Your First Line of Defense
Perimeter protection is usually located on the
exterior and is your first layer if not the only
layer of protection against intrusion, or unauthorized
access to restricted areas. That is why it plays
such an important role in your overall security
and safety.
Although any form of perimeter protection is
better than none at all, a well integrated perimeter
protection solution will not only discourage unauthorized
access to restricted areas, but also provide advanced
alarm notification and even visuals of any intrusion
attempts, thus allowing you to make the best and
quickest informed decisions on how to deal with
threats.
Perimeter intrusion detection systems usually
consist of fence mounted or buried volumetric
and acoustic cables, and microwave sensors. Once
triggered, intrusion information can either be
transmitted to a standalone monitoring station,
or to a networked central command center.

Other perimeter protection systems include vehicle
blockers, turnstiles, gates, protective glass
film, reinforced doors, and reinforced locks.
