Perimeter security — Perimeter intrusion detection (PIDS)

Perimeter points are read-only by default. Arming and disarming is offered only for systems with an official interface and only on zones a manager has enabled.

Overview and site map

• Overview of armed zones, alarms, faults and offline devices.
• Zone list and details: detection technology, linked cameras, alarm and fault history.
• Site map with zones, fiber alarm positions, radar targets and cameras; an alarm pops up the video from the linked cameras.

Events and settings

• Perimeter events go through the normal alarm acknowledgement flow.
• Device health for controllers and sensors.
• Zone settings — name, alarm priority and linked cameras — for engineers and above, fully audited.

Connecting the system

• Gateway drivers: ONVIF event subscription, MQTT perimeter JSON and Elk M1.
• Also through I/O-module dry contacts, BACnet (for example from Genetec), SNMP traps and webhooks.
• When the event connection is really lost, zones are marked untrustworthy instead of being shown as quiet.

Arming and disarming under control

• Controlled arming and disarming on systems with an official interface (currently Elk M1 — implemented, not yet validated on site), on zones a manager has enabled.
• Two-person confirmation (another operator confirms within 5 minutes) plus an e-signature, the 8-step change flow and read-back; a mismatch raises an urgent alarm.

Try it

• The demo data center, logistics center and new energy sites have simulated perimeters with periodic intrusion, nuisance-alarm and fiber-cut events.

Industries

• New-energy manufacturing
• Data centers
