Southwest Microwave Announces Perimeter Defense Seminars

Southwest Microwave Announces Perimeter Defense SeminarsSouthwest Microwave, a provider of high-security, outdoor, electronic perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), will be presenting a series of 2013 PERIMETER DEFENSE SEMINARS across the U.S. and Canada this fall. These sessions explore best practices for mitigating risk of unauthorized site access, vandalism, theft or destruction of critical infrastructure, and cover such topics as:

  • Principles of intrusion detection for today’s leading perimeter security technologies;
  • System design and configuration best practices for specific vertical market environments;
  • Critical detection performance measures for developing an optimal perimeter defense; and
  • Total cost of perimeter detection system ownership as a key decision-making strategy.

The seminars will be staged from September to November 2013 in 15 cities across the US and Canada, targeting systems integrators, architects, engineers, consultants and facility end-user personnel in the utilities, industrial, transportation and government/military sectors involved in the design, specification, procurement, installation and maintenance of perimeter security systems.

"PERIMETER DEFENSE workshops support those involved with intrusion detection in identifying critical considerations for an effective PIDS solution, relative to application-specific concerns and threats facing today's security-sensitive sectors," explained Southwest Microwave's Director of Sales, Bob Kirkaldie.

"We ask attendees to consider their current perimeter security strategy and its effectiveness in defending against attack sabotage or harm to human life," Kirkaldie elaborated. "Today's technologically advanced solutions provide robust measures to detect intrusions and prevent nuisance alarms. System elements - sensors, cameras, command, and control applications - can network seamlessly and cost effectively, if done right. With more than 70,000 systems protecting critical infrastructure worldwide and over 40 years of perimeter detection experience, Southwest Microwave provides the toolkit for achieving these goals."

  • A8V MIND

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.

  • ResponderLink

    ResponderLink

    Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com company and a global leader in gunshot detection solutions, has introduced ResponderLink, a groundbreaking new 911 notification service for gunshot events. ResponderLink completes the circle from detection to 911 notification to first responder awareness, giving law enforcement enhanced situational intelligence they urgently need to save lives. Integrating SDS’s proven gunshot detection system with Noonlight’s SendPolice platform, ResponderLink is the first solution to automatically deliver real-time gunshot detection data to 911 call centers and first responders. When shots are detected, the 911 dispatching center, also known as the Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP, is contacted based on the gunfire location, enabling faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols.
