One significant part of an entire security system in any building or infrastructure is a perimeter lighting. While it provides the same benefits as regular lighting provides, it differs in several ways. It can help deter potential crimes against the property and its occupants. It also gives a clear view of the perimeter area from afar, making it easy to detect any movement. Plus, it also allows for positive facial recognition of potential offender through on-site security personnel or through a CCTV system. However, there are some things that make it still unsafe despite the presence of perimeter lighting.
This is because the traditional pole-mounted security lights installed in poles at parking lots or across the streets are not enough to provide security of the area, property, and persons. Instead, these lights are merely illuminating the space without securing the perimeter. In fact, some of the lights that are pole-mounted can be too bright which may compromise the security that the lighting is intended for. These include uneven light distribution, blinding glare, and creating shadows where offenders may hide. This is why better-targeted and more effective perimeter lighting has been created that is fully-integrated into the technology of CCTV camera as well as the human eye.
This new solution to security lighting is founded on the idea that traditional lighting that was designed using outdated lumen and lux values that are inapplicable in today’s more advanced lighting technology. Plus, unnecessary costs are incurred in buying equipment, consuming energy, and wasting dollars on resources are not actually helping secure the perimeter safety against intruders.
While this kind of lighting may be enough to provide illumination in roadways and parking lots, it is sufficient to serve as perimeter lighting that your property needs. This is why the updated and more advanced lighting solution is perfectly designed to meet the natural and optimal light level for the human eye. It provides lower level and glare-free lighting as well as even light distribution. Its primary purpose is to be the most optimized perimeter security lighting system for your ultimate safety.
