Detection Systems (PIDS)

What Are PIDS?

A PIDS (Perimeter Intruder Detection System) is a security term for any system which provides advanced warning of an intruder or threat trying to gain access to a secured area.

One example of a PID system would be El-Far’s fence-mounted sensors which detect vibrations and identify the exact location of attempted breaks, cuts or scaling. Heavy impacts can also be monitored.

This data is fed back to a control box and PIDs software creates audio-visual alerts, alarms, notifications or live feeds which allow security personnel to take action before the threat escalates.

What Types Of Fencing Will
Work With PIDS?

Generally, any metal fence will work well with PIDS.

All have different pros and cons with the system but the following fence types are recommended:

  • Wire Fencing
  • Mesh Fencing,
  • Palisade Fencing
  • Security Railings
  • Solid Metal Fencing

A single controller can monitor up to 1500 metres of fencing making it a cost-effective solution for large boundaries.

What Can PIDS Do?

Our Fence-Mounted PIDS systems are able to detect intrusion attempts by climbing, cutting or lifting a perimeter fence, or even by tampering with the power/communication cabling.

The sensors can be attached to most types of existing physical boundaries including decorative, chain-link or welded mesh fences and also walls for maximum detection ability.

Having perimeter detection equipment installed allows the user or operator to have real-time information on the exact position of attempted intrusions along the entire property perimeter. The systems can be connected to CCTV systems, sirens, audible warning beacons and lights allowing advanced warning and correct live information of any potential threat.

Applications for PIDS:

Commercial PIDS Systems:

Commercial premises use PIDS to give the onsite security staff an advanced warning that (as an example) youths are attempting to break through a fence and steal expensive equipment. This immediate detection could be seen in the control room while a security team are moving to intercept the threat before any losses are incurred.

Domestic PIDS:

PIDS used on the boundary of homes of wealthy individuals, allow the immediate detection of threats. Occupants will be warned, so they can quickly secure themselves into a secure room within a building before they experience any threat.

PIDS Systems As An Alarm:

All PIDS systems can be designed to create warnings to would-be intruders that they have breached a secured monitored area and are being watched.

This unique advantage effectively scares people away from your property before they manage to get near to the property or individuals within.

This reduces losses by theft, property damage and the potential risk to life.
