Hallway had transition that was not to code, consisting of a single step 1 ¾” high. We recommended installing ramp of 1:10 slope and side railing to meet code, and also directing spotlight onto area and painting contrasting color on riser. Other walkways had slope less than 1:10. We recommended painting light colored band of flowers or patterns and directing light onto area as temporary measure, and correcting slope as permanent measure.
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.
Exteriors are naturally a first line of defense. But outdoor areas were considered poorly controllable by the security and alarm industry due to a high rate of false alarms from the available technology at the time. Fences decrease the number of random intruders but obviously can easily be cut, pried under, climbed over and defeated. You want to stop people before they get near your core.
