Perimeter Security
Integrated physical security infrastructure with network-aware architecture
Overview
Physical security requires integration with network infrastructure. We design camera systems, access control networks, and intrusion detection infrastructure that operate reliably, provide actionable intelligence, and maintain availability during network stress or failure.
Perimeter Camera Systems
High-resolution camera coverage of perimeter and critical assets requires careful planning for optical performance, network bandwidth, and storage capacity. We design systems that capture usable video under all lighting conditions.
- Optical design and lens selection for coverage requirements
- Low-light and thermal imaging for challenging environments
- Resolution and compression balance for bandwidth efficiency
- Camera placement and mounting optimization
- Testing and validation under operational conditions
Network Architecture for Security
Security systems require dedicated network infrastructure separate from general-purpose networks. We design network segments that prioritize security system availability while maintaining security isolation.
- Dedicated network segments and VLAN design
- Quality of service policies for real-time video
- Redundant paths and failover logic
- Network segmentation and access control
- Bandwidth provisioning for video and metadata
Access Control Integration
Network-based access control systems provide centralized management of physical access. We design and implement systems that integrate badge readers, door locks, and management software.
- Badge reader selection and wiring design
- Door lock selection and integration
- Central management system configuration
- User provisioning and access rule management
- Audit logging and reporting
Intrusion Detection Infrastructure
Early detection of unauthorized access enables rapid response. We design intrusion detection systems that monitor perimeter sensors and trigger alerts before breaches occur.
- Sensor selection (motion, door, glass break)
- Sensor wiring and installation
- Monitoring system configuration and tuning
- Alert generation and escalation rules
- Integration with response procedures
System Redundancy and Availability
Security systems must maintain operation during network stress or failure. We engineer recording and alerting infrastructure with redundancy that ensures 99.9% availability.
- Redundant recording appliances and storage
- Local caching and bandwidth optimization
- Failover logic and automatic recovery
- Data integrity and corruption prevention
- Disaster recovery and backup strategies
