A camera on its own watches. A sensor on its own detects. Neither one, alone, tells an operator which of forty video feeds to look at when a fence line is being disturbed at 3 a.m. The Neometrix Infrastructure Protection System (IPS) is built around closing that gap: a Perimeter Intrusion Detection System integrated with a security surveillance system, so that what the sensors detect and what the cameras see arrive as one picture.<\/p>\n
The system is built from fourteen integrated sub-systems: the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) itself; PIDS software and sensors (vibration, proximity, beam and dual sensors); network IP cameras; common accessories; UV-protected outdoor cable; AC power supply; the IT system and its accessories; power and site accessories; network switches; a Video Management System (VMS); command and control software; and UPS backup.<\/p>\n
Sensing is handled by a sensor gateway with proximity, dual and vibration sensors, and the PIDS software processes their signals. The capabilities listed for the platform include multi sensor data fusion — combining inputs from different sensor types rather than treating each alarm in isolation — alongside alarms, motion detection, camera management, audio and remote client access.<\/p>\n
Video lands in the recording and storage layer, with network, a central WAN streamer and backup supporting it. The common command and control software is the layer that brings every sensor and camera into a single operator view, which is the point of integrating the two halves in the first place.<\/p>\n
The system is configured per customer requirement and applies to any type of infrastructure, and to specific uses such as vehicle security, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), road security, border security and biometric security.<\/p>\n
