OFC Based Intrusion Detection System: Long range Detection With Utter Perfection

If you are looking for a budget-friendly, long-lasting, and highly sensitive intrusion detection system (IDS)  for your properties, try OFC based intrusion detection system. This is an advanced IDS with some amazing advantages to the property owner, especially when the properties are big and remote. Optical fiber can be installed in highly challenging areas and terrains too.

Where can you install OFC-based IDS?

This next-level and remotely controllable intrusion detection system is ideal for various places:

• Critical infrastructure: Oil refineries, power plants, arms and ammunition manufacturing units, livestock farming areas, and data centers are critical infrastructures that can be safeguarded with OFC based intrusion detection system.
• Perimeter security: Large and challenging perimeters like national parks, botanical gardens, etc. are better protected with this advanced IDS. Traditional sensors and protections in these areas can not be as comprehensive as this system.
• High-security zones: Some areas need impeccable 24/7 security like government buildings, mints, or any other premises where tough security is the primary requirement. These properties can be better managed and monitored with optical fiber cables and advanced sensors.
• Border security: Securing vast border areas is a challenging job for the authority. In several areas where human security cannot be posted is better protected with this IDS.
• Underground and underwater installations: Several types of underground and underwater installations can be given perfect protection with OFC based intrusion detection system.

Advantages of the system

Laser beams are passed through the fiber optic cables. Several sensors are attached to the optical fibers installed in an area. Even motion-sensing sensors and CCTVs can be attached to these cables for the instant detection of any intrusion.

• The system is highly sensitive and can detect even minor disturbances.
• OFC based intrusion detection systems can cover and protect extensive areas like tea gardens and farmlands.
• The system is completely immune to electromagnetic interference which makes it more useful in harsh weather conditions.
• No electricity or electrical devices are required for this system.

Key components of the system

This advanced IDS has several important parts. Take a look:

• Optical fiber cable (OFC) is the foundation of the system that works as the sensing component.
• A light source is attached with the OFC that emits laser beams into the OFC. Laser beams here are the light signals.
• A signal detection system is also attached to the OFC. The detection system receives the signals and analyzes them for anomalies.
• The signal processing unit processes the light signals and stores data.
• The control unit detects the descripencies and readily generates alerts.

Any external disturbance like a person shaking or cutting the fence causes changes in light propagation. The sensors capture these movements and immediately send data to the signal processing unit of the system. The signal processing unit or control unit then automatically compares the real-time data with the historical data to understand the type of intrusion happening in that area. All these happen in a few seconds and the guards watching the system in the control unit take necessary action. Magal Security System offers an advanced level OFC based intrusion detection system with all necessary technical support. This system is easy to use and control.
