VandalStop: security for vending
An alarm system that detects impacts on your vending machines and alerts your phone in real time. Less vandalism, fewer repairs and no wasted site visits.
The problem: vandalism is expensive
Vending machines are exposed: knocks, pry attempts and thefts that put the machine out of service.
Repairs cost more than sales
90% of machines suffer damage, and repairing them almost always costs more than the products they sell.
You find out too late
Without an instant alert, the damage is discovered on the next visit: machine down, lost sales and an extra trip.
The solution: detect the hit and alert instantly
An alarm built for vending that watches the machine 24/7 and warns you the moment something goes wrong.
Impact and motion detection
Impact and motion sensors detect knocks and vandalism attempts the moment they happen.
Real-time alert
The mobile app receives the alert instantly, so you can react without waiting for the next visit.
Deterrent alarm
A 6W speaker triggers an audible alarm that stops the vandalism attempt, usually before any damage is done.
24/7 connectivity
Permanently connected to the internet over WiFi or 4G, even where the venue has no network.
