Advancing physical intrusion detection

IR motion detectors for households and private properties have become more commonplace, cost-effective and user-friendly. a&s discusses some common issues, such as false alarms and missed events, with existing technologies and how manufacturers and solution providers address the problems.

New breakthroughs for motion and intrusion detectors

New and core technologies for intrusion detectors and perimeter sensors, as well as their real-life applications, are explored in this feature. INTREPID MicroWave 330, a volumetric perimeter detection system for fence lines, open areas, gates, entryways, walls and rooftop applications, is Southwest Microwave's field-proven microwave detection technology. It can detect human intruders with minima

Adjusting Detector Technology to Real-Life Expectations

Real-life conditions could easily affect sensor sensitivity and optimum performance. In this feature, practical issues are addressed for you to build more resilient intrusion detection systems with minimized FARs.

Keys to Implementing Optimal Perimeter and Intrusion Detection Systems

After selecting the right products, a few points should be kept in mind during installation. Detector sensitivity, necessary tampering prevention and price/performance considerations should be thoroughly discussed and understood by system integrators and end users.

Sharpen Your Senses: Securing Boundaries with Perimeter and Intrusion Detection Technologies

Perimeter security and physical intrusion detection are crucial for critical infrastructure and large-scale commercial complexes. Whether for government and military facilities or commercial-industrial areas, having a reliable and efficient risk-deterrent system on the perimeter of any important site is now mandatory. On a global scale, there is much room for growth — IMS Research forecasts that i

Scouting Hidden Danger：CBRN Detectors on the Frontline of Public Safety Ⅱ

In a sense, a detector — handheld, mobile or stationary — is the frontline tool within a network of CBRN detection, analysis and identification instruments. Detectors provide information either as a single tool or as part of a network of tools that will contribute to the work in mobile and fixed-site laboratories by correctly classifying and identifying the threat materials. “When entering

Scouting Hidden Danger：CBRN Detectors on the Frontline of Public Safety Ⅰ

Demand for advanced detection technologies remains high, as weapons of mass destruction could result in unaccountable casualties. Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material detectors are must-have frontline defense tools to stand against all possible threats.

PA Installation and Product Selection

An effective public address system must be carefully designed. Different installations have different product requirements and layouts. System efficiency and sound clarity are shared goals.

Effective Notification with Public Address Systems

Communication plays a crucial role in ensuring safety. A clear and direct command during emergency prevents chaos and minimizes possible casualties. A&S takes a look at the latest technologies, trends and challenges of the current public address market.

Study Finds Reduction in UK False Alarms

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) welcomed a significant reduction in false alarms across England, Wales and Northern Ireland following the release of figures from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). The figures demonstrate a 13.9 percent reduction in police attendance to false alarms over the last year.
