SETTING A VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM

SETTING A VIDEO MONITORING SYSTEM:

There are several things which can to be considered while setting a video surveillance system for a long range monitoring:

• False and nuisance alarms is a big matter of concern.
• Debris and natural vegetation growth along the perimeter were causing numerous false alarms.
• They were not reliably detecting intrusions coming from the backside.
• Fixed cameras had limitations in some environmental conditions.
• The area under surveillance needed a solution that would have minimal impact on the network and power structure.
  WHAT CUSTOMER WANTS:
  Everyone loves a technology that would not impose another layer of complexity on the operations staff and would make a distinct improvement in the accuracy of detecting intruders anywhere along the perimeter. Furthermore, the technology
  would need to have a minimal impact on the network and power infrastructure of the area, should be covert in operation, and should be of nominal cost to maintain.
  There should be several capabilities like low cost, accuracy, less complexity and minimum maintenance. These technologies included surface detection radar
  (existing aircraft surface radar system), millimetre wave radar, thermal imaging cameras, laser (break beam), and buried cable (guided RF) intrusion detection systems.

In each case the technology was measured against the following minimum requirements:

• High Probability of detection (Pd)
• Low False Alarm Rate (FAR)
• Low Vulnerability of defeat (Vd)
• Low impact on existing communications power infrastructure (requirement to add power or communication sources) and personnel (training)
• Covert installation
• Simple integration into existing head-end system
• Simple integration into existing camera surveillance network
• Proven technology, proven company track record in deployment
