A jobsite at Temple University bordering dense residential neighborhood had a temporary fence to protect deep excavation pit, but fence panels on uneven ground had up to 10” gaps below them to ground — plenty of room for a child to slip through.

Traditional security alarms go into alarm once the intruders are in your building. Then the intruders can grab and go, or arsonists can burn and go. You need to protect your core. You need to stop intruders before they get near your core. Detect them near the perimeter. Traditional video surveillance systems just record events and do not prevent intruders getting in.
