Optellios Announces Hardened, Multi-Zone Intrusion Detection System

  • Apr 03, 2008

Optellios Inc. announced recently that it will be launching a new family of FiberPatrol intrusion detection systems featuring modular, environmentally hardened 4-zone alarm processors. The company will be demonstrating the product at Booth 1044 at ISC West.

The new processing units will work with the company’s fiber optic multi-zone sensors that require no field power and can include unlimited spare communication fibers. The system design will feature four intrusion zones per standalone processor, enabling intelligent on-board cross-sensor correlation for superior nuisance alarm rejection.

“We are addressing a need which we have found in the industry for a low-cost solution that can also provide competent nuisance alarm rejection. We are glad to offer an alternative to older technologies, one that is truly immune to weather-induced disturbances,” said Dr. Jay Patel, CEO of Optellios.

Processor units will be available as stand-alone boxes or plug-in cards. Up to five plug-in processor modules, supporting up to 20 zones, can be housed in a standard rack-mountable chassis, which is also compatible with FiberPatrol communication equipment. Each processor will come with a set of relay contacts, an RS-232 port, and a built-in IP interface, with XML broadcasting for easy integration into existing alarm management systems. Multiple units can be combined together through the FiberPatrol Remote Alarm Management platform.

New systems will be available for all perimeter security and infrastructure monitoring applications, including fences, walls, buried perimeters, pipelines, and data cables. Multi-zone intrusion detection systems are designed to complement high-end FiberPatrol location sensing systems by providing protection to smaller facilities and individual assets.

  • Gaining a Competitive Edge

    Ask most companies about their future technology plans and the answers will most likely include AI. Then ask how they plan to deploy it, and that is where the responses may start to vary. Every company has unique surveillance requirements that are based on market focus, scale, scope, risk tolerance, geographic area and, of course, budget. Those factors all play a role in deciding how to configure a surveillance system, and how to effectively implement technologies like AI. Read Now

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
