FP1100-X - Self-Healing Fence Intrusion Detection System

Description

The FiberPatrol® FP1100-X embodies the next generation of the FP1100 series of location-sensing fiberoptic intrusion detection systems. The FP1100-X is the first and only fence perimeter security system that remains fully operational after the sensing cable has been severed. Using a pioneering distributed fiber loopback technology to re-route optical signals in the event of a cable cut, the FP1100-X system eliminates this common defeat mechanism, thus ensuring a previously unattainable level of perimeter security.

When a fence sensor is cut, either by accident or in an attempt to defeat the security system, an FP1100-X system immediately reports the incident, including its exact location. Moreover, the system retains the ability to detect and pinpoint intrusion attempts all the way up to and including the cut point. A self-healing sensor ring can be implemented by installing an FP1100-X sensor in a closed loop configuration. Using an FP1100-X system also gives a site owner an option to delay any cable repairs for as long as necessary without compromising the site security.

In addition to cut immunity, the FiberPatrol FP1100-X system has all of the essential features and benefits of the FP1100 series, whether the cable is intact or has sustained a cut. The system reports GPS coordinates of an attempted breach, which can be used for activating corresponding PTZ camera presets or for personnel dispatch. The location-sensing ability of an FP1100-X system enables it to ignore non-localized disturbances, such as those produced by wind. The FP1100-X is immune to defeat by multiple simultaneous intrusions.

Any existing FP1100 installation can be upgraded to an X version without replacing the installed sensor cable. The same cable can be used for fiberoptic video and data transmission, which can also be implemented in a self-healing loop configuration. In many cases, an FP1100-X system can be deployed on an already installed fiberoptic cable, whether intended for sensing or communication.
