Interior security systems are great until a sledgehammer comes through a window and suddenly, a group of four intruders are in the living room. What now? Could the intruders have been detected well before they “got to the front window”? Can we get detections that allow a response that moves loved ones to positions of protection and accountability? YES.

Perimeter detection sensors play a crucial role in safeguarding personal and commercial properties, but also smart buildings and campuses by serving as the first line of detection per unauthorized intrusions.  By establishing a virtual barrier around the premises, these systems provide early warning of potential threats, as well as baseline awareness of anomalies (stored for proactive mitigation) allowing security personnel to respond promptly and effectively. Whether it’s a school campus, corporate facility, or residential estate, the perimeter serves as the initial point of contact between the outside world and the protected area. Employing robust perimeter detection measures and processes is paramount for enhancing overall security posture and mitigating risks.

One of the key benefits of perimeter detection is its deterrence effect. Visible security measures such as fences, sensors, lighting, public address, and surveillance cameras send a clear message to would-be intruders that the property is protected and under constant surveillance, and they have been detected. This proactive approach, fueled by BlueforceEDGE IoT sensor fusion, cueing, and orchestration not only discourages unauthorized access but also reduces the likelihood of criminal activity occurring in the first place. Moreover, in the event of a breach attempt, perimeter detection systems can trigger alarms and alerts, allowing a larger distance to threat and deterring intruders from advancing further onto the premises.

Furthermore, Blueforce-enabled perimeter detection systems contribute to a broader and more complete security strategy by complementing other security measures such as safe rooms, access control, process and escalation, and distributed monitoring. Integrating these systems with our patented IoT sensor fusion, cueing, and orchestration sensor and situational platforms enables real-time monitoring and analysis of perimeter breaches, facilitating quick decision-making and coordinated responses.
