Hi, I'm looking for any information regarding ARC's in Cyprus.

I'm looking to move over there in a couple of years and start a security company. I've looked at some of the equipment and prices being paid for very poor installations and feel we are further advanced in Britain.

IP signals would be too unreliable I feel, plus from the research I have done, the level 1 responce could be different to ours.

I'd be looking for an ARC to take on vision systems aswel as intruder but Im not sure how advanced they are and reliable. I've run the idea of setting up but may over complicate an already risky venture.

Anybody got any advice?

Don't bother getting involved with anything that would cost money

A few years ago a company installed speed cameras.

They caught hundreds of motorists.

Then the authorities discovered that the Police had to personally hand deliver every speeding ticket.

The result

The system was scrapped, leaving the company that installed them unpaid. 

 

Unrelated but....

During a recent water shortage they ordered a tanker full of water from Greece

When the ship docked the pipe was to short to offload it.

By the time they sorted the problem, the water was undrinkable.

 

And there's more.............

 

Cyprus a beautiful place to live and visit, I love it, but business NO !

 

You could earn a living off ex-pats though, but after the recent bail-out, who knows.

I 'am glad I had no savings there.
