INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN PARKING BOLLARDS: ADVANCING SECURITY MEASURES
There can be no denying that car theft is becoming a significant problem in the UK. New data released by the Home Office in the autumn of 2023 highlighted how 107,451 car thefts were closed by the police in June 2023 without the perpetrator being identified – this represents a 20 per cent increase on the previous year. Broken down yet further, these statistics mean that three out of every four car thefts went unsolved, and just 4 per cent resulted in the perpetrator being charged.
Home and business owners have a stark decision to make when it comes to protecting their vehicles. While there is little they can do in the short term to change policing policy at the governmental level, more and more people are seeking out a bollard post installation cost for their properties. By taking matters into their own hands, they can be better assured that their cars are protected against the increase in car crimes.

If you are looking to install bollards on your commercial premises or private driveway, the design and technology that drives bollard manufacture and installation these days have advanced considerably to enhance security measures for vehicle owners.

Telescopic Bollard Installation Cost
For both a practical and aesthetic parking lot bollard installation solution, telescopic bollards are ideal. Traditional installation is a more cost-effective start for those on a smaller budget or for whom daily comings and going are less frequent, with minimal access requirements.
However, in locations where there is frequent daily traffic, either in a busy household, a private car park or a commercial car lot, an automatic retractable system built into the telescopic board installation cost will enable authorised users to access and exit the premises regularly, safe in the knowledge that the vehicles held beyond the barriers are protected.
Similar systems are also ideal if you want to protect an area against vehicles gaining unauthorised access to areas where they have no permit or permission, such as pedestrian areas in town centres and private car parks.
Smart Technology for Better Surveillance
Until recently, closed circuit surveillance systems were the domain of commercial premises that had the funds to place cameras across their sites. With the availability today of smart technology such as Ring cameras and motion sensors that can be purchased online and installed using simple instructions.
Combined with your telescopic or folding bollard installation, you can rest assured with much greater certainty that the security of your vehicle, or vehicles, is much greater. It also creates an impenetrable barrier that no thief could break through, no matter how hard they tried; not only can you watch any attempt in real-time so that you can call it to the police, but any attempt is also digitally captured.
Integration with ANPR
For commercial and private car parks and public spaces, combining parking lot bollard installation with ANPR Automatic Number Plate Recognition systems creates a fast, efficient, and failsafe solution to spaces where there is heavy hourly traffic and multiple authorised users.
ANPR systems are used extensively by car parking firms as a way of controlling the violation of car parks being used by vehicles that either do not pay or have no permission to be there. If you decide to install bollards as an additional security measure, you can rest assured that not only is your car park protected against this violation, but it can also be used as a means of preventing exit by potential thieves.
