FP1100-X - Self-Healing Fence Intrusion Detection System

Description

The FiberPatrol® FP1100-X system features the most advanced fiber-optic sensor technology available for fence-line perimeter monitoring. The FP1100-X can pinpoint the location of an intrusion attempt to within one or two fence panels. Multiple simultaneous events, such as coordinated intrusions, can be effectively detected and located. The system reports the coordinates of an attempted breach, which can be used for activating corresponding PTZ camera presets and for personnel dispatch. The location-sensing ability also enables the system to ignore non-localized disturbances, such as those produced by wind and rain.

Based on the FiberPatrol X technology, the FP1100-X is the first and only fence perimeter security system to offer cut immunity. When a fence sensor is cut, either by accident or in an attempt to defeat security, an FP1100-X system immediately reports the incident, including its exact location. Moreover, the system retains the ability to detect and pinpoint intrusion attempts up to the cut point. A self-healing sensor ring can be implemented by installing an FP1100-X sensor in a closed loop configuration. Having a self-healing FP1100-X system gives site owner an option to delay cable repairs without compromising the site security.

FiberPatrol’s passive, all-optical fiber sensor can stretch for many miles without using field repeaters, processors, or any other powered components, thereby drastically reducing the installation cost. The sensing cable is mounted directly on existing fence, requires no electrical grounding, and is unaffected by lightning storms. The per-foot cost of an installed system drops significantly with perimeter length. Using the same sensor cable for fiber-optic video and data transmission further reduces the cost of infrastructure development.

The FP1100-X intrusion detection system allows as many as 50 virtual detection zones to be defined for each mile of the perimeter fence. Each zone can be linked to a camera preset and can have its own sensitivity settings. Configured in this way, a typical installed system replaces an equivalent of 100s of legacy fence sensors, while providing higher performance at a fraction of the cost.
