What Is Perimeter Security?

A property's perimeter is made up of the areas adjacent to or surrounding it. When it comes to securing this zone, there are many mechanisms that make that protection effective.

A property's perimeter is made up of the areas adjacent to or surrounding it. When it comes to securing this zone, there are many mechanisms that make that protection effective. 

‍

They depend on the type of technology and the size of the area to be protected, which are exactly the variables we work with at HUNTER through our security systems and equipment. 

‍

We can also combine several security systems to provide comprehensive protection. That way, the property and its occupants get more effective protection that stops an incident before it reaches the main property. 

What is perimeter security? 

Perimeter security refers to the control and security mechanisms installed along the perimeter of, or around, a property.  These mechanisms can vary depending on  the specific needs and characteristics of the property and its perimeter. 

Why use perimeter security?

Installing perimeter security equipment and services makes it possible to detect an incident or an intrusion attempt by an unauthorized person in advance. 

‍

As a result, the rest of the security system can prepare and take corrective action to keep it from affecting the property being protected. In other words, it increases the chances of achieving effective protection for a business or home. 

Perimeter security mechanisms

Some of the best perimeter security mechanisms include the following: 

CCTV security cameras

CCTV (closed-circuit television) security cameras are the most efficient mechanism for perimeter security. They use images to detect any type of incident and clearly identify any intruder, and they can be installed at any distance from the property. 

‍

This lets you extend or reduce the perimeter zone depending on the type of business or property that needs protection. Even better, they can be supervised remotely from the HUNTER Monitoring Center. As a result, perimeter security is guaranteed 24/7, all year round. 

Thermal cameras

Thermal cameras are devices that produce images from the infrared radiation and heat emitted by objects and living beings.  

‍

Because of this, they are used to detect intrusions in the dark or in poorly lit areas. They are an excellent tool for large perimeters such as estates, farms, or business and residential complexes. 

Security guards

Security guards are experts at recognizing and detecting anything that puts a perimeter at risk. 

‍

Their presence adds the human factor. They are also usually trained to operate technology such as security cameras, so they can help provide comprehensive security. 

Intrusion sensors

Intrusion sensors are mechanisms triggered by the presence of a living being or object attempting to cross a perimeter's boundaries. When triggered, they activate alarms or other mechanisms that send an alert. 

‍

At HUNTER we offer motion, smoke and temperature sensors that send signals through an alarm system when activated. 

Perimeter security solutions

If you're looking for a perimeter security solution, keep in mind that the best options combine two or more mechanisms. Fortunately, at HUNTER  we can offer you all the main mechanisms, because security is our expertise. 

‍

Our more than 15 years of experience in comprehensive security allow us to identify which ones work best for different types of properties and businesses. 

‍

When it comes to CCTV security cameras, we know how to integrate them with other security tools, and if you choose security guards, you can count on efficient staff management to review the footage.
