Keeping unauthorized intruders from entering a business location is a critical part of protecting corporate assets. Perimeters are the first line of defense but do not conform to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ safeguarding solution. Selection criteria for the most suitable Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) must take into consideration perimeter length, topography, environmental conditions, and future site expansion plans.
In many cases, fencing or walls are adequate deterrents. Other times, more sophisticated intrusion detection systems, such as security cameras, thermal energy detectors, sensors, and other tracking and recording devices are required. In these scenarios, the data recorded by these field devices need to be transmitted in real-time over a network to a communication control room.
