If you\u2019re planning on installing a new security system, you will probably opt to incorporate CCTV cameras and alarms. You may also choose electronic security gates and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harperchalice.com\">electrified fencing<\/a> over more traditional perimeter fencing solutions. However, even the most technologically advanced pieces of security apparatus aren\u2019t infallible. If you don\u2019t take proper precautions, your cameras may be hacked, or your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/electrified-fencing\/\" title=\"Is electrified fencing right for you?\">electrified fence<\/a> may be disabled. Luckily, there are steps you can take to make your hi-tech security system more reliable and prevent intruders from interfering with your security apparatus.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Add non-electrified defences to your fence<\/h2>\n<p>It would help if you thought <a title=\"The first line of defence\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/the-first-line-of-defence\/\">of electrified fencing as your first line of defence<\/a> against intruders. Electrification is a powerful deterrent and is very effective at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/stopping-criminal-escapes\/\" title=\"Stopping Criminal Escapes\">stopping would-be criminals<\/a>. However, it shouldn\u2019t be your only form of protection. If your electrical supply fails, your security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence\/\" title=\"What does your fence say about your business?\">fencing<\/a> should be able to stop intruders without it for a short time. We recommend choosing a high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/guide-power-fence-toppings\/\" title=\"A guide to the power of fencing toppings\">fence and adding fence toppings<\/a>. If you experience electrical problems, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/four-ways-fencing-deters-intruders\/\" title=\"Four ways fencing deters intruders\">fence will still block intruders<\/a> until those problems can be rectified.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Ensure you have a backup power supply<\/h2>\n<p>All <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/detection-for-fences\/\" title=\"How technology can bolster the security of perimeter fences\">security technology<\/a> is dependent on electricity. If an intruder interferes with your power supply or you experience a power cut, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/cctv-analytics\/\" title=\"Zaun buys CCTV expert\">CCTV<\/a> cameras, electronic gates, alarms, and fencing could all be compromised. Ensuring that you have a backup power supply or an <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/emergency-services\/\"  title=\"emergency\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">emergency<\/a> power supply can eliminate this problem. In addition, if your power is cut but you have access to an alternate supply, you will be able to switch to it immediately, thereby ensuring that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/good-security-systems\/\" title=\"Why perimeter fencing is the cornerstone of all good security systems\">security system<\/a> isn\u2019t compromised.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Make sure electronic security gates are monitored<\/h2>\n<p>Electronic gates are very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/construction-site-security\/\" title=\"Effective construction site security\">effective at controlling access to secure sites<\/a> and premises. However, they are not a substitute for <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-fencing-system\/\" title=\"How to hire security personnel who are worthy of your Zaun security system\">security personnel<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/secure-security-gates\/\" title=\"How to ensure that your security gates really are secure\">Ensure a member of your security<\/a> team can always see your site\u2019s entry points, even if they are protected by electronic gates. This will ensure that prospective intruders don\u2019t have the opportunity to interfere with your gates or break through them.<\/p>\n<p>Here at <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/\">Zaun<\/a>, we understand how important it is to protect the technology that protects your site or premises.
