Different types of perimeter protection & detection systems: Alarm and intruder detection systems
To offer complete protection for a site’s perimeter, the security alarm system can be designed to incorporate:
- Infrared beams – An invisible beam which will ‘alarm’ when broken
- Passive Infrared Sensors – Detecting motion around the external perimeter
In the event of the system being triggered, further integrations can be built into the system such as audio intervention, allowing the monitoring station to communicate with the intruder. Security lighting can also be deployed, in addition to the alarm siren to stop the intruder in their tracks.
Your security team will be able to pinpoint exactly where the attempted breach has occurred, allowing them to notify the relevant authorities. Where the perimeter alarm system is integrated with PTZ cameras, those viewing your camera footage will be able to track the intruder.

Types of perimeter protection & detection: CCTV monitoring & ANPR
Effective perimeter protection and detection systems have one clear objective. To ensure the site perimeter is secure and the risk of breaches are minimal.
To offer complete protection for a site’s perimeter, the detection system can be designed to incorporate:
- CCTV Monitoring – 24/7 remote security monitoring, helping to reduce the cost of physical guards, and optimise security
- PIR sensors and beams – once triggered, the intruder will be under surveillance and the monitoring station notified
- Illuminators and security lighting. Illuminators can be deployed to promote effective perimeter protection. Some CCTV systems are fitted with strobe lighting to act as an effective deterrent
- Video Analytics – human movement detection in low light
- Thermal CCTV – in low-light situations, where security lighting isn’t a viable option intruders can be detected through their body heat
- ANPR CCTV cameras – tracking and logging vehicle number plates, helping to spot known threats
Furthermore, these detection systems can incorporate ANPR technology, to store the number plates of all vehicles.
The commercial benefits of perimeter protection and detection systems
The key benefits of perimeter protection and detection systems are:
- Strong deterrent and an extra layer of protection for your site
- Maintain revenue and operational continuity
- Protect valuable assets and equipment
- Integrate with alarm monitoring and police response
- Deter criminals with security lighting
- Opportunity for multiple integrations – video analytics, thermal CCTV, remote monitoring
