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 while their camera-like handling enables an easy replacement of legacy technology with minimal effort.

The accompanying 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.

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.

Applications

Zone Monitoring

With zone monitoring, businesses can detect potential security breaches and detect intruders in real time. This information can be used to enhance security measures and prevent unauthorized access, ultimately resulting in a lower false-alarm rate and preventing alarm fatigue.

Fence Monitoring

Virtual fences around physical spaces enable businesses to secure a perimeter without an actual fence. By monitoring the movement of people and objects with high accuracy, potential security breaches can be detected and anticipated in real time. This way, security measures can be enhanced and unauthorized access prevented, resulting in a safer and more secure environment.

Facade Surveillance

Potential security threats such as unauthorized entry or suspicious activity on the exterior of a building can be reliably detected, and, if necessary, trigger an alarm. In doing so, security measures can be improved as open windows and doors can also be detected, preventing incidents.

Key Benefits

Significant reduction in false alarms

Experience a remarkable decrease in false alarms, thanks to our innovative features such as the cluster zone for alarm generation based on true object size, the exclusion zone, precise threat location pinpointing on a map, and accurate detection of object size and movement direction.

Seamless integration into existing systems

With their camera-like handling, these sensors require no additional expertise for installation and configuration. They seamlessly integrate with existing security systems.

Reliable detection even in harsh environments

Thanks to their solid-state design with an absence of rotating parts and an IP67-rated housing, our sensors offer durability and ruggedness, resulting in minimal maintenance and suitability for indoor and outdoor applications.

Privacy-compliant data

By collecting only anonymized 3D data, our solution ensures that no conclusions can be drawn about individuals in the monitored area, making it compliant with data protection regulations.

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. 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 and QbProtect to both walls and poles. For QbProtect, the single/dual sensor mounting is especially useful for fence monitoring applications. 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 and QbProtect, 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 do not increase the false detection rate of any LiDAR sensor but can influence the detection range.
