4 There are a number of aspects that are re essential to consider. These are ..essential to consider. These are ..Risk of Nuisance AlarmsRisk of Nuisance Alarms When putting a sensor on the boundary or Perimeter , the risk of When putting a sensor on the boundary or Perimeter , the risk of nuisance alarms increasesnuisance alarms increases This is related to how much activity exists on the outside of tThis is related to how much activity exists on the outside of the he Perimeter (human and wildlife) as well as factors such as trees Perimeter (human and wildlife) as well as factors such as trees and other plant growthand other plant growth If the sensor is placed on a boundary structure, such as a fencIf the sensor is placed on a boundary structure, such as a fence, e, the integrity of the structure itself becomes a major issuethe integrity of the structure itself becomes a major issue There is absolutely no single type of technology that will fit There is absolutely no single type of technology that will fit every every application, but a Fiber Optic Perimeter system makes the most application.
