A [[balustrade]] or [[Guard rail|railing]] is a fence to prevent people from falling over an edge, most commonly found on a [[stairway]], landing, or [[balcony]]. [[Stairway#The railing system|Railing systems]] and balustrades are also used along [[roof]]s, [[bridge]]s, cliffs, pits, and bodies of water.

Another aim of using fence is to limit the intrusion attempt into a property by malicious intruders. In support of these barriers there are sophisticated technologies that can be applied on fence itself and strengthen the defence of territory reducing the risk. 

The elements that reinforce the perimeter protection are:

* Detectors 
* Peripheral alarm control unit
* Means of deterrence
* Means for communicating information remotely
* remote alarm receiving unit
