subject: Electric Fence Is The Most Efficient And Trusted Security System You Can Use To Secure Your Perimete [print this page] With so much being said about the need for installation of advanced security measures for the safety of your home and family makes one wonder whether it is the right time to install electric fencing. Unlike in the past when electric fencing were used only to keep wild animals away from damaging corps or killing farm animals, the electric fence technology has evolved largely. Companies who offer security services to residence and commercial establishments and manufacturers of security products soon realized the potential of electric fence use in their service areas. After various researches, they have finally devised a security system that can now deter even the most desperate criminal from crossing over the fence.
Working in similar principal as their ancestors, electric fencing are highly developed an sophisticated fencing system that is attached to an energizer. An energizes works more like a transformer in that it converts low voltage electricity to a very high enough voltage to create a shock that will be enough to discourage any individual from crossing over. Although the fence induces high voltage of electricity they are reasonably harmless and non-lethal to the person experiencing the shock. This is because of the cleaver introduction of device that continually turns the electricity on and off, alternating between high voltage and without any electricity with the fence wire. This alternation reduces the time of exposure of the person the to the shock hence, manages to give a strong yet safe blow. This sudden high voltage shock is a good enough gesture to encourage the criminal to move along leaving your property untouched.
Since it may seem a bit rude to not let the intruder know when he is likely to encounter if he tries to cross over, it is required that all electric fence have a warning sign indicating that the fence is live.
Compared to any other type of security fencing, installation of electric fencing is expensive. In order to make the security fencing more cost effective they are generally used in addition to other type of security fences. For example, instead of using an electric fence that is above six foot in height, one may easily bring down the cost by putting a security fence of his choice and then adding an electric fence above that to cut down the cost. Not only does such arrangement cut down on installation cost, it is also safe for other persons on the house and the neighborhood if they accidently come in contact with the fence.
Almost all metal fences available in the United Kingdom today can be fitted with an electric fencing system on top. Whether you select a mesh security fence or electric fencing can easily be attached atop of them with ease.
The modern day timer system is another product that electric fencing is used with. In most of the cases, it is not necessary to keep the electric fencing turned on throughout the day. Most people prefer to turn on the electric fencing at night where there is little light and neighborhood activities and the property is vulnerable. Automatic timers will turn on the electric supply and turn them off at a particular time.
The best part about electric fencing is that if turned on it can provide security for up to ten hours even in a blackout. This makes electric fencing the most efficient premises security mechanism in use today.
