Clearway perimeter security

Perimeter Security Systems

Clearway provides perimeter security solutions that detect intrusions, deter unauthorised access, and delay potential threats to protect properties and assets.

Discovering that a gap in your perimeter has enabled thieves to access your site or allowed trespassers and squatters entry can be hugely disruptive, and cause the ongoing stress of worrying when the next breach will occur.

Clearway’s advanced perimeter security ensures no unauthorised person or vehicle can access your site without being detected and intercepted.

Defend Your Perimeters and Boundaries From All Types of Trespass and Unauthorised Entry

Perimeter security is a system designed to monitor and protect the boundary of a property or site using technologies such as sensors, alarms, and surveillance cameras to detect and deter unauthorised access.

The perimeter of any site is usually the most vulnerable point. Whether you are responsible for a construction site, have a vacant property, or are planning an event, your site boundaries present the highest potential risk for criminals to more easily gain entry without detection. 

Depending on the risk factors and your security priorities, protecting your boundaries could involve a range of measures, such as:

  • Preventing unauthorised access with physical barriers and eliminating the potential for vehicular access away from main entry points.
  • Using manned guards to screen visitors, patrols to identify attempted intruders, and using access control systems to prevent unauthorised individuals from making it onto the site.
  • Advanced technological monitoring systems to analyse site activity, assess attempted breaches and respond promptly to any potential issues.

We provide independent advice and layered protection, blending the best approaches to ensure your perimeters are invulnerable to a whole host of threats.

  • Early warnings of the first signs of an attempted breach
  • Integrates fencing, CCTV, alarms, PIDS and barriers
  • Access control options to allow for easy authorised entry
  • Flexibility with permanent, temporary and wireless options
  • 24/7 monitoring through our accredited response centre
  • Strong deterrent against thieves and trespassers
  • Customised to your site or perimeter size
  • Assists with insurance and health and safety compliance

Organisations like local councils, highways agencies, and government bodies introduce perimeter security systems as a scalable approach to site protection, whether safeguarding properties, restricted-access facilities or open land subject to development work.

Our Perimeter Security Solutions and Services

Perimeter security systems are essential for safeguarding buildings, businesses, and critical infrastructure by integrating security video cameras, motion sensors, alarms, and access control measures.

Temporary Solar or Mains Powered CCTV Towers


Clearway inView CCTV Towers are a unique development from Clearway’s stable of innovations and run on mains or solar power; they provide extensive coverage and a highly visible deterrent factor – perfect for perimeter security.

 

With three in-built bullet cameras providing extended oversight and integrated analytics, CCTV surveillance towers can detect intrusion activities and notify our NSI Gold-approved response centre 24/7/365.

CCTV Towers

inView Detect – Wireless Intrusion Detection System


InView Detect is an autonomous intrusion detection system that uses dual power sources – batteries and solar energy. The system is motion-activated and transmits a sequence of images directly to our NSI Gold II-accredited receiving centre to ensure the cause of the alert can be swiftly assessed and the appropriate action taken. 

 

With minimal deployment timescales and a fast setup process, this system is suited to many applications. It is used as part of perimeter security for vacant properties, open areas of land, to protect plant and machinery and to safeguard construction sites.

PID Security

Concrete Barriers


Many sites can typically occupy large, open areas of land with multiple access points, and these can be difficult to protect from intruders and fly-tippers.

 

Concrete barrier blocks are a great way to enhance your perimeter security. They are flexible enough to protect small entry points between trees or along roadways, or to be erected in a line or row for longer boundaries. 

 

Barrier blocks can be erected to prevent vehicular access across entrances of all sizes, preventing entry by thieves who rely on vehicles to carry stolen machinery and goods.

 

Fly-tipping is also a major issue on open or unoccupied land, such as when a site is in the early stages of development, or your vacant premises or construction site are left unattended for long periods of time.

 

Concrete Barriers

Site Access Control


Controlling access to any perimeter is essential for the security of the building, the equipment and the personnel working on site. By implementing effective access control, you can keep your staff and the public safe, your site secure and avoid the unwanted costs and stress of theft and vandalism.

 

Access control solutions from Clearway can cover turnstile-type cabins, appointing manned guards and implementing biometric or keycard readers to ensure only verified personnel can gain entry.

 

Site Access Control

Dog Units/Patrols


Security dogs add a new dimension to your perimeter security systems and practices, offering a much more visible element to your security detail. Security dogs effectively complement the skills of security officers, naturally offering higher levels of threat detection and, therefore, faster response.

 

Having a highly trained security dog is an efficient and cost-effective way of providing enhanced security solutions in a range of different scenarios. Security guards and highly trained K9 colleagues can be deployed for one-off events or as a longer-term part of your perimeter security.  Suited to businesses of all sizes, dog units are also available to reinforce the safeguards offered by your existing security teams, or to protect vacant properties.

K9 Units

Mobile Patrols


If your perimeter needs 24-hour security and/or is in a vulnerable category, physical security is undoubtedly one of the strongest deterrents to criminals. However, it is always important to consider both risk exposure and budgets, because for many businesses, the costs of 24/7 guarding are prohibitive. 

Mobile patrols are an excellent solution to this problem, delivering a professional security presence on your site with irregular patrols to avoid creating a regular pattern that criminals can trace. This strengthens your security and eliminates the risk of successful security breaches. Our security teams log all incidents or concerns to ensure that any arising threats, such as scouting your location, are intercepted or addressed before they become a serious issue.

 

Mobile Patrols

Open/Lock-Up Services


Our reliable open/lock up service ensures your staff have guaranteed access to your building perimeter at the required and specified time. Utilising the Clearway open/lock up service also guarantees your property is completely secure at the specified times.

