The main goal in all perimeter detection is to give the impression that the house and property are occupied and monitored at all times. Most perimeter alarm systems are designed to trigger outdoor security lighting or alert a home monitoring service.

Solid fences can involve fiber-optic sensors that trigger an alarm and contact patrolling security units. These items can be purchased for between $100 - $250/ linear foot.

But you don't need to spend a lot of money to implement effective deterrents. Setting up accent lighting systems involving easy-to-install patio lighting and perimeter floodlights that are activated through motion detection can offer very effective protection.

Outdoor lighting perimeter detection has some features worth considering:

Six lights can appear as bright as two car headlights

Many outdoor lights operate with a low volt system (12 volt), which makes installation safe and usage cost effective.

Power packs are available for outdoor lighting to protect against loss of power.

Cable and cords for outdoor lighting are strong enough to be protected against all forms of weather, and can be buried in the ground easily.

Usually outdoor lighting comes with a photo-electric cell and a control box with four settings that allow you to activate the system either manually or automatically.
