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. Sensors can also be easily blocked, accidently or deliberately. 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.

Your questions answered;
Safety
PulseSecureTM is safe because it uses low energy pulses which meet the following criteria:
It operates on less than 10,000 Volts
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:
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 alarm condition will be generated.
1/ Transport/Logistics Yard
We first discovered PulseSecureTM when we were seeking a solution to a very serious problem one of our customers was experiencing. Despite having CCTV cameras and a guard on site 24hrs, up to six seperate attacks every weekend on curtain sided trailors inside a walled yard were occuring. The target was sports wear and electrical goods. The deployment of a second guard with a dog reduced this to around one attack per weekend.
We installed a PulseSecureTM system as a wall topping (replacing existing razor wire) and in the eight years since it was installed the only incident reported and captured on CCTV was a man climbing on the wall and grabbing the fence to see if it was live. The CCTV images showed by his reaction that it really was! No doubt the word was spread quickly around.
2/ Transport Yard
A customer had leased a yard and warehouse at a strategic location to compliment their existing sites. Their head of security was tasked with finding a cost effective solution to secure the yard before they moved in as it previously had a poor record of break-ins. He looked into the cost of deploying a Security Guard and the amounts quoted were prohibitive.
We installed a PulseSecureTM system to the existing paliside fence which was remoetly monitored together with a CCTV system complete with remote video monitoring facilities. The fence proved so successfull the remote monitoring for the CCTV was never commissioned saving the substantial monitoring charges.
The system was leased (lease purchase) over five years so the immediate cost savings against using a security guard 24 hrs a day amounted to a massive £1,000 plus per month.
3/ Storge Compound for Vehicles
This compound was used for the storage of impounded vehicles on behalf of the police that had been involved in accidents and incidents. It had a perimeter wall constructed of double thickness concrete blocks around three metres high. We installed a PulseSecureTM system as a wall topping and also to the gates. The system was remotely monitored utilising Redcare.
Some of the vehicles no doubt had incriminating evidence concealed within so their owners were sometimes willing to go to great lengths to try and gain access to them. Several attempts to breach the system failed with minor damage to the system. Eventually, the perimeter was breached by smasing a hole in the wall (double thickness concrete block) with a sledge hammer. We subsequently installed a vibration wire around the perimeter wall which was linked to the Redcare system and which proved false alarm free as we were able to use very low sensitivity settings.
On the face of it, the PulseSecureTM system proved more effective than a double thickness concrete wall.