Following the closure of sites, your Clearway staff member will check that all of your staff have left the building and that your building or site is secure before setting the perimeter alarm system. Our open/lock-up service is the perfect solution for organisations with multiple properties.

    How It Works

    NSI Gold Monitoring

    How Perimeter Security Systems Work in Practice

    Visual Deterrent

    Having anti-climb fencing, electronic security gates, signs warning of active surveillance and virtual perimeter sensors effectively deters a large proportion of opportunist criminals who might otherwise assume a site is undefended.

    Physical Preventative

    Adding barriers and blockades, such as concrete blocks, is an effective way to protect larger open perimeters or entry points with immovable precast concrete that cannot be moved or shifted.

    Track Movement and Activity

    Photos can be triggered by alarm or on demand with a camera that combines the best optics, a fast processor and advanced software algorithms. This guarantees top-quality pictures in any weather, day or night.

    Raise Rapid Alerts

    When a live security incident is identified, your perimeter security will notify all the relevant parties quickly, including our response teams, the emergency services, on-site security personnel and mobile guards.

    Key Problems Perimeter Security Systems Resolve

    We understand that discovering a gap in your perimeter that is currently unprotected from criminal attacks can be distressing.

    However, implementing a proactive perimeter security system can address several issues, including those outlined below.

    You Have Fences, But Know These Could Be Climbed or Cut to Enable Trespassers to Gain Access


    You’re aware that fences alone are insufficient, and a concerted effort to trespass or enter your site could be successful if you lack a secondary means to identify intruders or reinforce your physical protection.

    Your Perimeters Are Always Changing on a Live Construction Site, and You Need a Security Approach That Can Keep Up


    You need a way to protect perimeters around the clock, with a solution that is adaptable enough to adjust the perimeter line or reposition sensors as your construction projects move onto each new phase.

    You Store Metals, Tools, Plant and Fuel on Site and Need to Prevent Further Thefts


    You’ve already been a target for thieves and have high-value assets or equipment you need to protect, without leaving any gaps in your perimeter that criminals can exploit.

    You Own or Manage Vacant Properties or Land That Is Constantly Being Targeted By Fly-Tippers and Squatters


    You’re one of the many vacant property or landowners who have dealt with the headache of fly-tipped waste and squatters, and need a sure-fire way to ensure that anybody without authorization cannot access your premises.

    Your Remote Site Is at Risk and You Cannot Rely on Staff 24/7 or Don’t Have the Budget for Ongoing Patrols, Leaving Your Premises Unguarded Overnight


    You’re either unable or unwilling to rely on untrained staff to detect security breaches, or you lack on-site personnel overnight and require a cost-effective solution to safeguard your site.

    You’ve Discovered Perimeter Breaches After the Fact and Have to Stop This From Ever Happening Again


    You’ve found that criminals have infiltrated your site undetected, and the damage has already been done. You must now ensure that this cannot recur and that any subsequent illegal entry attempts are swiftly identified.

    Your Insurance Provider Requires You to Initiate an Accredited or Monitored Perimeter Protection Solution for Coverage to Remain Valid


    You need to provide evidence that you have a perimeter security system in place that meets the conditions linked to your insurance coverage.

     

    Clearway’s security specialists have years of expertise and can advise on the right solutions for you, addressing any concerns or issues you may have.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What Are the Benefits of Having a Perimeter Security System in Place?


    There are many benefits to implementing a perimeter security system for commercial premises.

     

    • Firstly, it serves as a robust deterrent against unauthorised access and potential threats, thereby safeguarding valuable assets, equipment, and personnel. The visible presence of fences, gates, and surveillance equipment, for example, can deter criminals from attempting to breach the perimeter, reducing the risk of theft, vandalism, or other malicious activities.
    • A perimeter security system also enhances situational awareness and response capabilities. CCTV cameras, motion sensors, and intrusion detection systems provide real-time monitoring and alerts to monitoring centres and security personnel. This enables swift identification of suspicious activities or breaches, allowing for immediate response measures to be enacted.
    • Finally, investing in a perimeter security system can result in long-term cost savings and operational efficiencies. By reducing the likelihood of theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access, you can avoid losses associated with property damage, stolen goods, and business interruptions. This can also benefit business reputation as being secure and help lower insurance costs.

     

    Ultimately, a well-designed and maintained perimeter security system not only enhances safety and security but also contributes to the overall resilience and success of the business.

    What Is a Perimeter Security System?


    Perimeter security systems are customised to each site, depending on the size and layout of the perimeter, the duration of the project or construction development, and the nature of the risks you’re facing, or have already dealt with.

     

    Each system is designed to ensure there are no potential points at which an unknown or unverified person or vehicle could enter your site unchallenged, or without raising an alarm, with options to combine cameras, PIDS, CCTV, guarding patrols and many other services.

    How Are Perimeter Security Systems Different From Regular Fencing?


    Fencing can be an effective way to indicate that a site isn’t openly accessible. However, if the site contains known valuable goods or materials, a determined intruder could simply climb the fence or cut through it, making additional protection a necessity.

     

    Perimeter security can combine a broad range of guarding, monitoring and motion-activated devices and services, which reinforce the protection offered by fencing.

    Can Perimeter Systems Be Installed Without Mains Power?


    Yes, we often speak with landowners, construction managers and business owners who recognise that conventional perimeter protection isn’t suitable for their needs, and require virtual fencing lines or solar-powered surveillance that isn’t dependent on mains electricity.

     

    PIDS are a great example, as leading-edge devices that can be installed promptly and custom programmed, with the functionality to differentiate between active and delayed alarms. 

    These motion-activated perimeter security devices can raise the alarm immediately to ensure the appropriate responders can de-escalate the situation.
