Intruder detection tasks place a difficult challenge for any defense system architect. Surveillance solutions must provide large area detection with low false-alarm rates, in areas that are often very close to authorized "innocent" activity. Surveillance technologies must be tested in action to be proven and reliable. CONTROP systems have that and more.
Fences and intervention forces are usually a part of the solution, but early alert is often required and a recognition system is expected to save the burden and the cost of sending the intervention force for every detection.
This scenario usually dictates a solution using Day and Night cameras which allow the operator to visually check every alert, 24 / 7.
But what about the early warning system? A reliable system should actually detect intruders before they reach the fence or the restricted areas.
Traditionally, solutions for these dilemmas used a Radar System. But this does not save the need for visual recognition of the suspected intruder, so the defense system architect had to pay both for the Radar System and for the Observation Systems.
CONTROP introduced a different concept of intruder detection providing SPIDER and CEDAR Systems which act like "Optronic Radar" with panoramic scanning capability of large areas.
These systems provide the visual recognition mission using long range Day and Night cameras, both with a continuous optical zoom lens.
Like modern Radar Systems with track-while-scan capabilities, these systems can observe the detected target while continuing the scanning for additional intruders. This capability eliminates the common dangerous scenario of giving all the attention to the first detected target and therefore not looking for another target in the same time.
CONTROP's Intruder Detection Systems can save the investment of both Radar and EO Systems, or can provide a solution in parallel to the Radar System, using the synergy of both systems when operating together.
