Hello RCD readers,

Welcome to our voted themed OG RCD article post. This is maybe a four or five

blog post. In this article you’ll have a really short intro of the four levels of security

systems.
-           The definition
-           Inexpensive safety tips
-           Alarm systems
-           Camera systems

Levels of  Security Systems:

“In order to prevent theft, burglary and robbery it is good to implemented

protection of objects in four areas. The surrounding outer protection, protective

outer barrier, inner protective barrier and internal security”

Level 1: Perimeter Protection Security System (FENCE)

Level 2: Middle Area Protection Security System (YARD)

Level 3: Inner Perimeter Protection Security System (WALLS)

Level 4: Internal Security System (INSIDE HOUSE)

Level 1: Perimeter Protection Security System (FENCE)

Definition:

Perimeter Protection Security System is the first level. This level of security specifies

only house fences. We are talking about tips that you as home owner can do to 

protect you from burglars climbing over your house fences and entering your yard.

Inexpensive safety tips:

Don’t provide a hiding place
•       If possible use see-through fences. This makes it easier for you to see if uninvited guests are in front of your fence.
•       Don’t put anything including plants behind your fences to block your sight.
•       Make sure every part of your fence is perfectly lighted so you can still see an uninvited guests in front your fence.
 

Hard to climb over
•       The fence has to be at least 8 feet tall  (Check the height that is allowed first)
•       Use spiny plants inside of your fences
•       Put the least as possible horizontal rails.
•       Keep the top of the fence spiked or pointed or razor wire or anti-climb spikes.
•       Put light weight construction on the top of your fence
•       Use metal or wire mesh fencing

Not easily bypassed
•       The fence has to be firmly secured into the ground.
•       The gates have to be secured to. If possible don’t cheap out or follow the tips of gates!!
•       Don’t use chain link fences because they are easy to cut trough.

Guard your gates
•       Make sure your side gate does not have a convenient handle for the thief to step onto and over.
•       If you don’t use an automatic gate. Make sure that your gate is locked every single time.

Alarm systems

Advice: use laser curtain
•       Sensors
•       Vibration sensors
•       Motion sensors
•       Fence security
•       Wire fence security
•       Palisade fence security

Vibration sensors are sensors for measuring, displaying, and analyzing linear

velocity, displacement and proximity, or acceleration.

They are subtle and unnoticed by human senses is a telltale sign of machine

condition.

Motion sensor (or motion detector) is the linchpin of your security system, because

it's the main device that detects when someone is in your home when they

shouldn't be.

A motion sensor uses one or multiple technologies to detect movement in an area.

What are the pro’s and cons of alarm systems?

Pros of alarm systems:
•       Extremely cost-effective and easy to install.
•       Safe and do not put people at risk in the event of any false alarm being triggered off.
•       Modern systems are not triggered off by animals or vegetation.
•       The shrill alarm can serve as a good deterrent.

Cons of alarm systems:
•       Less sophisticated systems are triggered off by plastic or paper blowing across, rodents or stray animals.
•       Power supply interruptions can cause disturbances and the systems may need re-setting.
•       Home-owners cannot afford to become complacent even when they’ve installed a system.
•       The wrong placement of the sensors makes it ineffective.
•       Keep in mind that weather conditions like fog and snow may interfere.

Camera systems:

Tips for placing perimeter cameras:
•       Consider the terrain (NO BLIND SPOTS)
•       Take growth of your area in consideration.
•       Light and camera’s go hand in hand. Keep in mind the lighting at night.
•       Make a good camera layout tool. (ASK YOUR ARCHITECT).

Perimeter Security lights with motion sensors :
•       The security lights turn on when the motion sensor system gives a warning that you have an intruder.
•       Very important to know before the uninvited guests tries to climb over your fences
