Flexiguard - Fence and warehouse protection for critical sites

Fence & Warehouse Protection

Flexiguard

A microphonic sensor cable that turns any fence line, wall or warehouse into an intelligent intrusion detection system.

Overview

Flexiguard™ is a microphonic perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS) built around the FS30X series analyzer and a highly sensitive vibration sensor cable, processed in-house to make it the most sensitive microphonic cable available. Attached to the fabric of a fence, the cable detects an intruder cutting, climbing or lifting the fence and raises the alarm before the intrusion.

The same cable also protects buildings. Mounted on the walls of a warehouse or store, Flexiguard™ picks up the vibrations of a forced-entry attempt, extending detection from the fence line to the building itself. Automatic Environmental Control (A.E.C.) is built into the analyzer to prevent false alarms from wind, rain or barbed-wire movement.

Through customer training, advanced techniques can be learned and used to filter out unwanted, unavoidable sources of vibration without risking PIDS integrity.

With extremely low power consumption, Flexiguard™ is ideal for solar-powered installation, and a wireless alarm communication option removes the need for cabling back to the gatehouse. Trusted on some of the world’s most critical sites, including 14.2 km of perimeter around archaeological sites at the Pyramids of Egypt.

How It Works

Detect. Deter. Alert. Record.

01

Detect

The microphonic cable converts fence or wall vibration from an intrusion attempt into an analysable signal.

02

Analyse

A.E.C. Automatic Environmental Control distinguishes genuine attacks from wind, rain and environmental noise.

03

Alert

A validated alarm is raised against the precise detection zone along the perimeter or building.

04

Record

Alarms are passed to Multisys® or any dry-contact system for operator assessment and logging.
