Electric Fencing

The need for higher levels of security to deter intruders is growing worldwide. Whereas in the past a security fence was merely a passive physical barrier, the reality of today's world prescribes the use of an active intrusion detection system that reacts to any intrusion attempts, preventing or delaying intruder access and one that is not reliant on human surveillance.

What is an Electric Fence?

An electric fence system consists of electric wires carrying high voltage electric pulses that provide a non-lethal shock to an intruder. Tampering with the fence results in an alarm activation, which is transmitted to security personnel at a monitoring the site.

The number of wires, the distance between the wires, the zone length, and integration with concertina fencing are some of the different configurations which are commonly used to meet the site requirements. The electric wire barrier can be installed vertically or at an angle to provide wider physical barriers that make intrusion by way of digging and climbing more difficult.



ADVANTAGES OF AN ELECTRIC FENCE

  Easy installation on existing wall or fence, or as a stand-alone
    perimeter fence.
  Provides a physical barrier that delay the intrusion time.
  Provides an electric shock to intruders.
  Acts as a psychological barrier to deter intrusion attempts.
  Provides a higher level of detection capability to detect an intrusion
   attempt and set off the alarm which is then transmitted to the security
    personnel or company monitoring the site.
  Low maintenance costs.
  Easy to operate.
  Animals receive an electric shock and are deterred without activating
    the alarm. The animal learns not to come into contact with the fence
  Accidental human contact with the fence will provide an electric shock
   that will teach the person (who is not an intruder) not to tamper with
   the fence.
  The electric wires serve as a perimeter fence, alleviating the need to
    erect another conventional fence.
  Reduced cost of security personnel.
