Most Innovative New Perimeter Security Technologies For High Security Applications.
Most Innovative New Perimeter Security Technologies – Does SEN know of any novel or innovative security technologies suited to the high security environments with medium or large perimeters and complex built structures? The solution should conform to the highest security requirements.
A: 3D LiDAR with analytics and detailed mapping is the most fun new perimeter detection solution. In our opinion it’s likely to emerge as a key new perimeter detection and monitoring technology, thanks to its ability to minimise false alarms and unnecessary patrol responses.
3D LiDAR sensors are across a perimeter, including to overlap perimeters to give strong coverage, high accuracy and low false alarm rates. They integrate well with CCTV and alarm systems but typically have dedicated management software, given the complexity of their graphical output and the enormity of their detection capacity.
In terms of suppliers, Quanergy springs to mind but there are other makers. The Quanergy solution operates through 360 degrees and can track up to 600 objects simultaneously per sensor. As mentioned, it integrates with perimeter surveillance cameras, allowing operator to put eyes on events. The LiDAR image can also be meshed with camera views for a composite LiDAR optical image, enhancing detail.

3D LiDAR is impervious to weather, darkness and reflections from metal surfaces. 3D LiDAR can be used on open or broken ground, even around high security structures and streetscapes. Range is a question and likely varies by brand and system. We think Quanergy QTrack covers around 15,000 square metres area per sensor – significant, but you’re not putting in one every thousand metres.
The system detects people and vehicles with high accuracy and has low false alarm rates but doesn’t identify faces, so no painful privacy issues to wrestle with. The sensors operate as a mesh – we think they need local power but transmit encrypted data via their own secure integrated wireless network.
The technology is proven on big sites. Quanergy already partners with Milestone and Genetec and would link with access control solutions. We’d be surprised if major local manufacturers don’t have integrations in mind or would not bend over backwards to create one for you – it’s a U.S. company – San Jose – so likely 5 Eyes compliant potential. Not sure about PSPF or SCEC.
Local distributor is EOS Australia – we think Convergint has installed this solution OS if not locally, so contacting the Convergint engineering team might reveal more with regards to application for military, aviation and utilities.
We’re taking about very large sites but Optex Redscan is another solution worth consideration for internal or shorter range external applications. BGW Technologies distributes Redscan locally. It’s got an impressive specification making it ideal for higher security applications.
