VAN SECURITY WITH A BITE.

YOUR TOOLS.
YOUR VAN.
OUR PROTECTION.

VANHOUND is being developed to detect drilling, cutting, prying and physical attacks on your van — and alert you before the thief gets inside.

The real threat

TOOL THEFT IS STILL A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

Drilling, cutting and door attacks can cause major damage before a conventional door alarm is triggered. VANHOUND is being developed to recognise the attack itself.

VANHOUND is in development. Detection capabilities and specifications remain subject to prototype testing.

Examples of damage caused during van break-ins
11,273vans reported stolen in the UK in 2024 — about 31 per day.

Advanced protection

DESIGNED FOR REAL-WORLD THREATS.

Rather than waiting for a door to open, the VANHOUND concept uses multiple signals to identify unusual activity around the van and build confidence that a genuine attack may be underway.

DON'T WAIT FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN.

When VANHOUND identifies a potential attack, the goal is to sound a local deterrent and alert your phone quickly, while keeping the system useful even if mobile connectivity is unavailable.
