Perimeter security aims to protect people and assets within a property and its grounds from intruders by blocking unauthorised physical intrusions across its boundary.
These can both be physical barriers, including bollards, gates and fences, and technological solutions that can detect intruders and alert property owners when a perimeter has been breached.
Perimeter security is important for large private and commercial properties, school grounds, event venues as well as important infrastructure such as power plants.
Perimeter intrusion detection
Detecting intruders when they breach your perimeter, before they reach your main buildings or assets, via robust external detectors means alerts can be set up raising an audible alarm or sending a notification to a mobile device. This means action can be taken to stop intruders, or indeed they may be deterred from attempting a break-in.
This type of solution is called a perimeter intruder detection system (PIDS), and works effectively when the latest physical barriers are combined with advanced surveillance and security technology.
Surveillance Cameras and video analytics
Advanced surveillance cameras with video analytics can support the protection of your perimeter. This is particularly useful for properties with large grounds or extensive boundary fencing. Bullet cameras can be installed along fences or walls so that intruders can be detected. The latest surveillance cameras are embedded with advanced analytics providing the ability to detect people crawling.
Meanwhile pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras are ideal if you have a large site with wide-open spaces, that include areas such as car parks or sports pitches. These allow you to capture wide angle views while powerful zoom functions mean you can also view long-distance images. If you select IR models for your cameras you will be able to see footage more clearly even in poor light conditions.
Effective Access Control supports perimeter security
At the perimeter of your property effective access control systems can be installed through entry systems at gates or via bollard entry systems. This allows you to have an effective method of authorising access to the right people but also of restricting access to the wrong people.
A combination of security and access control systems offer an effective way to provide perimeter protection.
We offer a range of solutions that can give you peace of mind that you are effectively protecting the perimeter of your property. For more information and to arrange a site survey of your property so all options can be considered please contact us.
