Strategic Asset Protection

Perimeter Security Monitoring using OptaSense distributed fiber-optic monitoring system. When you need to protect your most valuable assets, you need a security and surveillance system that you can count on. But many systems can be easily bypassed or fail to provide rapid, reliable alerts— leaving your assets vulnerable to infiltration.

OptaSense provides cutting-edge border security solutions and perimeter surveillance systems that safeguard your infrastructure and assets using advanced distributed acoustic sensing technology capable of identifying and locating multiple threats in real time, with point-locating capabilities to 10m.

Unlike conventional sensors, the OptaSense Distributed Acoustic Sensing-based system provides multi-threat detection, significantly reduces false alarms and provides seamless, cost effective installation.

Multiple Threat Detection

Instead of simply providing an alarm, OptaSense DAS technology can detect, classify and precisely locate a number of activities, including people, vehicle movement, low flying aircraft, manual and mechanical digging, gunfire and many others.

Reliable Detection Alarms

Unlike conventional buried sensors, the PIDS system significantly reduces nuisance alarms using reliable algorithms that decipher and classify the type of intrusion in real time. Users can be notified of alarms via text or email, and by leveraging GPS coordinates, the system can pinpoint the location of a security breach within seconds.

With this information, asset owners can increase the effectiveness of response mechanisms, such as patrols and helicopter reconnaissance, by ensuring manual inspection is focused on areas of real activity.

Seamless Instalation

In addition to simplifying the installation process, the PIDS system can be customized to meet the demands of the perimeter it is protecting. The system offers three types of installation: fence, buried or hybrid. A hybrid installation provides additional design flexibility and added security on fence and buried systems, as well as some water applications utilizing the same processor. The system can also be run in stealth mode for high security areas.The system is software based, allowing easy alterations to perimeter adjustments and/or changes to the number of zones being monitored. The system is also easily integrated with other systems and sensors, such as CCTV cameras and VMSS, for a more robust security management solution.
