Electric Perimeter Protection
As eighty percent of break-ins occur through windows, doors and skylights, perimeter protection is the first line of defence against an intruder. It is essential to provide electric perimiter protection to the openings and entry points of a building, including windows, doors, skylights and vents. Additionally, electronic security such as electric fencing can be an effective and cost competitive alternative to expensive static guards.

Using a light source and a receiving element sensitive to change in light intensity, an alarm will signal when an intruder interrupts the invisible beam. Ranging up to 1000 feet, photoelectric beams not only respond to moving objects but also motionless human-like objects can be detected. A line of vertical photoelectric beams can also be produced to create a fence-like protection, as single beams can be walked around.

The Signature Security Power Fence system comprises a grid of alloy wire (2mm) about 90mm apart on 2.4 metre intermediate posts. The application piggybacks on existing cyclone fencing or other types of existing perimeter fencing. This electronic security works by a pulse being sent down the fence line every 1.2 seconds, thus checking on the security of your perimeter 50 times a minute. This information is fed back to an alarm panel via the energiser which can then report to the Signature Security monitoring station. Intruders who come into contact with the electronic security fence receive a short, sharp, harmless but memorable shock and are deterred from entering the property. The Signature Security security power fence has protected the property prior to the offender even entering the property. Benefits of this electronic security include: no false alarms, legal and safe, proven reliability, discreet appearance, inexpensive to install, and cheap to run (the equivalent of a 40 Watt light globe).The Signature Power Fence meets the 4 "D's" of perimeter protection;
DETERS - would be intruders with a short, sharp, regulated safe but painful shock
DENIES - unauthorised access
DEFENDS - Provides an active inner electronic security barrier through which any would be intruder would have to pass to achieve their goal
DETECTS - Alarms are generated the instant the Signature Security Power Fence is tampered with.
