Perimeter security systems play a key role in protecting buildings, campuses, critical infrastructure and facilities surrounding buildings against unauthorized access and other threats. While fixed barriers such as fences and gates provide a physical infrastructure for perimeter security, they must be supplemented by active perimeter security devices that enable security teams to detect, analyze and respond to any intrusion or other incidents.
A comprehensive perimeter security solution should include security video cameras, perimeter lighting, motion sensors, an alarm system, intrusion detection systems and perimeter access control systems. Businesses should consider both indoor and outdoor perimeter security systems.
Perimeter security is essential to protect industrial plants, utilities, data centers, business parks, commercial campuses, retail parks, warehouses and logistics centers and sites housing critical infrastructure.
However, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. Sites face different threats depending on the nature of their business, location, the size and layout of the perimeter and the volume of people and vehicles accessing the site.
The plan should begin with a physical security risk assessment to identify the type of threats and the areas and elements of the site that represent the greatest vulnerabilities.
A detailed survey of the site, its boundaries, access points and physical features will provide a basis for planning physical barriers such as fences and placement of perimeter security devices and supporting infrastructure.
Equipment selection should be based on performance, reliability and protection against local environmental conditions. Perimeter security cameras should provide the widest coverage with a minimal number of cameras, and perimeter access control systems should combine convenience for employees and visitors with the highest levels of security.
Planning a comprehensive perimeter protection system can be complex. A professional security system specialist can provide expert advice on threat levels and equipment and carry out surveys and detailed planning.
