This is according to the lat- est research by analysts from Market- sandmarkets™, and they also report that they believe the growth of this market is primarily driven by the rise in terror attacks worldwide. The increasing technological de- velopments in video surveillance is said to have fueled the demand for perimeter security systems and ser- vices. Furthermore, the increased us- age of the Internet of Things (IoT) is also expected to be contributing to the growth of the perimeter security mar- ket, the firm reported. Based on systems, the research- ers have sub-segmented the perimeter security market into perimeter intru- sion detection systems, video surveil- lance systems, access control systems, alarms and notification systems, and others (fencing, lighting, and detec- tion devices for metals, explosives, drugs, and chemicals). The video surveillance systems segment is estimated to lead the pe- rimeter security market between 2017 and 2022. The increasing use of video sur- veillance systems, especially in the commercial and services, industrial, and military and defense verticals for protecting the organization of assets is said to be enhancing the growth of the video surveillance systems segment in the perimeter security market. The increasing incidence of crimes, such as theft of physical as well as data/information, has led to the need for security systems to pro- tect not only the property owners, but the property as well. With this intention, corporate or- ganizations are investing substantial amounts to protect sensitive data and their employees. The high demand for security systems in large and small retail businesses aims at reducing rob- bery and inventory loss. In the commercial sector, finan- cial institutions and banks are greatly in need of video surveillance systems, to provide security to the buildings, maintain cash management, and mon- itor customer and staff activities. These factors enhance the secu- rity parameters and drive the need for video surveillance systems in the commercial sector. The North American perimeter security market is projected to domi- nate during the forecast period. The growth of this market can be attributed to the increasing need for security against terrorist activities, strict government regulations for safe- ty and security, rising illegal immi- gration, technological developments in physical security solutions, and the increasing criminal activities in North America. The report encompasses the com- petitive landscape, which presents the positioning of the 25 key perimeter security systems and services ven- dors, based on their product offerings and business strategies.

Terrorism expected to drive growth in perimeter security market Knowing the basics helps in the safe use of hand tools A basic knowledge of a striking or struck tool's design is helpful for using it properly and safely, according to the Hand Tools Institute (HTI), a trade as- sociation of American and Canadian manufacturers of hand tools. The faces of striking and struck tools are designed to direct the force of a blow to the center or body of the tool where it can be absorbed. Off-center blows send the shock along the sides of a tool where there is insufficient backup material. Rather than cushioning the blow, the effect is shearing, which can be dangerous. Struck tools for cutting have edg- es designed for maximum cut and durability by means of the angle and thickness of the cutting edge. Many failures and possible injury are caused by a dull cutting edge be- cause the tool can no longer function as it was intended. Next to the common nail hammer, perhaps the most widely used type is the ball pein hammer which, by its design, underlines the importance of selecting the right tool for a specif- ic job. The ball pein hammer has a rounded, slightly crowned striking face with bevelled edges and a round, ball-shaped pein on the opposite end of the head. Ball pein hammers of the proper size are designed for striking chisels and punches and for riveting, shaping and straightening unhardened metal. When used for striking a struck tool, the ball pein's face should have a diameter at least 3/8 inches larger than the face of the struck tool. Using the ball pein hammer safely means always striking squarely with the hammer's striking face parallel to the struck surface. Glancing blows should be avoided to minimize chipping the hammer's face. Never strike with the side or cheek of the hammer. How a tool is used is just as im- portant as what kind of tool you have chosen for a particular job. Tools should not be accessible to those who haven't been briefed on their proper use and selection. Founded in 1935, the Hand Tools Institute has maintained a consumer safety education program aimed at re- ducing the number of accidents result- ing from the misuse of striking and struck tools.
