Everything You Need to Know About Perimeter Early Detection System (PEDS)
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all model for security solutions. And if your home or business is a particularly large estate, or sits on a sizable amount of property, you may want to explore more advanced upgrades to your security systems. One option we recommend at ACS is installing a Perimeter Early Detection System.
A Perimeter Early Detection System, or PEDS, is comprised of an array of ultra violet sensors that provide early warning to home or business owners. The system detects possible intruders and alerts home or business owners much faster than a standard home alarm system. In standard home alarm systems, sensors are usually installed on doors, windows and other home entry points. But in the case of PEDS, the system is installed on points farther outside of the home or business.
Some ways Perimeter Early Detection Systems can be utilized include:
- A sensor on an outside gate or initial entry point outside of the main structure
- Point to point motion sensors surrounding a property’s perimeter
- Wide-range motion sensors to detect intruders over a larger area
When a PEDS alarm is triggered, it initiates a very loud alert on-property. Like your home system, the alert could potentially discourage an intruder before they even reach your home. And as a home or business owner, it gives you an extra head start to respond. Early detection means even more time for you to take the appropriate action required – from alerting authorities and first responders to moving to a safer location.
And the best part? PEDS integrates seamlessly with your home alarm system and can be controlled directly through your key pad or smart home app. And if you subscribe to patrol by ACS, a triggered alarm will also initiate a patrol response.
