Designed Around the Property, Not Added as an Afterthought
Perimeter Beam Systems are designed around the way people approach, enter and move around a property. Amaro Electronics assesses driveways, side access paths, rear boundaries, gates and other outdoor risk areas to create an early-warning layer before an intruder reaches the building.
The system can integrate with the alarm, CCTV recording, keypad notifications, mobile alerts and back-to-base monitoring. The external perimeter may also operate separately from the internal house, allowing occupants to remain inside while selected outdoor areas stay armed.
More Than an Alarm Inside the Building
Traditional internal sensors normally respond after entry. Photoelectric beams create an additional layer outside by detecting when the required infrared beams between a transmitter and receiver are interrupted.
Early Warning
Detect a protected boundary being crossed before a door, window or internal room is compromised.
Targeted Detection
Protect side access paths, gates, rear yards, driveways, external boundaries and other selected risk areas.
Integrated Response
Trigger compatible alarm events, recording, monitoring, outdoor sirens, notifications, lights or programmed outputs.
Arm the Perimeter While Your Family Remains Inside
Compatible alarm systems can separate the internal house from the external perimeter. This allows the outdoor protection to remain armed while occupants move normally inside the home.
Internal House
Internal movement detectors, doors, windows and other protected indoor areas.
External Perimeter
Side access, rear yard, driveway, gate, external boundary and other selected outdoor beam zones.
Choose How Each Perimeter Event Responds
A perimeter event does not always need to activate every sounder. Responses can be designed around the household, the time of day and the level of risk at the protected zone.
Detection Supported by CCTV and Professional Monitoring
A beam event can identify the affected zone and support immediate recording or video verification. Depending on the property, the camera design may include fixed cameras, 180-degree cameras, ANPR at a suitable vehicle entry, active-deterrence cameras with speakers or warning lights, and PTZ cameras where broader acreage coverage is appropriate.
Power and Recording Backup Options
A professional security design should not rely on a single recording point. Compatible systems may include UPS or external battery backup for the NVR, network equipment and selected cameras.
Selected cameras may also support onboard microSD recording, while compatible platforms may offer off-site or cloud recording. These options can provide additional evidence paths if the main recorder is disconnected, damaged or removed.
Positioned for Reliable Outdoor Detection
Correct detector selection, mounting height, alignment, cabling, environmental assessment and programming are essential for reliable operation outdoors.
Multi-beam photoelectric detectors can be designed to reduce unnecessary activations by requiring the appropriate beams to be interrupted before an alarm condition is generated.
Awareness Around the Property
Depending on the design, perimeter zones may also provide awareness when someone crosses a selected path or boundary around the property.
Pool or Outdoor Access
Receive an additional notification when a selected access path toward a pool or outdoor area is crossed.
Visitors and Vehicles
Identify activity at a driveway, gate or access path when a visitor, delivery or vehicle crosses the protected zone.
Night-Time Movement
Receive early warning when someone moves through a protected external area during the night.
One System. Three Layers of Protection.
Amaro Electronics can design the photoelectric beams, CCTV, alarm, professional monitoring and active internal deterrence to work as a coordinated security response.
Detect and Verify
Photoelectric beams identify the affected outdoor zone. CCTV can record the event, while compatible monitored systems may support remote video verification of the exact location.
Alert and Deter
Outdoor sirens, speakers, warning lights, strobes, mobile alerts and back-to-base alarm monitoring can generate an immediate external response.
Protect the Interior
If a confirmed intruder continues into a designated internal area, a professionally designed security fog system can provide the next active layer by rapidly restricting usable visibility.
