Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

The most effective form of security is one which deters the criminal from even attempting to commit a crime. Next is to make it difficult or impossible to approach the likely target using perimeter detection systems. Lastly, security providers can implement Intrusion Detection Systems, IDS, which detect the intruder at the earliest possible opportunity and execute a series of predefined steps.

In the simplest form, door contacts and motion detectors provide the backbone of the system. While still integral to most systems, today’s technologies make it more difficult to defeat the true ‘professional’ criminal. 18 and 24 volt battery-powered saws and drills make it much easier for an intruder to enter a facility at different points – through walls, ceilings and air ducts. Therefore, in addition to the door contacts and motion detectors, other devices must be used including changes to the physical security of the building.

SiteSecure can help determine most likely paths of ingress, the best methods and equipment to detect intruders at all of these points and provide a complete solution for the sensing and, hopefully, apprehension of the perpetrator.
