Perimeter Security Industries SecureMat

According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, an estimated 30% of residential builders are affected by theft and vandalism each year. The SecureMat, developed by Perimeter Security Industries (PSI), can help builders take pre-emptive action to prevent construction site crime.

The product is a versatile optical-fibre mat for area and intruder detection. The fibre-optic cable within the mat is compressed when an intruder stands on it. The company’s control electronics can instantly analyse the signal to determine if the disturbance is a person or some other event such as a windblown object, rodent or stray animal. If it is a person, the mat will trigger a deterrent alarm and simultaneously send an SMS to a home base.

Easy to install and remove for temporary installations, the mat has very low power demands and can easily be powered from alternative sources such as solar panels and UPS battery packs for weekend use or around parked equipment or building sites. The product is capable of being left exposed to all weather conditions.
