Why each option

24/7 physical perimeter monitoring requires a solution that continuously records and displays visual coverage of entry points and surrounding areas. CCTV camera systems are the standard solution for this requirement.

AUse fences in the entrance doors.

Fences are physical deterrents and barriers, not monitoring tools - they prevent unauthorized entry but provide no visibility or recording of activity.

BInstall a CCTV with cameras pointing to the entrance doors and the street.Correct

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems provide continuous, recorded visual monitoring of physical perimeters and entrance points around the clock. Cameras can be positioned to cover both the entrance doors and the street, giving security personnel real-time visibility and recorded evidence. This directly addresses the CEO's requirement for 24-hour perimeter and door monitoring.

CUse an IDS in the entrance doors and install some of them near the corners.

An IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is a network security tool that monitors digital traffic for threats, not a physical perimeter monitoring solution.

DUse lights in all the entrance doors and along the company's perimeter.

Lighting improves visibility for human guards but does not provide automated 24-hour monitoring, recording, or alerting on its own.
