If you or your security personnel see would-be intruders coming, they can prepare appropriate measures to deter them or capture them. Naturally, this level of vigilance isn\u2019t necessary for all businesses and organisations. For example, many companies and institutions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/need-new-perimeter-fencing-solution\/\" title=\"Do you need a new perimeter fencing solution?\">need CCTV cameras that adequately cover their entrances and perimeter<\/a>. However, if you run a larger, more high-profile business or organisation, you may find that a good sightline provides a crucial advantage. But how can you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/office-security\/\" title=\"Easy ways to improve the security of your office\">improve your security<\/a> employees\u2019 ability to see potential intruders?<\/p>\n<h2>1. Powerful lighting<\/h2>\n<p>CCTV cameras can be used to remotely monitor parts of your site or premises, while <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> can be employed to keep a lookout for suspicious activity. However, neither human beings nor cameras can observe effectively in dim lighting. You probably already keep the interior of your premises lit at night, but you should also consider deploying powerful exterior lights. By lighting up the area around your premises or site instead of just the premises or site itself, you can increase the range from which it\u2019s possible to spot would-be intruders.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Mesh fencing<\/h2>\n<p>There are many types of <a href=\"\/products\/security-mesh-fencing\/\">security fencing<\/a> available. Obviously, all of them obscure vision to some extent &#8211; there\u2019s no such thing as a completely transparent security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence\/\" title=\"What does your fence say about your business?\">fence<\/a>! However, mesh fencing is much easier to see through than other types of fencing. The structure of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fencing-for-zoos\/\" title=\"Arkansas Zoo to improve mesh fencing\">mesh fencing<\/a> naturally leaves large, regular gaps between strands of metal. This does not diminish the fence\u2019s strength. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/install-perimeter-fencing\/\" title=\"When is the right time to install perimeter fencing?\">Installing this type of security fencing around your perimeter<\/a> can make it easier for security personnel to see outside your site and spot potential intruders.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Security training<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, spotting potential intruders isn\u2019t just <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/about-us\/\"  title=\"about\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">about<\/a> improving lines of sight. You also need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/work-with-security-fencing\/\" title=\"Training security personnel to work with security fencing\">train your security personnel<\/a> to notice and identify suspicious activity.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Zaun, we run <a title=\"Zaun Proudly Renews RIBA CPD Membership\" href=\"\/specifier-zone\/fencing-cpd\/\">RIBA approved CPD<\/a> presentations on perimeter security.
