AcoustAlert is an acoustic field analyser utilising microphonic cables. This perimeter

intrusion detection solution is reliable and cost effective. Specifically designed for use on outdoor fencing and wall barriers, as well as indoor vaults and high security facilities protection.

• Can be fitted onto existing mesh fences. Up to 600 meter protection per detector

• Can be used also for “wall top” detection or for the detection of digging under fences

• Network or stand alone versions available to cater for all sizes

• Covers sizes from small (< 100 m) and large (> 10 km) perimeter detection

Perimeter Intrusion Detection System

Detects intruders cutt ing through, cl imbing over or l i f t ing perimeter fencing

When everything is secure, your l i fe is too

AcoustAlert is a LAN based audio analyser which has been

specifically adapted for intrusion detection for outdoor perimeter

fencing and wall barriers as well as for internal building protection

for vaults and high security facilities.

The AcoustAlert analyser is connected to a sensor cable of up

to 300 meters per zone, which can be installed onto perimeter

fencing, walls or built into vault wall elements or installed into

ceiling and roof spaces.

AcoustAlert uses Advanced Digital Acoustic Signal Processing (ADASP), to analyse the Piezoelectric signals from the sensor cable to activate an alarm in the event of climbing, cutting or disturbing perimeter fencing as well as impacts to walls and structures to which the sensor cable is attached. • Guaranteed high perimeter activity detection probability• Affordable due to latest technology in digital audio and networking • Bundled “Listen in” and “Talk Back” capabilities• PC user interface for multi-zone handling• Customised management reporting...to list a few pertinant features

Networked Applications

The AcoustAlert detection system communicates over a conventional LAN network utilising standard computer communication protocol TCP IP methods. Because of this and the design of the AcoustAlert it is possible to give each AcoustAlert field processor a unique IP address in this way making it possible to communicate over the network with numerous field processors. The field processors can then be positioned about a perimeter with either copper or fibre LAN connection via normal network switches to create the ability to monitor large lengths of perimeter fence lines. In this way perimeters of a site from a few 100 meters to many kilometres can be protected. Each AcoustAlert field processor being able to monitor up to 600 meters each and thus zoned accordingly.

Stand-Alone Applications

The AcoustAlert standalone field processor is based on the above networked version in that is utilises the same base or mother board and therefore can work in a networked environment as explained for the networked version above. In addition to the base board the stand-alone AcoustAlert has a second daughter board which replicates alarm and field processor conditions via visual and contact free terminations.

For the purpose of stand-alone applications potentially free alarm output contacts are available for each of the 2 AcoustAlert detection zones on each unit. In addition to this local inputs are available for zone control functions. Also in addition to this is a general input and output for external events.

Programming of the stand-alone AcoustAlert field processor (detector) in done via laptop through the network port using a cross-over network cable. Because of the network capability of the stand-alone AcoustAlert, it can also be used in a larger networked application in the same manner as the method described for larger systems, in this way local inputs and outputs can be used to monitor remote conditions and control same, for example, it is possible to monitor a gate contact via the general input and can also trigger the opening of a gate or sound a siren.

SPECIFICATIONS

Using AcoustAlert introduces a new and cost effective alternative to the conventional

electric fence detection system and is becoming more widely used on large and small

installations.

The networked version is used more for longer length perimeters and can be

integrated to work with alarm verification systems like CCTV. The stand-alone

version is more suited to applications where there is no central server nor the

typical on-site guard room response units. So the stand-alone unit is more

suited to protecting communications towers in remote locations where the

alarm contacts are wired to a third party alarm system which is linked to a

centralised control room. Other applications include the protection of town

house complexes and estates, again the stand-alone AcoustAlert will be

connected to local armed response units wireless alarm systems.

In any event, whatever the application please do not hesitate to contact

us to assist you with application and design of your system. We can assist

with this as well as cost estimates and ongoing service maintenance

recommendation.
