Perimeter Security Planner
Real perimeter security is layered — deter, detect, delay, respond. Enter your boundary length, the number of gates and the threat level to get a recommended defence-in-depth layer stack and indicative quantities for cameras, lighting, detection zones and a guardhouse. Planning figures; runs in your browser.
- 1Physical barrier / fence
- 2Perimeter lighting
- 3CCTV surveillance
- 4Detection at gates
Planning estimate only — no single layer is enough, and these quantities are indicative figures based on typical spacings. A security consultant designs a high-security perimeter; verify every layer against the actual site, its sightlines and the real threat, and confirm with a site walk-through.

CCTV Lighting Compatibility Tool
A camera is only as good as its night light. Match your camera type — day/night, IR, colour-at-night or thermal — to the lighting you have for a green / amber / red verdict and the fix, covering IR glow, white-light glare, hotspots and WDR. Verify with a real night test.
Night Vision MatchGuardhouse Placement Tool
How many guard posts and guards does a site need? Manned entries plus roving perimeter posts, turned into a 24x7 rota with a relief factor for weekly offs and leave. A single round-the-clock post needs four-plus guards, not three. Engage guards via a licensed PSARA agency.
Guard RotaMotion Light Placement Tool
How many motion-activated security lights cover a run, and where? Coverage length over each PIR light's reach, less overlap, with mounting-height guidance. Aim across the path of travel, keep sensors off heat and the road, and pair with a camera. Verify with a night walk-test.
