X = response time of the security provider:
Security assessment response time: However, if the alarm triggers outside the fence, the criminal still needs to enter and exit, greatly reducing their chances of escaping within X time. Studies indicate that when a criminal is detected at the fence, they are likely to abandon their intention to commit the crime.
It is crucial to consider the security company’s response time once the alarm is triggered.
If the alarm triggers at the property line during a breach, the criminals still need to enter and exit. Therefore reducing their chances of escape within X time.

Studies suggest that detecting criminals at the perimeter line increases the likelihood that some will abandon their intention to commit the crime and target a different property.
It’s important not to assume the reaction time. Reviewing previous incidents where the alarm triggered on-site helps calculate the average response time accurately to determine Time-X.
Alwinco measures Time X. Please read your risk assessment report and focus on the time X section. Read more.
