Security System by PIDS - Perimeter Intrusion Detection System

Prevent intruders from entering the property area with Perimeter Intrusion Detection System at outdoor area.

What is PIDS – Perimeter Intrusion Detection System?

PIDS, Perimeter Intrusion Detection System, an effective solution to protect and secure your site before the intruders enter the property by installing security sensors at perimeter area. PIDS includes security guards and alarm systems (security sensors), and surveillance cameras if visual confirmation is required.

The hybrid security with combined security guards, sensors and surveillance cameras enables the following immediate response in real-time in the event of an intrusion:

  1. The security sensor detects an intrusion at the perimeter area and sends an alert to the local / remote monitoring room.
  1. Security operators in the monitoring room check the scene video of the surveillance camera installed near the sensor triggered.
  1. If necessary, security guards will be dispatched and / or security operators will issue voice warnings to intruders remotely.

Benefit of PIDS

1. Detect an intruder at early stage of intrusion

The perimeter is the first entry point to a site. By detecting intruders at perimeter, it is possible to respond early before the intruder reaches the building.

2. Improve the quality of security, with limited human error

Many sites have perimeter security with only security guards or security guards and surveillance cameras (CCTV). It is difficult for security guards, especially those in charge of large premises, to see everything without overlooking emergencies and always respond immediately to them. There is also the possibility of human error.

And at the timing of shift of security guards, monitoring tends to become lax. Security sensors reduce human errors such as overlooking and work 24 hours / 7 days keeping same security quality.

3. Increase security efficiency and enable immediate action when intrusion

By dividing the perimeter into multiple areas and installing security sensors in each zone, it is possible to identify where an intrusion occurred.
In addition, by integrating the security sensor and the surveillance camera system, when a sensor detects an intrusion, a linked camera will be triggered for actions such as Live pop-up or PTZ camera control on the screen of monitoring room. Then security operator there can take a prompt action to dispatch security guard for on-site check, call police/ owner or makes a voice warning remotely. It realizes the efficiency of the operation for reliable response in the event of an emergency.

4. Long-term fixed cost saving

Increasing yearly of security cost is a matter that have to find a solution. In recent years, the cost of security guards is also increasing according to rising labor costs in Thailand. Hybrid security with PIDS solutions can reduce security fixed costs in the long term by replacing some of security guards with an alarm system (security sensors).

*Example cost simulation when 40% security guard reduction and CCTV and alarm system are installed.
*The actual cost varies according to site.

OPTEX Perimeter Security Sensor “SL series”

QDM series (Advanced Model)
SL-200QDM [60m] /SL-350QDM [100m] /SL-650QDM [200m]

QDP series (Standard Model)
SL-200QDP [60m] /SL-350QDP [100m] /SL-650QDP [200m]

QN series (Basic Model)
SL-200QN [60m] /SL-350QN [100m] /SL-650QN [200m]

OPTEX SL series is long range* photoelectric detector using active IR technology. It’s developed optimally for perimeter intrusion detection applications.
SL-200QDM/SL-350QDM/SL-650QDM are the advanced models of SL series. Double-modulated quad beams and A.T.P.C (automatic transmit power control) which is OPTEX’s unique function can reduce false alarms and missed alarms. LED indicators, sound assist, and upper/lower beam selection buttons support your optical axis alignment and reduce the workload during installation and setup.

Features of SL-QDM series

● High power quad beam, Double modulation (SL-QDM/QDP only)

This can enhance signal discrimination against potential noise interference such as sunlight or other external light sources, resulting in a reduction of missed alarms. Together with OPTEX triple layered sunshine protection technology, it ensures high reliability under the severe outdoor security environment.

● Selectable 4 channel beam frequencies (SL-QDM/QDP only)

● A.T.P.C.-Automatic transmit power control (SL-QDM only)

Automatically controls, adjusts and optimizes the power of the beam and maintains optimal performance. It decreases false and missed alarms caused by fog, frost, cross talk, signal saturation.

● Improving workability of optical axis alignment

  1. I.A.S.C.- Integrated alignment status communication (SL-QDM only)
    • Two-way communication between the transmitter and receiver allows the optical axis level to be checked on the transmitter side as well.
  1. LED indicator and sound assist
    • You can check the optical alignment level with the level indicator and electronic sound. (It can work for walk test)
    • By the I.A.S.C. function (SL-QDM only), you can check the optical alignment level with an electronic sound on both the transmitter and receiver, so it’s possible to install, do setting and adjust the sensor by even one person.If the optical alignment level can be checked only on the receiver side, it’s necessary for the installers to stand at each the transmitter side and receiver side and adjust the optical axis while sharing the optical alignment level by a phone or transceiver.
  1. Upper/Lower beam selection button (SL-QDM/QDP only)
  1. Sniper view finder
    • Visibility is about twice that of conventional products. In addition, the internal color of the main unit is highly visible orange.

● Beam power control selector (SL-QDM/QDP only)

It allows you to manually adjust beam power from NORMAL to LOW or VERY LOW. This function is effective for the following purposes:

  • For countermeasure against crosstalk due to reflection of wall or floor by reducing beam power.
  • For countermeasure against interference due to unstable S/N (signal / noise) ratio when using multiple photo beams for long distance or beam stacking applications.
  • To reduce beam power when using the detector for a distance shorter than the rated distance.
  • To search the peak value when making optical alignment to support perfect alignment.
