycles, and more. 

Vehicle theft takes many forms, such as forced entry or key cloning, so the variety of ways the device can be set up allows installers to tailor the solution to their customers’ requirements.

CarDefender

CarDefender comes with a specially designed, brightly-colored silicone rubber mount

To support its multiple use cases, the CarDefender comes with a specially designed, brightly-colored silicone rubber mount which allows users to attach it to a vehicle’s steering wheel for reliability and visual deterrence, or, for additional installation flexibility, it can be secured with the 3M tape also provided.

Laurence Kenny said, “It’s a brilliant achievement to be recognized for the innovation that goes into our products, especially with the CarDefender."

One-of-a-kind solutions

"Being at the forefront of our industry is a key part of our business and something we set out to achieve with every new product launch, providing one-of-a-kind solutions to installers that also offer something unique to end-users,” adds Laurence Kenny. 

He continued, “We aim to continually support installers in maximizing their sales opportunities to win more business, achieving this through our expanding product portfolio and our business support services, so it’s a real accomplishment to be recognized for doing just that.”
