Advanced Perimeter Systems General Manager, Zack Davidson, makes the case for a multi-layered approach to security.

In today’s rapidly evolving security landscape, the need for robust perimeter security has never been more critical.

Traditional methods, such as simple fences and manned guard posts, no longer suffice in the face of sophisticated threats.  

At Advanced Perimeter Systems (APS), we have embraced this challenge by developing intelligent high-security solutions designed to meet diverse needs and provide unparalleled protection.

Our flagship products—Flexiguard, Electric Fencing, and Microguard—exemplify our commitment to reliability and excellence in perimeter security. 

A legacy of excellence 

Founded with a mission to deliver reliable and robust security solutions, APS has helped in safeguarding critical infrastructure worldwide.

Our products hold the prestigious Secured by Design certification and some products even being NPSA accredited, a testament to their quality and effectiveness.

From palaces to piggeries and even iconic landmarks like the Pyramids of Egypt and Blackpool Zoo our systems are trusted worldwide to protect a wide range of properties. 

Customisation: The key to effective security 

What sets APS apart is our bespoke approach to security.

We understand that each customer has unique requirements and we tailor our solutions to create effective perimeter intrusion detection.

Whether it’s a commercial property or a critical infrastructure site, our flexible solutions ensure that every aspect of security is covered. 

Flexiguard: Versatility and reliability 

Flexiguard, one of our premier products, offers a versatile and reliable solution for perimeter intrusion detection.

Easy to install and highly dependable, Flexiguard minimises false alarms through automatic environmental control.

It integrates easily with CCTV systems and can even be powered by solar energy, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. 

Electric fencing: A powerful deterrent 

APS’s high-security electric fence energisers deliver a non-lethal but highly effective 10,000-volt shock. This deterrent is not only effective in preventing breaches but also sends a clear message about the level of security in place.

Additionally, our energisers are backwards compatible with older models, can be solar-powered and even retrofitted to other systems, ensuring continued reliability and sustainability for your future. 

Microguard: Precision and accuracy 

The Microguard system enhances perimeter security with precision and accuracy.

Comprising three main products—the MW-110 infrared quad beam barrier, the MW-200 microwave beam, and the MW-310 dual tech sensor—Microguard is designed to detect a wide range of intrusion attempts.

The MW-110 covers 110 meters, the MW-200 offers a microwave beam up to 200 meters wide, and the MW-310 distinguishes between environmental movements and genuine threats within a 12-meter range. This layered detection capability ensures that no intruder can go undetected. 

Integrated solutions 

Our products can work together, creating a comprehensive and multi-layered security solution.

Depending on the specific requirements of a site and existing security infrastructure, we can mix and match our systems to provide in-depth protection.

For example, Flexiguard, Electric Fencing or Microguard can be combined with CCTV to detect and deter potential intruders effectively. 

The role of customer support 

Providing exceptional customer support is a cornerstone of our business model.

We ensure that our customers receive solutions that meet their specific needs, backed by ongoing support from email or a friendly voice on the other side of the phone, to maintain the effectiveness of their security systems. 

A holistic approach to security 

While analytics and AI play a pivotal role in modern security, they are not standalone solutions.

True defence in depth requires a holistic, integrated approach that combines multiple security measures.  

At APS, we blend advanced technologies with traditional physical security measures like electric fencing to create a robust and comprehensive security solution. 

The evolution of perimeter security demands a multi-layered approach that combines innovation, customisation, and reliability.

Advanced Perimeter Systems is at the forefront of this evolution, offering products that not only meet but exceed industry standards.
