Perimeter Security in New England
The New England states offer an enticing mix of wilderness, rural communities and larger cities. Businesses are located in all of them and can make appealing targets for criminals. Opportunities for thieves abound, from sparsely populated areas to deserted industrial complexes at night. Regardless of its size, no police force can watch over your commercial property around the clock. AMAROK can.

Why Proactive Perimeter Security Matters in New England
Any New England business can fall victim to crime, but regional characteristics create unique security issues:
- Rural: These communities typically have fewer resources to invest in law enforcement as well as smaller police forces in general. Remote and poorly lit areas offer thieves plenty of cover, making it harder for patrols to access them. Quick, effective responses to criminal activity are more challenging as a result.
- Urban: Similar issues exist in metropolitan areas, where crime is generally higher. Increased incidents pull larger police forces in multiple directions. Fewer officers are available to respond to a breach, even when you meet dual-verification requirements.
- Suburban: New England is home to many affluent suburbs. Criminals presume that thriving, growing businesses in these areas have high-value assets on-site, making them attractive targets.
Theft can cause commercial organizations without comprehensive perimeter security systems to experience negative impacts like:
- Financial losses due to stolen assets
- Operational disruptions that result in costly downtime
- Time spent navigating insurance claims — often followed by denials, skyrocketing premiums, or canceled coverage
- Reputational damage and erosion of customer trust that can lead to future revenue losses
Proactive perimeter security is the best approach to mitigate these risks. Investing in robust, multi-layered security at your property’s boundary helps prevent external theft by stopping criminals before they can gain access.
Go Beyond Cameras and Alarms With a Multi-Layered Strategy
Installing cameras and alarms — and thinking that’s enough — is a common pitfall for many businesses. While these measures can contribute to a multi-layered security strategy, alarms and cameras on their own have the following limitations.
The Issue With Stand-Alone Cameras
Using cameras as a stand-alone security solution is ineffective for multiple reasons:
- They’re passive security measures that can’t and don’t actively prevent or stop crime.
- Stand-alone cameras don’t deter crime, and thieves willingly risk video capture for the reward of high-value assets.
- Technology can quickly become obsolete, and upgrading to stay compliant can be costly.
- Thieves can quickly render some stand-alone cameras useless with wireless signal jammers.
- Power outages can disable stand-alone cameras without access to a backup energy source.
- Improper placement and installation can result in visibility gaps.
- Debris, vegetation, or environmental lighting conditions can lead to poor image quality.
- They typically lack features like motion detection or real-time alerts, which can make a quick response time difficult.
The Issue With Stand-Alone Alarms
Relying solely on alarms for protection is also unwise and ineffective. These systems frequently issue false alerts, especially when New England weather escalates. Rain storms, high winds, and heavy snow can trigger sensitive sensors.
The resources that law enforcement devotes to these incidents have spurred many departments to change response protocols. Some have begun charging businesses that exceed two false alarms where police respond. Others have implemented video verification requirements before responding to calls. However, even when a stand-alone alarm is triggered during an intrusion, it is not enough to stop or prevent the crime from occurring.
The Importance of Multiple Security Layers
A layered approach to security measures is pivotal in eliminating the risks associated with dependence on cameras and alarms alone. It also optimizes protection by strengthening your overall security. Consider integrating the following proven options to build a unified, comprehensive strategy for detecting, deterring, and delaying crime:
- Physical barriers, like fences
- Access control measures, such as property-entry gates
- Credential readers
- Alarm-based lighting solutions
Why Install an Electric Fence?
Installing electric fencing in New England is the smarter approach to perimeter security. Our customized solutions effectively deter and help prevent crime better than conventional methods like security guards. We tailor our electric fencing systems to your property’s specific risks and needs.
The Electric Guard Dog™ Fence is our most popular choice for robust protection with:
- Imposing structure: We greet potential thieves with a formidable physical barrier that visually reminds them you’ve taken security measures.
- Unwanted attention: If criminals attempt to breach the fence, sirens and ultra-bright LED lights capture attention and encourage them to flee.
- Shock deterrent: The fence introduces a safe but memorable 7,000-volt shock to would-be intruders who contact it.
AMAROK offers security as a service, which means there is no upfront investment required from you. We customize, install, maintain, and repair your system for one fixed monthly subscription fee.
