It has been a long time since the sole use of installed physical barriers for perimeter protection has been effective and can generate high costs in projects. Although this method of protection is always necessary, the technology market has expanded its solutions to the point of integrating intelligent intrusion systems that are remotely installed to these physical barriers, resulting in a much safer intrusion detection and protection system.
PIDS (Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems) integrate various protection methods to mitigate any type of risk to the security and integrity of the protected area.
Projects that incorporate this type of methodology generally combine various devices such as cameras, access controllers, and radars, integrating them with physical barriers like walls and gates. However, there are challenges in implementing such proposals, one of which is the ability of systems to calibrate and mitigate false alarms.
Systems like networked cameras and radars enable the use of analytical software for perimeter detection, but the choice of these devices and the analysis software is extremely important in reducing false alarms.
To better understand how detrimental a system with high rates of false alarms can be for a project, consider the example below:
“You now work monitoring intrusion systems, but with a high rate of false alarms potentially caused by rain or tree shadows, the system averages an alarm every 30 minutes. However, out of every 100 alarms, only 1 might be true. The chances of the other 99 false alarms causing fatigue in monitoring and likely distracting the professional at a critical moment are high, and consequently, all the security investment made in the project will have been wasted.”
However, there are companies and solutions specialized in perimeter detection and protection. One of the best solutions found in the world is the Axis Perimeter Defender, a solution that has achieved the first I-LIDS (Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems) certification in the world.
Its system natively integrates with the entire catalog of IP cameras, IP horns, and other components manufactured by Axis Communications, featuring a system that contains various calibration methods and detection scenarios, thus mitigating the risks of false alarms.
