If you want to make life harder for intruders, push detection outside your premises and toughen up entrances and building perimeters to support your electronic security equipment and the patrol response teams that will respond to the alarm events it generates.
You can’t rely on detection systems, be they microwave, infrared beams, video analytics and the rest, to be the sole means of perimeter protection until response arrives. Trouble is, unless a guard force is located on-site, an intruder can get onto the site then off again long before a patrol or police arrive.
To give monitoring stations and patrol response sufficient time to respond, you need to ensure perimeter detection systems actually defend a robust physical perimeter. That might be a boundary fence, but if you can implement discrete external sensors on natural lines of approach, toughening up the exterior of your building will be a big help.
Even the application of tough 3M window film, internal hinges with no-lift pins, higher security locks and movement-activated lighting supported by CCTV is a big step up from no perimeter protection at all.
