How Do I Know Which Security Solution I Need?
Table of Contents
Criminals will target any vulnerability they can find in commercial property defenses, especially if sites have large perimeters, valuable assets, and predictable operational schedules. There are many security options available, but choosing the right system to achieve real ROI can be challenging.
Perimeter protection is your most critical layer of defense. A strong perimeter keeps criminals out, preventing external theft and vandalism before intruders can reach your assets. AMAROK provides award-winning perimeter security solutions to over 9,000 customers in a variety of industries. This guide will help you assess your vulnerabilities, compare AMAROK solutions, and match the right system to your business’s requirements.
Assess Your Vulnerabilities
Identifying vulnerabilities is the first step in determining which solution best fits your commercial business. Before comparing security systems, you need to understand your current risk profile. At AMAROK, we can conduct a threat assessment to evaluate local crime trends and identify your site’s weaknesses.
With the findings of your risk assessment in mind, the next step is to create a comprehensive security strategy tailored to your specific business. Instead of taking a reactive approach, where you respond only after incidents have already occurred, your company can adopt a more proactive strategy, where you prevent incidents before they happen. Since a single physical security breach can cost thousands of dollars, keeping criminals off your property with a proactive strategy is the most cost-effective option.
Ask yourself these questions before choosing a security solution:
Inventory, equipment, vehicle fleets, intellectual property, buildings, and employees all require protection.
Theft of materials or vehicles, vandalism, trespassing, copper wire theft, and catalytic converter theft are common challenges. The most significant threats will depend on your location, industry, and site layout.
Traditional systems often require high installation fees, separate maintenance contracts, and equipment replacement costs. With AMAROK’s security-as-a-service model, there are zero up-front costs and just one predictable monthly payment. In addition, consider how much your company can invest in perimeter security as an operating expense (OPEX) to prevent crime-related financial losses and disruptions.
Compare Security Systems
AMAROK offers four main multi-layered perimeter security solutions. Each one addresses different security challenges, risk levels, and site requirements, but all are built on our proven, three-layer defense of a physical barrier, a medically safe shock, and integrated alarms:
This solution is the essential baseline for most commercial properties. The Electric Guard Dog Fence is an imposing barrier that delivers a safe but memorable shock to would-be intruders. Integrated sirens and ultrabright LED lights trigger when the fence alarm is activated. The solar-powered design with battery backup ensures continuous operation during power outages. This electric fence is best for most commercial facilities, including logistics centers, distribution warehouses, equipment yards, and self-storage facilities.
Our highest-level solution offers maximum deterrence for high-risk environments. It amplifies the standard fence with 10 additional monitored electric wires and three times more support poles for increased resilience. This electric fence is best suited for high-crime urban neighborhoods, heavy equipment storage yards, metal recycling yards, and any facilities that store high-value, easy-to-resell assets.
This multi-layered system integrates electric fencing, video surveillance, and video monitoring into a single solution. Security teams monitor your site 24/7 and verify threats to enable swift responses. Video evidence also supports insurance claims and criminal prosecution. FORTIFEYE is best for dealerships with high-value inventory and businesses in jurisdictions where police may deprioritize unverified alarms.
Protect your site even as your perimeter boundary fluctuates with portable electric fencing. This solar-powered fencing is adjustable as boundaries change, and can move with your team from one jobsite to the next as projects are completed. Portable electric fencing is best for active construction sites, seasonal operations, sites with a shifting perimeter, and remote sites without easy grid access.
