| Current trends in perimeter security |

Perimeter security is made up of many different parts. Fences and gates provide barriers, and video surveillance cameras can help monitor a perimeter. However, the use of different types of sensors, from fence sensors to buried sensors to motion sensors, plays a vital role in the effectiveness of a perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS).
Based on figures from a report by MarketsandMarkets, the overall global perimeter security market is expected to grow from approximately US$14 billion in 2015 to US$20.3 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 7.6 percent — this includes technologies, such as microwave sensors, infrared sensors, radar sensors and fiber-optic sensors.
The challenges of deploying perimeter sensing technology depend on the application and requirements. “One of the key challenges in deploying perimeter sensing technology is ensuring that the appropriate detection solutions are specified for a particular application.
“Buyers should also be aware of the history of the manufacturers they are choosing,” Weese advised. “The development of an effective outdoor sensor requires both experience to understand the conditions the sensors face and verification time to ensure the sensor performs in these conditions.”
Technologically speaking, making technology easier to use is something tech companies are always striving for. The easier a system is to use, the more people will want to use it. This trend is one that carries over into perimeter security.
“Many installations now combine indoor and outdoor PIR technology, where external PIR technology is used as a ‘pre-warning’ to the internal system,” Alex explained. “The external PIR may trigger lights or sound, for example, as an initial deterrent and warning to the user. If the internal system is triggered after the external, then the user can be confident that the alert is real and take appropriate action.”
Integration in video surveillance has become a necessity; in perimeter security, it is also important that sensor technologies can integrate with third-party solutions such as video management software (VMS) or PSIM applications.
Whatever it is that drives end users to deploy perimeter sensors, it is important to remember that the sensors are only one part of a larger perimeter security system. Seeking the help of expert, knowledgeable installers and integrators is the sure-fire way of ensuring that the sensors you choose are maximizing your security investment.
