What is perimeter security?
Perimeter security is a term used to define the measures that one can take in order to detect, defend, deter and delay intruders trying to gain access to one’s property. Perimeter security is paramount to protect industrial or commercial properties, critical facilities, or even residential areas. There are a number of ways to implement perimeter security around a property. A few of them are:
- Perimeter fencing
- Electric/Laser fences. These fences have the ability to pinpoint perimeter disturbances, thus making it quicker for the occupants to be alerted to where a potential intrusion is taking place.
- Buried cable detection systems which provide covert perimeter security, detecting the exact location of intruders.
- Closed-loop systems have vibration sensor cables installed at high and low levels on a perimeter fence.
- CCTV to oversee the perimeter.
- Intrusion alarms
- Loitering detection
- Area Masking
- Quad beam detector
Importance of perimeter security
Basic alarms and detection systems are great when it comes to detecting a break-in, but preventing an intrusion before the actual break-in and damage incurred to the property is even better. This is where the real advantage of perimeter security comes into play. With proper perimeter security, one can lay down ‘levels of defense’ around their property which cannot only detect intrusions but also able to help prevent break-ins. Setting up these ‘levels of defense’ serves a dual purpose – a perfect counter mechanism to curb the attempts of thieves, and give ample time to both the owner and nearby residents(in personal properties) and security officials (in commercial and military installations) to take appropriate action.
