To Protect Your Campus Perimeter

Perimeters of buildings and grounds can vary significantly, from suburban areas with open space surrounded only by trees and landscaping to schools with fences or to urban environments bordered by sidewalks, roadways and parking lots. Technology for protecting these facilities varies as widely as the perimeters themselves, but the key to detecting and stopping intruders before they gain entry is an integrated security solution.

The technology at the heart of an integrated security solution should be able to accept alarms from various devices, such as glassbreak and beam detectors, surveillance cameras and more, and use those alarms to trigger actions that focus the attention of security personnel or the central station monitoring the facility.

Some of the latest security control panels provide this level of integration, as well as advanced programming capabilities that enhance perimeter security. These control panels enable campuses to select customized perimeter security solutions for their facilities.

For high-security areas, the first line of perimeter defense is often photoelectric beam detectors installed to either surround the entire facility or to cover entry points, such as a gate that is closed and locked during off hours. These detectors serve as an early warning system, activating an alarm when an intruder passes within the direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver, breaking the invisible infrared beam.

More sophisticated beam detectors will be able to discriminate environmental disturbances from actual intruders by monitoring the gradual loss of a signal due to dust, fog, rain or snow. Detectors with multiple beams can be configured to cause an alarm when all beams are blocked or when only some of the beams are blocked. This configuration helps in detecting smaller objects and eliminates the possibility of someone crawling through the beam.

Let’s delve deeper into some additional technology applications that are helping meet the security, and oftentimes the budgetary, needs of end-users.
