About Perimeter Intrusion Detection
Perimeter intrusion detection (PID) catches a breach the moment someone crosses the boundary, not after they're inside. UK providers fit fence-mounted vibration sensors, infrared beams, microwave detectors, or buried cable systems depending on terrain. Modern installations connect to a CCTV verification feed and an Alarm Receiving Centre so every triggered sensor produces evidence, not just a noise. Best paired with remote monitoring or a key-holding service for response.
Common use cases
- Large construction site with kilometres of fencing
- Rural compound or farm with valuable plant
- Distribution warehouse with restricted-access yard
- Substation or critical infrastructure
- Solar farm or wind installation
What to look for in a provider
- False-alarm rejection rate — most reputable systems quote < 5%
- Integration with your CCTV for visual verification
- BS 8418-compliant install for police-confirmed response
- Sensor type matched to your terrain (open fields vs urban)
- Battery / mains backup for power outages
