Do you need Perimeter Control?

Complete facility control, detection and monitoring is now possible. Ensure access control beyond the building.


Fence Alert and Tamper Alert are state-of-the-art perimeter control systems designed for seamless integration with PCSC's hardware and software solutions. A highly sensitive, yet unobtrusive fiber optic sensing cable immediately detects and localizes any disturbance to the fence caused by climbing, cutting, or tampering.

The Tamper Alert system consists of rugged, low cost all‐optical microphonic sensor cables, passive sensing nodes that delineate each detection zone, and a central processor unit. A single central processor unit can monitor up to 8 individual zones, and each individual zone can be up to 500 meters in length. This system is designed for chain link, welded wire, or rigid security fences.

The Fence Alert system is an all fiber optic monitoring system that multiplies the effectiveness of any new or existing chain link fence to keep out unwanted intruders. The heart of the system is a rugged, yet low cost all‐optical “maintenance‐free” sensor cable that can be easily attached to any installed perimeter fence. An individual sensor cable can be up to one mile in length and can pinpoint intrusion attempts to within 25 feet. This equates to up to 200 discrete detection zones per each mile of perimeter fence. Multiple cables can be joined for longer perimeters. Since it is all‐optical, the cable contains no electronics and therefore is not affected by electromagnetic or radio frequency interference, rain, lightning, heat or cold.

FEATURES
• 100% Optic Fiber Monitoring
• Maintenance Free Sensor Cable
• Plug-n-Play Self Configuration
• Fiber Bragg Grading Technology
• Simple and easy to install
• No power required in the sensing area
• PC Based Software Application
• API for Rapid Integration
• Supports RS422, RS232, USB
• No Periodic Calibration Needed
• Not Affected by Electromagnetic or Radio Frequency Interference, Rain, Lightning, Heat or Cold
• Pinpoint Intrusion within 25 ft. (Fence Alert)
• Monitor up to 8 individual zones, and each individual zone can be up to 500 meters in length (Tamper Alert)

APPLICATIONS
• High Security / Restricted Access Areas
• Any Rigid Security, Welded Wire & Chain Link Fences
• Airports & Transportation, Banks & Financial Insitutions, Ports & Docks, Chemical / Industrial Plants, Campuses

SAFE classrooms and schools!



A new classroom product that combines sound amplification, lecture capture, and emergency alert capabilities in a single system could have a big impact on the safety of K-12 and higher-education classrooms.
The Safe Security system, from Panasonic and Audio Enhancement, features a button on a microphone worn around the instructor’s neck that, when pressed, sends a silent alarm to a school’s central offices and to administrators. Once alerted, school leaders have access to a live video feed courtesy of a networked camera inside the classroom, as well as to the audio feed captured on the microphone, and they can immediately assess what type of emergency is occurring in the classroom. Watch the following video and contact us!

School Bus NVR Solution - under $1500

Do you need a high end surveillance system in your School Bus for not very much money? We have a camera that is all inclusive, easy to install and manage with any software or hardware.

We have a camera that is as tough as the bus with enough on board storage that you can record weeks of video at 15 IPS High Resolution of 1.3 MegaPixels with H.264 full profile. It has electronic image stabilization and comes mounted on a shock absorption system, with embedded analytics, network ready, PoE or 12VDC.

This video illustrates a moving bus and loading a bus. The clip has been converted for purposes of this blog (MPEG4 @ 640x480). Our client uploads the video from a wireless connection, or they remove the storage for viewing.

Thermal for Transportation - Day Night Integration

Surveillance of our roads and highways pose various difficulties in acquiring usable video to help operators comprehend the traffic problem or the emergency in progress. Thermal imaging can be used for accurately analyzing events that happen next to or on the roadway itself that conventional video surveillance cameras cannot, such as concrete delamination, concrete waterspots, hazardous material spillage and human beings that are off the roadway and out of their vehicle.

For the best of both technologies we integrate day color ccd cameras with thermal cameras for night vision and to solve other problems relative to specific DOT applications.

MegaPixel Camera Shootout: Panasonic vs. Arecont Vision

In this shootout the Panasonic WV-NW502S network super dynamic 5 camera is matched against the Arecont Vision AV5150. These two cameras are recorded in almost the identical location except that the Arecont is installed in a camera housing on the outside of the building and the Panasonic is viewing through a glass window inside the building. There is some refraction in the field of view on the Panasonic due to this arrangement. 


Notice the two pictures. The Arecont camera is having trouble getting enough light to maintain an image most noticiable by the noise and grainy image. The Panasonic is still in color and has not had to switch into the night or monochrome mode yet.

High megapixel cameras claim to be able to do digital zoom better than PTZ and higher quality than lower megapixel. This is simply a spec game. Compare actual camera output below.


The Panasonic NW502 camera is technically a "lower resolution" camera, but which one gives you more useable security information?

We recorded and archived video from each camera to show the difference in total cost of ownership. The Panasonic clip is 3 minutes, 16 seconds, and is only 32Mb. Panasonic camera is also in H.264 mode.

In addition, costs to record the 5Mp camera is very high, as there is so much more motion due to the CMOS sensor. Network bandwidth is very high to transmit the images; number of viewing clients and frame rate may be limited.
