The systems security professional recommended will be a combination of these two types of security.
Physical security barriers refers to all physical security barriers that you have put in place to protect your property. These security measures serve two different purposes. The first would be to act as a physical barrier to danger and the second purpose would be that they act as a visual deterrent to potential criminals. Common types of physical barriers include gates, electric fences, barbed wire and burglar bars.
Security measures that alert the necessary parties to the danger include alarm systems and fire and smoke sensors. The fire and smoke detectors will alert occupants of the building to the fact that there is a fire somewhere in the building. Alarm systems will alert the occupants of the building as well as the security company to the fact that the alarm sensors have been triggered and there may be an intruder on the property.
A comprehensive security system should control access to your property and keep the property impenetrable to break in. It should also be able to alert the occupants of the building if there is an intruder danger or other danger such as a fire. Choosing to partner with a security company is also a good idea as they provide the much need protection should you or your property be threatened by an intruder.
