If you’re hoping to protect high dollar equipment or keep people at a distance from high-security areas that contain sensitive information, you need quality perimeter security.
Unfortunately, many companies believe a simple fence will get the job done. In most cases, a fence alone isn’t enough. While they do have their place in offering security, their protection level isn’t always sufficient to do the job.
At Security Alarm Company, one of our specialties is ensuring you have the right perimeter protection system to have adequate perimeter security.
More About Perimeter Security
Perimeter security also referred to as perimeter protection, is a security solution utilizing technology to secure a property’s perimeter or site from unauthorized access.
Generally speaking, perimeter security is exactly what you‘d think — security fencing and gates. However, advanced technology takes it a step further to integrate additional barriers giving you added protection and security against intrusion.
This level of protection works seamlessly with access control and video surveillance as well.
3 Types of Perimeter Security

Infrared Light Beam Detectors
A device is mounted on one end of a fence row, and the other is mounted at the opposite end. When the devices are activated, an infrared light connects the two ends creating the invisible light beam. If someone or something walks through a light beam, the alarm is tripped, alerting authorities of the breach.
Benefits:
- With several light beams along each fence line, it drastically decreases someone’s chances of making it onto your property.

Capturing intruders on camera is imperative for perimeter protection. The latest in video technology now allows video surveillance to only send alerts when it distinguishes that the motion is from a Human or a Vehicle. You can utilize this enhanced video technology independently of any other system or incorporate it with your other perimeter protection systems for added security.
