Interconnective

Interconnective: security equipment for the UK market since 1999

Interconnective is a UK-based supplier of security equipment that states it has been equipping the country's security industry since 1999. The company presents itself as working with the country's biggest companies and best equipment manufacturers, and its catalogue spans protective clothing, surveillance devices, patrol management technology and search tools. It describes its range as the UK's widest selection of security equipment.

Beyond straightforward supply, the company indicates that it offers warranty advice, servicing and repairs for many of its products. It is based in the UK and delivers through domestic carriers, with international shipping available if required.

Body armour and stab vests

The protective range includes covert and overt stab vests, with several models certified to Home Office KR1 and SP1 protection levels. Among them are the Fortis Covert Stab Vest, built with a proprietary aramid fibre construction and described as bendable and low-detection armour, and the Fortis Zip-Front Stab Vest, a flexible soft armour with adjustable shoulders and sides, two large utility pockets and removable lapels, made in the United Kingdom with a five-year manufacturer's warranty.

The catalogue also lists the VestGuard Zip-Front Stab Vest, made in the UK with a five-year protection guarantee and a one-year carrier warranty, and the PPSS Navy Blue Overt Stab Vest, made from a carbon fibre shell with NIJ 0115.00 certification to threat level 1, a ten-year warranty on panels and a panel replacement scheme. The company notes that special sizes and customisation options, including badges, high-visibility strips and KlickFast docks, are available on request.

Body-worn cameras

Interconnective stocks body-worn video cameras aimed at security officers, law enforcement and door supervisors. The Partner MK4 is presented as a UK brand device with recording up to 1440p, 32-megapixel still photos, AES256 encryption, a 140-degree wide-angle lens, infrared and low-light functionality, and a battery offering up to 12 hours of recording at 1080p. It ships with software, a KlickFast stud, a crocodile clip, a solo dock and a cable, and the company notes it is not compatible with Mac.

Other models in the range include the Elog X4, a lower-cost personal camera with 1516p recording, 64 GB storage, a 2-inch screen, infrared night vision and an IP65 rating, made in China with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty, and the Pinnacle PR7, which records up to 1440p across three selectable models with AES256 encryption.

Patrol and guard tour systems

The patrol management line is built around The Partner system, offered in several bundles. The Partner Online Guard Tour Patrol System – Marine 2 Bundle combines a rugged Oscal Marine 2 mobile handset with 20 epoxy metal-shielded NFC tags, a one-year licence and one year of remote support; the licence is annual and must be renewed. The system covers real-time guard tour monitoring, proof of presence, incident report and form generation, task and duty management, lone worker safety, audit trails and remote handset control.

A second option, The Partner Online Guard Tour System – No Handset Bundle, includes mobile handset installation and configuration, a digital daily occurrence book, secure asset tracking and issue control, and security officer attendance monitoring, again with a one-year licence, remote support and 20 tags.

For organisations preferring a classic checkpoint device, the company offers The Partner Professional Patrol System in Robust and Utility bundles. Both include a recorder, a docking station, 20 patrol points and Interconnective software, and are developed in South Africa with a two-year manufacturer's warranty. The Robust version adds a physical shock sensor and an LED notification tail light.

Search equipment, radios and perimeter security

The catalogue extends to search and screening tools: search wands, metal detectors, walkthrough metal detectors, search mirrors, search randomisers and security X-ray scanners. It also covers two-way radios and walkie-talkies with their earpieces, headsets, chargers, batteries and antennas, alongside torches and lighting, anti-climb spikes and paint for perimeter security, and uniform accessories such as reflective security badges, notebooks, logbooks and police handcuffs.

Product support and purchasing

Interconnective positions itself as more than an equipment supplier, pointing to warranty advice, servicing and repairs across many of its products. The catalogue lists items with prices in pounds sterling including VAT, and the company invites enquiries by telephone for guidance on choosing between patrol system models, sizing advice and customisation of body armour.
