Perimeter security systems

• More perimeter coverage with fewer cameras automatically detecting potential intruders.
• As a result, alarms are raised before the perimeter is physically breached: from 320 metres with Viseum’s optical perimeter security, and out to 39 kilometres with Viseum’s thermal perimeter security.
• The most effective peace of mind for high-value asset protection.

Perimeter security Industry Standard

The perimeter security industry standard for automated security and situational awareness

This Perimeter Security Camera is a multitasking camera with video analytics. Installed and supported as plug-and-play with modular hardware. Meeting any remote site’s perimeter coverage and surveillance requirements. Solving the many problems with standalone security systems, manned surveillance services and manned guarding patrols.

Automated perimeter protection

Gigapixel Analytics 360° Perimeter Security 

The only Perimeter Security Systems to automatically detect multiple perimeter breaches at the same time and follow each one close up. From short range to long range in all directions of the perimeter. Viseum’s Perimeter Security Systems operate completely automatically, controlling a moving PTZ Camera to prevent perimeter breaches, with high-quality close-up video of the alarm. The system automatically reports incidents for rapid response and investigations.

• Compared with a standard fixed camera installation, it captures over 100 times more people and vehicles.
• Over 25 x more usable video evidence.
• Solves over 15 x more incidents.

Perimeter alarm system

This is an advanced backup and dual perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS). Perimeter alarms create the strongest perimeter deterrent. Viseum 360 Security Cameras have earned their reputation as the trusted solution to the problem of perimeter security. Our perimeter surveillance systems deliver the strongest perimeter security. We have fully digitally integrated our Thermal and Optical 360 Security Cameras, our Radar Surveillance Systems (PDF) and our Counter Drone Systems. Together they form the security industry’s most advanced perimeter intrusion detection systems, with built-in Viseum 360 Security Cameras.

Panoramic Security Camera Design – Perimeter Surveillance

Perimeter Security Systems – Integrated camera fencing

For the most effective Perimeter Security Systems, our fencing has built-in Viseum 360 Security Cameras. This makes installation and maintenance simple, improves operational performance and gives the highest level of perimeter intruder detection for critical infrastructure such as airports and power plants.

Problems with Perimeter Security Systems

In today’s global security climate, there is a need to combat perimeter security threats against critical infrastructure. There is also a need to reduce operational costs. Video of perimeter breaches is often of little use, because the break-in did not happen close enough to a camera. Or the camera missed it completely.

Best perimeter surveillance security camera, and long-term deterrent

Manned cameras deter criminals. Watching Viseum’s perimeter security camera follow them, they think that a security guard has already found them. This stops the risk of perimeter attack better than any other perimeter system.

Best perimeter surveillance security service

A perimeter surveillance security camera that detects multiple breaches at the same time. It works with Remote Monitoring to produce the fastest, most accurate and complete end-to-end security service. Viseum UK’s intelligent 360 Security Cameras provide the highest level of constantly vigilant perimeter surveillance 24/7/365. They produce close-up video of the perimeter breach with the alarm. The system reports the perimeter breach in detail.

Unique perimeter security systems

When officers catch suspects, they show them video of the offence. This includes clothing and any noticeable brand logos. If they are wearing a hood or facial mask, the perimeter surveillance recordings still provide clear evidence of the offence. If the suspect escapes, this detailed video helps authorities recognise and identify the suspect.

This narrated presentation shows how it is impossible to identify a weak point of a perimeter that Viseum Thermal and/or Optical Surveillance Cameras are protecting.

Fewer false alarms along a long boundary

Fence sensors react to wind, animals and passing traffic. They cannot tell an operator what happened. Because our camera detects the movement and then zooms into it automatically, the control room receives a picture. Staff act on the alerts instead of muting them.

Covering ground that fencing cannot

Many perimeters run for miles across open country. For example, reservoirs, substations, rail corridors and construction compounds all resist conventional fencing. Trenching a cable along such a boundary often costs more than the cameras themselves. Meanwhile a single mast with 360 degree detection covers a wide arc without any of that groundwork.

Questions we are asked most often

Firstly, how far can the camera detect an intruder? Several hundred metres by day, and further again with the thermal option. Secondly, will animals trigger it? Rarely, because the analytics separate a person from wildlife before raising anything. Thirdly, does it need a fence? No, although it works well alongside one.

Fourthly, how quickly can we deploy along a temporary boundary? Usually within hours using a trailer. Finally, who maintains it? Our own engineers do, and they can reach the equipment remotely for most tasks. In short, a long perimeter no longer demands a long list of staff.

Types of perimeter security system

A perimeter security system detects an intruder at the boundary of a site and raises an alarm before anything inside is reached. It joins physical barriers, sensors, cameras and a response.

Fence sensors. Sensors fixed to the fence feel cutting, climbing or lifting. They locate the alarm along the fence line. Wind, rain, animals and loose panels can also set them off.

Buried and fibre sensors. Cables in the ground feel footsteps, vehicles and digging. They are hidden from view and hard to defeat, and they tell you where along the line something happened, but not what it was.

Radar. Ground radar sees movement across open ground in darkness, fog and rain. It tracks each object and gives its position. It sees people and vehicles well before they reach the fence.

How to choose. Start with the threat and the ground: open land, a fence line, a coast or a border. Then ask how every alarm is confirmed, and who responds.

Where Viseum fits. Viseum joins its thermal and optical 360 cameras with Viseum AiRadar, so AiRadar finds each object and the camera confirms and follows it. The operator receives the alarm with close-up evidence.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main types of perimeter security systems?

The main types are physical barriers, fence-mounted sensors, buried and fibre-optic sensors, microwave and infrared beams, ground radar, thermal cameras and video analytics. Most high-security sites use several together: one layer detects, another confirms what it is, and a control room decides the response. The right mix depends on the ground and the threat.

How do perimeter security solutions reduce false alarms?

They confirm each alarm before anyone is sent. A sensor or radar raises the alert, and a camera turns to the position to show what caused it. Thermal imaging and video analytics help to tell a person or vehicle from an animal, a bird or weather. The operator then decides with the picture in front of them.

Does perimeter protection work at night and in bad weather?

It can, if the sensors are chosen for it. Radar works in darkness, fog and rain, and thermal cameras see heat in total darkness. Optical cameras need some light, so they are paired with thermal imaging at night. Ask the supplier to show recorded alarms from night and poor weather, as well as clear days.

Questions about perimeter security systems

What is the best perimeter security system?

One that detects every breach, confirms it with a camera and follows the intruder, without waiting for an operator.

How long a perimeter can one camera protect?

Each optical 360 camera covers up to the size of 4 Olympic stadiums. Thermal cameras with Viseum AiRadar cover perimeters up to the size of New York City.

Why Viseum?

One Viseum camera does the work of 6 constantly manned cameras, a Metropolitan Police surveillance officer reported.
