Reliable alarm generation with 3D LiDAR security systems

Security

The LiDAR security system captures precise 3D data, allowing it to accurately detect the size, movement direction, and speed of objects within its field of view. This system relies on the reliability of the collected information to trigger an alarm only when an object truly enters the security perimeter, ensuring minimal false-alarm-rates.

LiDAR sensors surpass previous security solutions by consistently delivering high-quality data in various lighting and weather conditions. Additionally, they offer robust resistance to compromise or hacking. The three-dimensional nature of the data facilitates privacy-compliant monitoring of properties and buildings across diverse industries.

The accompanying “Percept” software analyzes the real-time, high-resolution point clouds. This software enables easy zone definition, observation, and accurate object detection. With these exceptional features, the LiDAR security system provides a dependable solution for ensuring reliable security.

Privacy-sensitive intrusion detection system with low false-alarm-rates

Reliable alarm generation

Detecting an object’s size and location serves as the foundation for setting alarm thresholds, resulting in low false alarm rates and preventing alarm fatigue.

24/7 operation

The laser-based technology’s intrinsic light source allows for reliable data collection in all lighting and weather conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Low maintenance costs

Thanks to the solid-state design, the sensors are very durable and rugged, leading to minimal maintenance and reduced maintenance costs.

Privacy-compliant data

LiDAR sensors provide a data protection-compliant solution by collecting only anonymized 3D data, ensuring that no conclusions can be drawn about individuals in the monitored area.

LiDAR Security System for reliable perimeter protection

Energy

Critical infrastructures such as power plants, solar parks, and transformer stations must prioritize security to ensure the nation's safety during emergencies. It is essential to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing these sites to safeguard against tampering with equipment or facilities. To effectively prompt security personnel intervention, minimizing the false alarm rate is of utmost importance. For this purpose, LiDAR-based solutions prove to be the optimal choice. Leveraging 3D data, these solutions provide reliable perimeter intrusion detection throughout the day and night, effectively filtering out vegetation and small animals. The versatility of the LiDAR security system allows it to be employed as a virtual fence, supplementing physical barriers, and securing gates, roofs, and facades.

Private Assets

Highly valuable private properties, such as villas, castles, hotels, or yachts, can benefit from the implementation of a LiDAR security solution. Driveways, entrances, and facades can be effectively monitored using 3D LiDAR sensors, enabling the detection of intruders through reliable object detection software. This technology offers crucial advantages in terms of privacy protection, as the data does not reveal personal information. Furthermore, the discreet design of the Blickfeld sensors and minimal cabling requirements ensure that the architectural integrity of the buildings remains unaffected.

Track Surveillance

The presence of unauthorized individuals in subway tunnels or on tracks within company premises poses risks to their safety and may cause financial damages due to track blockages or vandalism. The implementation of LiDAR security solutions effectively addresses this concern by reliably detecting individuals on the tracks. The three-dimensional nature of the captured data eliminates the need for interpretation when determining unauthorized entry. Additionally, the adherence to data protection regulations simplifies the use of these solutions in public areas.

Aviation

LiDAR security solutions offer significant advantages for large and intricate airport sites. Compliance with §8 and §9 of the German Aviation Security Act can be ensured by monitoring the transition from airside to landside, effectively preventing unauthorized objects from crossing over. Moreover, waiting and holding positions on the tarmac can be reliably monitored and parked aircraft protected from tampering. The three-dimensional nature of LiDAR data renders it impervious to darkness and adverse weather conditions, resulting in minimal false alarm rates. Thus, a LiDAR security system is an ideal choice for the aviation sector.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I mount the sensors?

Cube 1 sensors ship with a mounting bracket that provides a standard 1/4″-UNC camera thread.
For Qb2 sensors, Blickfeld offers different mounting options, including a camera mount that provides a standard 1/4″-UNC camera thread and a pan tilt mount which allows for flexible mounting of both Qb2 variants to both walls and poles. Contact sales@blickfeld.com for further information.

How can I integrate the sensor into my own software?

Blickfeld sensors come with their own Application Programming Interfaces. For the Cube 1 product line as well as Qb2, Blickfeld offers client libraries supporting the C++ and Python programming languages. However, users can implement clients in further languages using the native sensor APIs. Additionally, Blickfeld provides drivers for the Robot Operating System (ROS). Further information and resources can be found at https://www.blickfeld.com/resources/#developer-tools.

How do the sensors perform in weather conditions such as snow, rain, smoke and fog?

Precipitation and other atmospheric disturbances such as smoke, dust, or fog can increase the false detection rate of any LiDAR sensor. However, by experience, Blickfeld sensors perform very well in such scenarios, as long-term installations at the Northsea shoreline, inside waste facility bunkers, silos, and similar locations have shown.
