Protected by PowerFence

June 2006 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection

Now, more than ever, it is increasingly important to secure your residence against intruders who are becoming increasingly undeterred by existing security defences.

Traditional means of perimeter protection are no longer sufficient to ensure the safety of your family and/or property.

Intruders often gain access to your property through a fence; over a wall; or through the roof.

If any of these areas are weak or accessible, a residence is vulnerable to burglary, theft, vandalism or home invasion.

PowerFence systems from Gallagher Security Management Systems can provide a safe, reliable and effective solution, providing peace of mind day and night that family and property are protected.

The systems are founded on two core principles for perimeter protection: deterrance - deter anyone from attempting to break in or out; and detection - detect attempts to breach the perimeter.

When the perimeter is attacked, PowerFence systems identify which zone is affected and send an alarm to the monitoring company to dispatch security guards.

False alarms are virtually unheard of as these systems will not alarm due to interference from wildlife or debris.

Running costs are minimal - a system requires less than 40 W when the system is on and armed - about the same cost as running a light bulb.

Full height fences can be customised to complement site surroundings and can be designed to be as subtle or obvious as required depending on the message you want to convey.

Gallagher Security Management Systems supplies all the components needed to build a solution, including controllers to power and monitor the system, wire, fence posts, tools and accessories.
