What is a passive security system?

A passive security system is a type of security measure that relies on physical barriers and environmental design to deter crime without the need for active monitoring or intervention. Examples include sturdy locks, security fences, well-lit areas, and natural surveillance through landscaping. These systems focus on preventing unauthorized access and enhancing safety through design rather than electronic devices or personnel. By creating obstacles or reducing opportunities for criminal activity, passive security systems contribute to overall safety and crime prevention.
