1 How to Solve the Most Persistent Problem in Perimeter Security Systems Duane Thompson General Manager of Fiber SenSys Carrondo, Antonio Commercial Manager, Teleprinta

2 Perimeter Security Challenging!! More important than ever to detect intruders as early as possible Components of a perimeter security system Understand your threat Expect performance? Then expect to plan and design Very demanding environment

3 Components in a Perimeter System Deterrence Detect Delay Assess Respond

4 Deterrence Make some protection elements visible to the adversary warning signs Roaming patrols Clean facilities good lighting. Promote the perception of a high level of security Publicize and enforce

5 Detection Detection occurs before delay Must be properly installed and integrated Redundancy for critical elements. Incorporate complementary technologies Low nuisance and false alarm rate with a high probability of detection Able to detect tampering by the adversary Should be reliable and robust to the environment. Maintain and test Matched with assessment

6 Delay Combination of hardware and/or response personnel Balance safety with delay Use threat assessment to determine delay requirements Delays should be integrated into the facility design, which will help minimize the effect delay systems have on safety features Validate delay time

7 Response Integrated response plan must be developed Regular training Work with trusted people

8 Understand the Threat Equipment Weapons Method of Attack Knowledge of Facilities Insider cooperation Training Funding motivation Probability Threat Assessment

9 Outdoor Sensor Considerations: Perceived threat level Effectiveness of the sensor Against the threat Site conditions Environment Sensor costs Cost of ownership Outdoor sensors can be classified into four groups: Volumetric sensors, Fence mounted sensors, Video motion detection sensors Barrier sensors

10 Outdoor Sensor Types Outdoor sensors can be classified into four groups: Volumetric sensors, Fence mounted sensors, Video motion detection sensors Barrier sensors

11 Volumetric Sensors Volumetric sensors generate an invisible detection field that locates intruders moving through that field. As the field of detection is invisible, these sensors are very difficult to evade. Immune to most environmental conditions, these sensors are often used in sterile zones and may be totally covert.

12 Fence Mounted Sensors Fence and wall associated sensors are above ground detection sensors that are attached to an existing fence or wall. They detect intrusion when an intruder disturbs the detection field or when vibration due to cutting or climbing on a metal fabric fence causes an alarm.

13 Match the right technologies with your environment and security level Look at your perimeter security as a total solution Ensure the equipment is installed right and is maintained Ensure that alarm assessment aligns with sensors and asset protection requirements Set realistic performance expectations

14 Video Motion Detection Sensors A Video motion detection system transforms the assessment only ability of CCTV cameras by analysing the video output signal to create the detection field. Video Motion Detection also provides additional information to help identify the source of an alarm and whether or not it is valid.

15 Barrier Sensors Barrier sensors are a two in one security option. They provide both a barrier to intrusion and a sensor system for detection. Taut wire sensors are an example of a barrier sensor that offers an almost zero False Alarm Rate and unsurpassed Probability of Detection. These sensors have virtually no environmental limitations and are able to provide reliable service for many years.

16 A quality outdoor security system demonstrates a significant return on investment by reducing the risk of theft, damage or personal injury.
