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. Overground 2.Underground
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
