Security threats and breaches continue to escalate and increase, making enterprises across all industry sectors vulnerable to risks. For industrial sites, the ramifications of a security breach can be especially devastating. They often house sensitive assets, including critical infrastructure – all of which demand robust security protections. Perimeter detection solutions rank as their first line of defense and deliver several significant benefits.
These security technologies deter unauthorized people from accessing the site; they provide early detection of threats to safeguard people and property and help in meeting the security requirements these sites need to maintain for regulatory compliance.
The fence line is where deterrence and detection begin. And while a good, strong, old-fashioned fence is in itself a deterrent, when equipped with a fence detection system, a fence becomes much more than just a physical barrier. It can detect and send an alert if someone attempts to cut or climb the fence to gain access to the site.
Fence sensors are becoming a solution of choice not only for their detection capabilities, but for their cost-effectiveness, as well. Designed to detect any physical disruptions or intrusions on the fence line, they use various mechanisms such as vibration detection so security personnel can be immediately notified of a potential breach. Low installation and maintenance costs are making them an attractive choice for a range of properties, including large-scale industrial sites. And because they’re versatile, they’re easily adapted to a variety of fences, including chain-link, wrought iron, and wooden fences. When would-be intruders see that a fence is safeguarded with sensors, they know that they’re attempting to breach a monitored and highly secure perimeter and are discouraged from trying to gain access.
NextGen partners with leading technology manufacturers to provide the highest level of detection. Our perimeter fencing capabilities deliver needed peace of mind to industrial site operators. These detection systems can identify the exact location where an attempted breach is occurring. Highly compatible, fence sensors can be integrated easily with existing security systems. Working in tandem with these other physical security measures, such as outdoor lighting and video surveillance cameras, the detection system will trigger an alarm to security personnel in the event of an actual breach. Surveillance video will provide the visual verification response teams need to respond swiftly and appropriately.
Fence detection systems are offering industrial sites an efficient and effective layer of perimeter security and playing a pivotal part in protecting industrial sites. Call NextGen to learn more about how we can elevate security at your industrial site.
