Perimeter Protection

Physical perimeter protection is the first line of defence when it comes to securing premises. The use of walls, fences, doors, gates, barriers, bollards, lockable windows, bars and grilles as physical barriers defines the perimeter of the premises. In addition it creates a deterrent – both physical and psychological – to prevent unauthorised access.

Whilst physical perimeter security is considered an important part of the overall site protection for maximum effect it should be combined with other security measures, such as electronic access control, locking and door control systems, CCTV (closed circuit television), intruder alarm systems and remote monitoring.
