Perimeter Security Sensor Technologies Handbook
Perimeter Security Sensor Technologies Handbook is intended to be used as a sensor selection reference during the design and planning of perimeter security systems
The Handbook is organized into four sections.
Section One includes this Overview of a dozen factors to be considered prior to selecting a suite of perimeter detection sensors.
Section Two consists of a description of each of the twenty-eight (28) Detection Sensor technologies discussed in the Handbook, including Operating Principles, Sensor Types/Configurations, Applications and Considerations, and Typical Defeat Measures.
Section Three (presented in the CD version only) contains a representative compendium of Vendor Information Sheets for the sensor technologies discussed in Section Two.
Section Four contains a listing of vendors who responded to the CBD notice and a cross-reference matrix of sensors and manufacturers.
The Handbook is best used (after a general review), by referring to the Applications Indices and graphics presented in Section One to determine which technologies best suit the User’s needs, and then reviewing the material in Section Two and Three which relates to that technology.
Role of a perimeter security system is fourfold: deter, detect, document and deny/delay any intrusion of the protected area or facility. The integration of sensors and systems is a major design consideration and is best accomplished as part of an overall system/installation/facility security screen.
Interior detection sensors are used to detect penetration into a structure, movement within a structure or to provide knowledge of intruder contact with a critical or sensitive item.
Exterior detection sensors are used to detect unauthorized entry into clear areas or isolation zones that constitute the perimeter of a protected area, a building or a fixed site facility. The sensors can be placed in clear zones, e.g. open fields, around buildings or along fence lines.
Reference of current perimeter security sensor technologies, capabilities, limitations, and integration methods have been mentioned in this handbook.
