From Detection to Action: Closing the Loop on Perimeter Security


When it comes to high-security sites, detecting a threat is only the first step. What happens next, how fast you respond, who’s alerted, and which actions are triggered, can make the difference between a contained incident and a critical breach. 

Integrated perimeter security solutions

That’s why the collaboration between Cortech Developments and Hirsch UK (formerly Harper Chalice) continues to deliver outstanding value. Together, we’re closing the loop on perimeter security by combining advanced intrusion detection with intelligent automation and control. 

Real-Time Data Fusion for Real-World Threats 

At the heart of this integration is Datalog, Cortech’s modular software platform, which receives real-time alerts from Hirsch’s high-performance perimeter detection systems, including the latest NPSA approved HatchSecure solution.

Rather than simply triggering a local alarm, these alerts are instantly analysed and acted upon via Datalog, automating actions such as: 

  • Triggering PTZ camera presets for live visual verification 
  • Locking down access points in proximity to the breach 
  • Sending priority alerts to control room operators 
  • Initiating guided response procedures to ensure consistency 
  • Creating full audit trails for incident analysis and compliance 

This seamless flow from detection to decision transforms how teams manage site security, particularly in time-sensitive or high-risk environments such as prisons, utilities, data centres, or border facilities. 

Unified Security with Reduced Risk 

By integrating Hirsch’s market-leading perimeter systems with Datalog’s powerful alarm handling, organisations benefit from:  

  • Faster response times 
  • Fewer false alarms 
  • Greater situational awareness 
  • More consistent procedures under pressure 
  • Improved compliance and post-incident reporting 

And because both solutions are designed with scalability and flexibility in mind, the same approach can be applied across multiple sites or as part of phased upgrade projects, future-proofing your perimeter protection strategy.  

From Collaboration to Confidence 

Cortech and Hirsch have a shared goal: to deliver smarter, more effective security solutions that help protect people, assets, and critical operations. Our integrated approach moves beyond isolated systems and empowers teams with the tools, automation, and visibility they need to respond with confidence, every time.
