Perimeter and Intrusion Detection

Advanced Perimeter and Intrusion Detection Systems

Protecting your property starts at its boundary. A strong perimeter security system is your first line of defence. Our Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) are designed to deter, detect and delay unauthorised access before it can threaten your people or assets. For businesses, critical infrastructure and high-risk environments, a proactive security approach is essential for peace of mind.

At Reflex Systems, we design, install and maintain advanced PIDS tailored to your specific risks. As an NSI Gold-certified and accredited company, we are fully audited and have a proven track record of delivering robust, integrated security technologies. We’re here to help you build a secure boundary so you can feel confident that your property is well-protected.

Why Is Perimeter Security So Important?

Think of perimeter protection as a vital outer layer for your security. Its main purpose is to alert you to potential threats at the earliest possible moment, giving you valuable time to react. Instead of discovering an intruder once they are already inside, a perimeter security system helps you monitor and respond to unauthorised activity at your property line.

This proactive stance is crucial for preventing theft, vandalism and other severe security breaches. For organisations managing critical infrastructure, data centres or large storage facilities, preventing intrusions is not just a security goal; it’s an operational necessity. An effective, CPNI-compliant system acts as a powerful deterrent, sending a clear message that your site is secure and actively monitored.

Our Approach to Perimeter and Intrusion Detection

Every property has unique security challenges, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our process begins with understanding your needs and assessing your site to design a perimeter protection system that provides complete, reliable coverage.

Our engineered solutions range from standalone intruder alarms to sophisticated, custom-integrated systems. We can bring together panic alarms, IP network cameras, access control, lighting and gate access into a single, manageable platform. This unified approach provides you with better situational awareness and a more effective way to protect your property.

Advanced Video Analytics

Modern camera systems can do more than just record footage; they can intelligently analyse it. We use the latest generation of video analytics to transform your CCTV network into a sophisticated intrusion detection system. The software can be programmed to detect specific events, such as:

Virtual Tripwires: A digital line is drawn across a scene. If anyone crosses it, an alarm is triggered. This is perfect for monitoring fence lines, gates and open areas.
Intrusion Detection: You can define a specific zone, like a car park or a restricted area. The system will send real-time alerts if it detects movement within that zone during certain hours.

Object Recognition: The analytics can distinguish between people, vehicles and animals, reducing false alarms caused by environmental factors.

Thermal Image Detection and Radar

For superior detection in challenging conditions, we deploy thermal imaging and radar technologies, such as:

Thermal Cameras: These cameras detect heat signatures, making them incredibly effective in complete darkness, fog or heavy rain. They can identify potential intruders long before they become visible to a standard camera.
Radar Systems: Radar provides wide-area coverage and can simultaneously track the movement, speed and direction of multiple targets, offering exceptional situational awareness regardless of weather conditions.

Both thermal and radar systems integrate seamlessly with access control and CCTV, providing an enhanced layer of intelligent security.

Fence-Mounted Detection Systems

For properties with a physical perimeter fence, fence-mounted sensors offer an excellent layer of protection. These systems are designed to detect any attempt to cut, climb or tamper with the fence. The sensors can pinpoint the exact location of the intrusion attempt and send an immediate alert to your video management system, automatically directing a camera to the location.

Active Infrared Beams

Active infrared (IR) beams create an invisible “fence” of light around your property. If an intruder breaks the beam, an alarm is triggered. These systems are highly reliable for protecting specific entry points, open ground or the approach to a building.

Wireless Mesh Technology

For sites where running cables is difficult or undesirable, we design and install systems that use market-leading wireless mesh technology. This creates a flexible, secure network of security devices that offers the same reliability as a wired system without the significant disruption and cost of cabling.

24/7 Monitoring for Complete Peace of Mind

Detection is only the first step; a truly effective security system needs a reliable response. Reflex Systems not only holds full NSI Gold accreditation but also offers British Standard subscription-based monitoring services.

Our secure transmission methods operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from a dedicated Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). When your alarm is triggered, our professional security operators are ready to respond. Depending on your pre-agreed instructions, this can be used to:

Alert Keyholders: Immediately notify designated members of your team so they can take action.
Trigger a Police Response: As an NSI Gold-accredited installer, we can provide systems that qualify for police response, ensuring swift assistance in the event of a confirmed intrusion.

This constant monitoring ensures that every alert is handled promptly and effectively, whether you are on-site or off-site.
