Perimeter Security Systems

For Perimeter Security to be effective, it must cover the whole perimeter. Any gaps will soon be discovered and the security breached. For this reason, internal 'traps' are often used in conjunction with perimeter detection for Intruder Alarms and C.C.T.V. Monitoring. Conventional methods of perimeter detection are susceptable to false alarm problems when used outdoors and often require setting up with a very narrow margin for error. Often, 'alarms' cannot be verified and genuine attempts to breach the security can be logged as false alarms. For this reason, Remotely Monitored C.C.T.V. Systems have perhaps not proved to be as effective as many would hope.

Clearly good perimeter detection means early detection and warning which makes it very desirable. What is really required is a perimeter system which provides a substantial deterrent, a physical barrier and reliable detection, which can also be used when sites are operational. This might seem too much to hope for, and until recently it was. But now we can achieve all of this and a lot more!

The introduction of an extremely cost effective perimeter security system (which has been given the highest security rating available) and which deters with a physical and psychological barrier and which also reliably detects any attempts to breach the perimeter represents a major breakthrough in securing yards and compounds etc.

The system is set in a similar way to a conventional intruder alarm system using a code or proximity device. As with any alarm system, a time delay allows for setting and unsetting the system.

Conventional systems require a response or intervention.
PulseSecureTM provides a first line of defence to actually keep intruders out with a Physical and Psychological barrier.

The PulseSecureTM Perimeter Security System

It sounds too good to be true but it’s effective, legal and fully approved and like all the best ideas, its simple and reliable. It's an Electric Fence and it's an Alarm System. The PulseSecureTM system sends high voltage pulses along the conductors of the fence giving a painful but harmless shock to anyone coming into contact with it. The intruder would be repelled but this alone would not generate an alarm which prevents nuisance and unidentifiable alarms. However, any attempt to cut the fence or interfere with it would cause the system to generate an alarm. The system can interface with most types of equipment to provide a local audible or remote alarm. PulseSecureTM can be fitted to most types of existing host fences, it can be used as a wall topping, or as a stand alone fence within existing boundaries. It can even be used to form a secure compound within your premises on a permanent or temporary basis.

The effective application of PulseSecureTM makes it extremely cost effective and it can be used on its own, in conjunction with guards on site or it can be remotely monitored using either conventional alarm monitoring or CCTV.

Problems with theft often occur (particularly when a site is operational) which cannot be identified as internal or external. With the PulseSecureTM system in place, internal thefts cannot be blamed on intrusion from the outside.

Where a security guard is deployed on site, CCTV can be used to verify any intrusion. The system can also be configured (with suitable equipment installed) to allow a guard to view the incident which generated the alarm. Even a large site can be guarded effectively by one person. Without the need for patrols, the guard can be secure in a locked office and with the right disciplines introduced such as carrying out ‘patrols’ with PTZ cameras, the guards performance can also be monitored. Any reduction in the number of guards deployed on site quite clearly represents massive savings when compared to the cost of providing a PulseSecureTM system integrated with CCTV and with leasing readily available, the cost benefits can be reaped immediately.

REMOTE MONITORING

If an alarm is generated, this could be monitored in the same way as an Intruder Alarm or CCTV pictures can be monitored remotely by a specialist monitoring service. The operator would see the image on screen from the camera covering the specific area of the fence (or any other alarm source). With the right equipment installed on site, he or she would also be able to view that area just before, during and after the alarm was generated in order to establish the exact cause of the alarm and take appropriate action.

Companies with more than one premises could set up their own remote monitoring using one site or head office to monitor their other sites.

PulseSecureTM F.A.Q's.

        Is it SAFE?

        Is it LEGAL?

        Is it APPROVED?

        How much electricity does it use?

        What happens if there is a power cut?

        How is it switchen on and off?

Safety

PulseSecureTM is safe because it uses low energy pulses which meet the following criteria:

    It operates on less than 10,000 Volts

    The pulse duration is less than 300 millionths of a second

    The interval between pulses is greater than one second

    The total energy does not exceed 5 joules

    The design criteria specifies precautions against accidental contact

    The design criteria also includes other specific safety precautions

Following this formula provides a short, sharp, regulated, safe but painful shock which is harmless and repels intruders. All installations are carried out to the Harper Chalice Group Code of Practice with safety checks carried out and a Certificate of Compliance issued.

Legality

PulseSecureTM is legal because:

    It meets the safety criteria above

    It complies with BS1772 Part 17 (the British Standard for Electric Security Fences)

    It complies with all Energisers and Safety Equipment complies with BSEN60335

    It meets National safety and CE requirements

    Internationally recognised warning signs are properly displayed

    It is permissible 'to use reasonable force' to protect your property

The system is designed and installed to a code of practice in such a way that persons would only come into contact with the conductors deliberately, by trying to gain illegal access to the premises or when trying to damage the fence.

Approvals

PulseSecureTM has been awarded the coveted 'Secured by Design' award. It has also achieved the highest level (SEAPS 4) which means it can be used for securing Military Establishments, Prisons and Royal Palaces etc.

Power Consumption

PulseSecureTM consumes a minimal amount of power, similar to an Intruder Alarm System or a TV on stand by.

Power Cuts

PulseSecureTM is equipped with stand by batteries which automatically re-charge, again similar to an Intruder Alarm System. The system will operate without mains power for a minimum of ten hours with a healthy battery.

Switching it On and Off

PulseSecureTM is SET and UNSET in the same way as a conventional Intruder Alarm System. Entering the code (or using an optional proximity tag) within the protected area starts the exit timer and a warning sound is emitted. Simply close and lock the gates, wait for the final setting to be confirmed and leave. To enter the premises, unlock the gates and the entry timer will start and the warning tone will be heard. The system must be switched off before the entry time expires or a full alrm condition will be generated.
