Perimeter Fence Security on steroids – to the power of 8
Boundary walls, jumped by intruders, are the easiest points of access onto your property. For an intruder to never gain access beyond the pavement bordering your property wall, is the best way to keep yourself, family, house and belongings safe and secure. You can also never rely on your neighbours’ perimeter fence security.
Here are 8 great tips to pimp your perimeter walls to prevent illegal access to your property and worse of all harm to yourself and family.
The threat of a very unpleasant shock while trying to jump your wall and touch the electric fence wires should be enough to deter an intruder trying to gain access to your property.
Unfortunately we notice that an electric fence shock alone is not enough to deter determined intruders and they will continue to attempt to slither under the lowest wire. This is where metal security spikes or flat wrap add an extra layer of protection. They make walking on the wall and crawling over the wall more difficult for the intruder.
Even more determined intruders will attempt to avoid the metal security spikes by lifting the wires up using a V shaped stick in order to jump your perimeter wall. Earth loops prevent electric fence wires from being tampered with by setting off an alarm if a wire is moved no more than 2 cm.
An electric fence alarm, preferably linked to your armed response company, will be activated if any of the wires are tampered with, via the earth loops.
Your driveway gate and paedestrian gate are the second most vulnerable point of entry onto your property.
Assuming you have installed gate automation, the obvious accessory to include is an anti theft bracket. This prevents thieves from lifting your gate motor off its rack and thereby easily gaining access to your property. It also obviously prevents theft of your gate motor leaving your driveway literally an easy street to walk down
Anti lift brackets prevent your drive way gate from being lifted vertically in order for it to be lifted off its rail.
A gate alarm is permanently on until a resident uses their remote to open the gate. The remote bypasses this alarm for a set time for the gate to open and close. If the time is expired and the gate is still open the alarm will go off. If the gate is forced open the alarm goes off as well. So without the touch of the residents remote any alteration on the gate will go into alarm. If the gate is kept open for longer than its normal duration which is approximately 30 seconds the alarm goes off. The alarm can be wired into the house alarm system thereby linking armed response.
CCTV allows you to visually see who is lurking outside your driveway gate or on your pavement and next to your boundary wall. It allows you to call in your armed response patrol vehicle to unnerve the potential intruder away from your perimeter fence.
