Perimeter Protection and Intrusion Detection
A perimeter is judged on false alarms per night: after the third nuisance alarm the guard stops walking. Seven nights are measured before a recommendation.
A perimeter system is judged on one number: false alarms per night.
Everything else follows from it. After the third nuisance alarm in a shift, the response stops being a response. The guard walks slower, then stops walking. A perimeter with a high nuisance rate is not a partially working perimeter. It is an unused one.
Failure behaviour is stated. If a zone controller drops, the adjacent zones report the gap, the loss raises an alarm in its own right, and the time to service that zone is in the contract.
Where SECCOM stops. The response itself, who goes, and how quickly, belongs to your security agency and your site orders. SECCOM builds the detection and the verification that make the response worth making.
