# [WATCH: What are 3 key components of a Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS)?](https://blog.midches.com/blog/3-key-components-perimeter-intrusion-detection-system-pids)

Last week, we discussed three key technologies commonly included in perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS): fence disturbance detection, buried cable system detection, and microwave detection. Tim Claus, from Southwest Microwave, broke down all three technologies in these short explainer videos...plus he covered what a PIDS is, what site commissioning entails, and the value-add that Southwest Microwave brings to every perimeter security project.
