Palisade-style fences can provide a high-level of security in an aesthetically pleasing package. Available in cut and crash-resistant versions, they provide wall-like protection while retaining perimeter visibility.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, aesthetics don\u2019t stop intruders. An additional layer of security can turn any fence into a smart fence, one that deters and detects would-be intruders.<\/p>\n
The Senstar LM100<\/a> Hybrid Perimeter Intrusion Detection and Intelligent Lighting<\/a> System provides targeted LED-based illumination along the fence line. Additionally, its embedded sensors detect any attempts to climb or break the fence.<\/p>\n Installing the Senstar LM100 on a palisade-style fence is similar to that of other fence types. Each luminaire includes two stainless steel clamps for mounting. Depending on the post shape and size, self-tapping screws may be used instead. In addition, many palisade fences include cable-conduit functionality along their horizontal rails, which can be used to both hide and protect the luminaire power cables.<\/p>\n Calibration of the intrusion detection sensors is the same as with other fence<\/a> types. First, perform a \u201cbuzz\u201d test to generate a profile specific to the fence\u2019s response characteristics. Next, adjust the alarm threshold levels accordingly. The Senstar LM100\u2019s accelerometer-based sensor can detect the smallest of vibrations, ensuring climb attacks are detected (regardless of fence construction) while advanced algorithms reject disturbances generated by environmental effects.<\/p>\n Below are examples of a palisade fence protected with the Senstar LM100.<\/p>\n
