Electric Fencing vs. Smart Cameras: The Superior Choice for Security
When it comes to safeguarding your property, the debate between electric fencing and smart cameras often arises. While smart cameras can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive security system, they are not a substitute for the robust protection that electric fencing offers. Here’s why electric fencing stands out as a superior choice for security:
The Physical and Psychological Barrier
Electric fencing provides both a physical and psychological barrier against intruders. The physical deterrent is evident: a high-voltage electric fence delivers a safe but unpleasant shock to anyone who attempts to breach it. This shock serves as an immediate and effective deterrent, making it clear that unauthorized access will not be tolerated.
On the psychological front, electric fencing creates a sense of security that smart cameras alone cannot match. When an intruder encounters an electric fence, they are not only faced with a physical barrier but also the fear of being caught. The psychological impact of an electric fence is significant—an intruder feels trapped and vulnerable, especially when they realize their only exit is the point of entry, which may be blocked or difficult to access.
Delays and Alarms
Electric fencing excels in delaying intruders. The shock provided by the fence slows down their progress, giving you crucial time to respond to the breach. Moreover, electric fences are equipped with tamper alarms that activate if the fence is disturbed or tampered with. This immediate alert allows for a rapid response and helps prevent potential intrusions before they escalate.
Smart Cameras: A Complementary Tool
While electric fencing provides an effective barrier and alarm system, smart cameras can still play a role in a well-rounded security strategy. Cameras are useful for monitoring and recording events, allowing for post-incident analysis and verification of alarms. However, their primary function is surveillance rather than deterrence. They can validate alarms triggered by electric fences or other security measures but are not a replacement for the physical protection electric fencing offers.
Conclusion
In summary, electric fencing offers a comprehensive security solution that combines both physical and psychological deterrents. It delays intruders, provides immediate alarms, and creates a feeling of entrapment that significantly reduces the likelihood of a successful breach. Smart cameras can enhance your security system, but they should be viewed as a supplementary tool rather than a substitute for the robust protection provided by electric fencing.
For optimal security, consider integrating both electric fencing and smart cameras into your security strategy. This combination ensures you have the physical deterrent, psychological barrier, and monitoring capabilities needed to protect your property effectively.

Electric fencing lightning protection products and features from Nemtek
Lightning is pretty to watch but can be devastating if it strikes your property and renders your electrical devices, including your energizer and electric fence, non-operational.
The good news for your electric fence is that all Nemtek Energizers have extensive lightning protection built into the units to help reduce the possibility of damage caused by lightning strikes. By adding an additional external lightning protector, which by law you are required to have, you will reduce the likelihood of a power surge coming through the fence wires to the energizer.
Double Pole Lightning Inhibitor
The Nemtek Double pole lightning inhibitor and diverter offers a two pronged approach. Firstly in inhibits the lightning surge from damaging the energizers and secondly it diverts any lightning surge away from the energizers into the ground through the earth spikes. You will require one lightning inhibitor and diverter for a single zone security energizer, and two lightning inhibitor and diverters for a dual zone energizer.
Protection from surges coming through the mains as opposed to the fence is also available from Nemtek.
Features:
Built-in lightning inhibitor, inhibits lightning from getting to the energizer.
Built-in lightning diverter, diverts the lightning from the energizer into the earth spikes
External cover and stainless steel components for use outdoors near the fence

Minimize False Alarms in Security Energizers with Nemtek’s unique APT (Adaptive Power Technology)
With APT, the energizer pulse responds to changing environmental factors (such as changes in weather and vegetation growth on the fence), and adapts to the changing needs of the fence by maximising fence power and efficiency. By constantly monitoring and adapting power output, APT reduces false alarms, ensuring reliable security operations.
False alarms can be a nuisance and waste valuable time for security professionals. Nemtek’s energizer range with APT technology is here to solve that problem by ensuring maximum power is delivered to the electric fence while minimising power losses along the fence line.
Trust Nemtek’s APT-enabled energizer range for enhanced security efficiency.
