Videcon's Guide to Martyn's Law
|
Martyn’s Law, formally known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, marks a significant step forward in the UK’s approach to public safeguarding. Named in honour of Martyn Hett, one of the 22 victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, the legislation is designed to ensure that venues and public spaces take proactive steps to protect the public from potential terrorist threats. The Act was campaigned for by Martyn’s mother, Figen Murphy, and finally gained Royal Assent, becoming law on April 3rd, 2025. |

Product Focus
AJAX EN54 Line
Are you ready to lead the revolution?
Meet the EN54 series from AJAX systems, a fully wireless compliant fire detection and alarm eco-system built for the modern installer.
This line-up includes 15 devices plus 3 accessories, all centred around the versatile EN45 fire hub jeweller control unit, which runs on the same platform as their intrusion systems. That means it can integrate intrusion detection, fire safety, automation and video surveillance within a single system, using the Ajax app and ecosystem. Ideal for commercial and municipal projects ranging from schools and hospitals to business centres and heritage sites.
For installers, the benefits are clear:
- Fast Deployment
- Effortless Scaling
- Intuitive Maintenance
Gone are the days of complex cabling and lengthy set-ups; any EN54 line device can be installed in minutes and configured through Ajax’s mobile or desktop apps, whether you’re on-site or remote. The streamlined commissioning process and real-time control translate into reduced installation costs, quick handovers and significantly improved responsiveness.
Uniview CCTV
Uniview’s expanded Prime Series is now available at Videcon, introducing a powerful new line-up of turret cameras designed to give installers greater flexibility across commercial and high-security projects. From Tri-Guard 1.0+ and Tri-Guard 3.0 models through to advanced OwlView Plus variants, this refreshed range delivers full-colour night vision, AI-powered smart intrusion alerts and active deterrence features, all built into rugged IP67/IK10 housings and available in both 4MP & 8MP* options (White/Black)*.
With options spanning fixed-lens and motorised zoom, dual-light technology, edge recording and smart scene analysis, the Prime series allows installers to tailor protection to any environment, whether that’s retail parks, campuses, critical infrastructure or high-risk sites.
These cameras bring impressive performance without added complexity, helping you deliver smarter, faster and more proactive security systems across every installation.
