High-profile individuals, such as business owners, diplomats, celebrities and those with high incomes, are not only viable targets for opportunistic theft but also bear an increased risk of targeted assault, kidnapping, or even assassination.  Their homes often occupy large areas with numerous hiding spots, which can aid criminals in approaching the residence or parking areas.

Consequently, alarm system requirements for these residences are significantly higher than for typical homes.  Perimeter security, in particular, is an essential element, as it is always active and provides the earliest possible warning of an intrusion attempt.
