Enhancing security with perimeter lighting for your premises

Perimeter lighting is a crucial component in modern security strategies, serving as a powerful force multiplier that significantly enhances the safety and protection of any premises. Effective perimeter lighting deters potential intruders, enhances visibility and supports security personnel in maintaining a secure environment.

Why perimeter lighting matters:

• Deterrence: Well-lit perimeters discourage unauthorised access by increasing the risk of detection. Intruders are less likely to target properties with effective lighting, as it reduces their ability to approach unnoticed.
• Visibility: Enhanced lighting improves visibility for security personnel and surveillance systems, making it easier to identify and respond to suspicious activities. This also aids in the safe navigation of the property for authorised individuals.
• Support for security systems: Perimeter lighting works synergistically with other security measures such as cameras and motion detectors to create a comprehensive security network. It ensures these systems operate optimally by providing necessary illumination.

Perion’s proprietary lighting system

Perion has developed a state-of-the-art perimeter lighting system that stands out for its efficiency and ease of installation.

Key features of Perion’s system include:

• Unbroken light barrier: The system provides an uninterrupted light barrier extending up to 1 000 metres from a single supply point. This continuous illumination is vital for maintaining a secure perimeter without dark spots that intruders could exploit.
• Simple installation: Perion’s system features lights that are crimped onto an illumination cable, simplifying the installation process. This ease of setup ensures even those with minimal technical skills can effectively secure their premises.
• Built-in alarm system: Security is enhanced with a built-in alarm output that activates in the event of a cable cut (even when the lights are off) or power outage. This immediate alert ensures any breaches or technical issues are promptly addressed, maintaining the integrity of the security system.
• Wireless communication: The system’s advanced wireless communication capability allows it to send alerts over a 10km range to a base station. This base station can seamlessly integrate with third-party security systems, ensuring comprehensive coverage and real-time response.

In summary, Perion’s perimeter lighting system not only provides robust and continuous illumination but also integrates sophisticated alarm and communication features to enhance overall security. By choosing Perion, you are investing in a reliable, efficient and easy-to-install solution that significantly fortifies your premises against potential threats.
