As perimeter security professionals, we are well aware of the requirements of good perimeter detection. For residential use we recommend Bunker Security’s beam towers, concealed and camouflaged in lampposts and garden lights. These towers are designed in different formats, and we can deliver them separately or in combination with the most durable beams on the market, TAKEX beams.  We can even deliver them pre-configured and pre-wired with the desired combinations of beams adapted (easyPack family from Bunker Seguridad).

Photoelectric Beams

The different models of infrared perimeter beams are perfectly compatible with each other, with an optimal result both aesthetically and functionally. Many combinations and configurations can be made, including among models from the residential and the industrial ranges, when necessary.

Urban security involves tackling burglary, theft, vandalism and the most effective way to do this is through early detection and deterrence.

Over many years, TAKEX has successfully designed, perfected and verified the performance of its infrared barriers. Strict quality control and rigorous testing, applied at every stage of production, ensure that all TAKEX products have a hard-to-beat lifetime. In addition, thanks to the combination of a double modulated beam with a tuning amplifier and Phase Locked Loop (PLL) system, photoelectric beam sensors designed and manufactures by TAKEX provide complete perimeter protection like no other.

Video analytics for perimeter detection

Although more and more video surveillance cameras are being installed in neighbourhoods and municipalities, sometimes the only function they are used for is to record assaults or burglaries that occur. However, it is always better to prevent crime, and to achieve this, intelligent video analysis can be added to video surveillance systems and combined with intrusion detection systems, based on beam towers.

Advanced video analytics optimise the efficiency of the installed security system and allow us to detect intrusions in controlled spaces, before damage or loss occurs. Video analysis is based on software installed on hardware equipment that allows autonomous, advanced real-time analysis of images that are being captured by the cameras. Then a camera ceases to be a passive part of the security system to detect suspicious events and to trigger the planned actions.

Tempos Analytics offers solutions that are compatible with the main VMS on the market, as well as with visual, thermal and dual cameras. Especially noteworthy is the possibility of combining intelligent video analysis with existing perimeter system detectors, as well as the advantage of being able to choose between various types of hardware depending on the needs and requirements of the project. The flexibility of the configuration and licences combination facilitates the creation of much more intuitive, accurate and automated surveillance systems. In addition, number plate recognition licences for parking management or access control can be added to the same hardware.

Other sensors

Depending on the particularities of the site to be protected, the security system may incorporate other outdoor and indoor sensors to complement the protection adding further functionality and detection zones. For example, PIR detectors can de used to detect intrusión, turn/ switch cameras or actívate alarms.

Since a video surveillance device depends on reflected light, surfaces that have a higher reflection coefficient will allow the device to display images better. More light is needed to reproduce quality images near dark surfaces (e.g. asphalt) than to lighter surfaces (concrete). It is highly recommended to replace old lighting with LEDs and depending on the type of cameras being used, white light or infrared LED illuminators can be added.

GJD’s Clarius infrared LED illuminators, marketed by Bunker Seguridad Electrónica S.L., work in conjunction with black and white or day and night cameras. Their advanced technology provides uniform and constant illumination, maximising camera performance and ensuring high quality images. In addition, they have a long service life and very low maintenance.

Elliptical beam profiles allow more light to be delivered to the area where it is needed, so distances can be extended and the waste of light minimised. The system also helps to avoid overexposure of foreground objects. The interchangeable lens diffuser kit allows the user to quickly and easily modify the illuminator’s field of view to suit the camera.

The Clarius® Plus IP is a high performance infrared illuminator incorporating the latest surface mount LEDs with enhanced optical output and exceptional reliability. The night-time images obtained with such assistance are of high sharpness and quality, while the devices hardly suffer any changes over time, thanks to the CleanLITE® technology of the lens coating that provides self-cleaning and improves the device’s resistance.

The images captured and recorded by a camera in a well-lit environment are truly extraordinary. On the other hand, LED illuminators are often used to deter intruders before they attempt to access to a protected site.

Another important part of an effective video surveillance system is intelligent video analytics that can be used to reduce false alarms, make detection more automatic and intuitive, and facilitate the work of security professionals. It’s about getting the right information that allows you to act before incidents or losses occur.

Over the years, numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of individuals monitoring multiple video screens. The results indicate that alertness and concentration are reduced after more than 15 minutes of continuous monitoring.  The use of advanced video analytics algorithms makes the video surveillance system more effective and adds automatic real-time actions. When choosing a suitable security system, it is often necessary to take into account the existing detectors in the perimeter detection system.

The solutions that we recommend are those of the Tempos Analytics brand, which are configured in a very intuitive way to adapt to different applications and sites and at the same time complete the system of warnings and actions. They include the possibility of interacting with the detectors of your perimeter system, either through IP OPTEX integration or through I/O modules.

Both, LED illuminators and video analysis systems with advanced algorithms can significantly improve the detection of a video surveillance system and reduce false alarms.

Tempos Analytics, a recent Spanish brand, dedicated to the creation of intelligent solutions for video analysis, has reached a distribution agreement with Bunker Seguridad Electrónica S.L. for their commercialization.

These solutions are based on high performance software and available in various hardware formats that adapt to different installation requirements and functional needs. The real-time video analysis software is perfect for both, Perimeter Security and Licence Plate Recognition in stationary or moving vehicles. It combines simplicity of configuration with powerful algorithms aimed at reducing false alarms and intelligent detection, compatible with visual, thermal and dual cameras and with the main VMS on the market.

Tempos Analytics is capable of converting a system of cameras and security sensors into an intelligent and flexible detection system, processing and converting images into relevant data, very easy to interpret by a security professional, helping him to discriminate an intrusion from any other event, either using his own internal logic, supporting the physical detection of external sensors with image analysis or showing in a “visible” image the detection made by a thermal camera.

The advanced algorithms used by this software provide a wide range of options when it comes to customizing the analysis and the actions to be taken if certain events occur or suspicious behavior appears.

In addition, it allows the establishment of periodic calendars and tasks, providing greater flexibility to the video verification system. In these cases, an alarm can be activated, lights can be turned on, immediate warning can be given automatically, a barrier can be lifted, etc. The configuration is easy and intuitive.

Tempos Analytics provides new features in the detection and tracking of objects in real time, the optimisation of video monitoring, automatic number plate recognition and vehicle access control, as well as the ability to integrate with existing systems and devices.

The distribution agreement with Bunker Seguridad Electrónica, makes it a reliable, renewed and quality commitment.
