Infrastructure security/ Detecting and positioning

Critical sites can be secured today by a new generation of sensors that allow detection and accurate positioning of suspected intrusions with accuracy of a few meters. This allows pointing a camera automatically to the exact intrusion point. This is the pinpoint Positioning Technology.

MAGAL Security Systems, a world leader in the field of perimeter security for critical sites, develops sensor technologies and delivers them to customers worldwide. The company’s products have the capability to accurately locate intruders. It should be mentioned that legacy systems were based on fence-mounted zone – sensors, typically of 100 to 200 meters long. Thus complementary means, such as observers, PTZ camera or manned patrol had to be used in order to refine the precise intrusion location. As mentioned before, the new locating sensors generation allows detection and exact positioning with accuracy of a few meters. Here is a description of the main relevant technologies:
