Perimeter surveillance is necessary for protection of outdoor properties where chances

of intrusion, smuggling, and burglary exist. Well protected and vast areas like country borders,

airports, banks, oil and gas pipelines and many more such crucial assets should be continuously

monitored from intrusion and protected from intruders. Currently existing surveillance

techniques such as CCTV surveillance, electric fence and many more has certain demerits which

introduces the new thought of Surveillance’s solution using optical fiber sensor.

FOPIDS systems are intrusion detection sensor system developed for the advanced

perimeter security. Optical fiber advantages like passive nature, immune to EMI, easy to repair

makes FOPIDS systems increased demand in security and surveillance industry. Reliable and field

tested distributed sensor for both underground and over ground deployments give it more area of

applications. FOPIDS deployment follows a Zone based deployment which makes monitoring after

intrusion easier and effective. FOPIDS is designed, developed and manufactured by Fiber Optic

Sensing Solutions Pvt Ltd.

How it Works?

A modern surveillance technology where optical fiber is the sensor element giving it a

distributed sensing nature which makes the deployment all over the surveillance area with optical

fiber lengths similar to utilized in telecommunication fiber deployment .The FOPIDS main device

sends optical signals and receives it back with changes introduced into it due to the surrounding

intrusion signals. These signals are processed using intelligent algorithms and intrusion alarms

and warning are generated alerting the concerned authorities regarding the intrusion occurred

in the surveillance area.

FOPIDS Features

Perimeter Intrusion Detection

Perimeter or boundaries of assets to be protected are trespassed by intruders or

smugglers avoiding the human surveillance eyes. To protect from these intrusions FOPIDS is a

smart solution which monitors and captures all kind of physical activity going on near the

boundaries by capturing vibration signals.

Passive Sensor

Full passive components are the design that requires no outdoor processors and

electrical power to the outdoor components. In this case, the system is immune to

electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), and lightning.

Zone Based System

A perimeter is segregated into different detection zones deployed with several sets of

sensing fiber and FOPIDS system can accept Individual zone settings for finer monitoring

resolution.

Distributed Acoustic sensing

Optical Fiber is used as the sensing element which can be deployed all over the perimeter

and all over the length active as a sensor which can detect vibrations from any points where sensor

is deployed making the sensor distributed in nature.

Real Time Alert and Warning

Fast and immediate sensing capability and alert and warning systems in hardware and

software like alarm sound, light indicators, Indication of alert in zone map

Overground and Underground deployment

Deployment of FOPIDS can be done in overground boundaries like different kind of fences,

walls which are already a physical barrier and underground deployment over the length of

perimeters or along the walls in the ground and similar areas where visibility of the FOPIDS senor

fiber is not preferred.

Intelligent software control of device and zones

Management software control for the device operation, zone management, alarm

indication and warning system which has intelligence facility to tune itself for fluctuating

environmental and surrounding situations

FOPIDS Devices and Management Software

FOPIDS System can support two protecting zones together. It is majorly implemented in applications

where the length of perimeter to be monitored is less and preferring over

ground deployments like fence and walls or indoor applications with small

perimeters. The module itself has options for fiber routing and power

supply making it preferable for small scale deployments. The sensing cable

will be leading out directly from the module which is ABS plastic box

package.

2. FOPIDS002

FOPIDS002 is the main control device in the FOPIDS system which can control up to 16 zones using a

single device. It has rack mountable design suitable for a control room facility where all the monitoring

facilities can be integrated like alarm unit, management

unit and any other security layer necessary to be

integrated with the system. A plug in card system is

used in the device providing easy maintenance and

redundancy feature.

3. FOS001/002/003

These are the modules which handles the passive part of

the FOPIDS system. They have fiber routing facility and manage to split or combine fiber optic signals

for the sensor. They have IP65 ABS packaging making it suitable for both over ground

and underground applications.

4. FOPIDS Sensing Fiber

Optical Fiber Cable is used as the sensing element in FOPIDS

system .Industry grade Single Mode optical fiber used in

telecommunication industry is used for the deployments. Optical

signals are transmitted and received through the optical fibers. Usage

optical cable protect the fiber from weather and environmental changes,

corrosion, UV exposure etc.

5. FOPIDS Management software

FOPIDS Manager System management software realizes the real-time

online monitoring, mapping, analysis of intrusion detection, alarm records, statistics report, system

configuration and joint-action management.

1. Over ground

Overground installations are concentrated majorly

on already available physical barriers like fences and

walls. Fences like iron wire net, metal wire net,

barbed designs are chosen for over ground fence

applications. For walls deployment is done on the

surface and top of the walls for better intrusion

detections

Intrusion behaviors detected:

2. Underground

In a buried underground application, vibration and pressure

changes are the primary modes of stimuli. However, when

the sensor cable is buried in sand or soft soils, vibration is

rapidly dampened and thus negligible. I

Intrusion behaviors detected:

· Digging and tunneling activities

· Running and fast walking

· Vehicle passing

· Tree cutting
