CIAS TECHNOLOGIES FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES

copertina ADV gamma completa x SITO
Critical infrastructure, such as energy, water, transportation and telecommunications, is essential to every modern society and requires extremely reliable security systems to prevent damage that could be catastrophic. An innovative, comprehensive and layered approach to perimeter protection integrates the world of sensors with the world of video surveillance, allowing all perimeter sensors to operate synergistically with an integrated level of security.
Perimeter security is composed of passive and active measures: Passive systems (like fences or walls) serve to delay intrusion as much as possible; while active systems will detect and define the actual intrusion attempt. This ensures a greater margin of intervention in the shortest possible time, ideally no more than 3 seconds.
Any optimized system will take 3 seconds or less to detect and qualify the intrusion, send an alarm to the control room, in order to launch the right response.

THE LAYERS OF SECURITY

Explore Our Products
Specific intrusion detection technologies are recommended for each layer or sector of a perimeter. The outermost perimeter of the sensitive site is called Sector 0, which is normally undefended such as a road.

Sector 1 is the physical boundary of the sensitive site and can be protected by passive defenses such as walls or exterior fences, which can be made active by the application of intrusion detection systems on fences, for example. We call it – turning a dumb fence into a smart fence.

Sector 2 is the outer perimeter between the building and Sector 1, usually a buffer corridor, where electronic barriers such as: microwave, infrared or triple technology can be placed

Finally, Sector 3 is the building surface, which may include windows and facades normally protected by radar. Video surveillance, in conjunction with all sensors, completes the supervision of the perimeter.

Here are the technologies typically used:

Protection on the fence

There are several useful technologies for fence protection, or Sector 1, which can be fiber optic systems, magnetophonic cable, or MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) accelerometer-based sensors. They are designed to detect different intrusion attempts such as climbing over, cutting or lifting the fence.

Sioux Pro2 Mems

Innovative MEMS accelerometer-based sensor for rigid and flexible fences with high sensing accuracy

Microwave Barriers

Microwave barriers are one of the most reliable and secure intrusion detection systems used in outdoor perimeter protection, between the building and the first layer, the so-called Sector 2. These barriers perform seamlessly, even in adverse weather conditions, maintain a very high level of detection while maintaining an extremely low rate of false alarms, suitable for protecting high-risk sites.

ERMO482X3PRO

Fuzzy Logic digital bistatic microwave barrier with parabolic antenna and volumetric coverage up to 500 meters. Designed for outdoor perimeter protection, efficient in all weather conditions, the most common choice in extreme security situations.

Micro-Ray

The first barrier on the market with linear microwave beams for perimeter protection, with a range of up to 100 meters, and Fuzzy Logic analysis inside. Ideally suited for very narrow corridors, Micro-Ray combines the advantages of traditional microwave technology with those of linear protection, normally served by the infrared barrier.

  • Microwave Technology and Health

Are microwaves bad for your health?” or “Are you concerned about using microwave technology?

Do you want to know more?” We can dispel the myth.

Short-range Radar and sensors

Radar and sensor technologies ideal for the perimeter protection of building facades, entranceways, balconies, terraces, gates, as well as dead zone coverage (sector 3) including sally ports, for example, in perimeter installations where proper crossing of microwave barriers cannot fill the “gaps” and additional protection is needed.

Murena Plus

Short-range radar sensor with microwave technology (receiver and transmitter in 1) can analyze and filter out unwanted movements, up to 24 meters, to dismiss small animals or large objects such as vehicles as an intrusion, effectively handling improper alarms. Ideal for the protection of doorways, windows and building facades

Integrating perimeter sensors with video surveillance

Complementing protection on all layers (1, 2 and 3) of perimeter security is that of video surveillance, which works in collaboration with the sensor to visually identify and verify information coming from intrusion alarm reporting.

CIAS is not a camera manufacturer however we continue to actively work with a multitude of leading VMS and PSIM platforms with the use of video analytics to bring video together with our sensors.

SYNAPSES

Self-adaptive multi-sensor system with video analytics and deep learning criteria that can increase the performance of your perimeter system. It analyzes and classifies targets detected in the camera's field of view, and then sends this information to sensors, which dynamically adapts their detection thresholds, generating a certified alarm and eliminating false alarms.

Integration with the CCTV world

Through dedicated protocols opening communication with major VMS and PSIM platforms, we are able to directly connect CIAS perimeter protection systems with video surveillance systems to ensure immediate video verification of alarms.

Data collection systems

All CIAS sensors can communicate with the control center via simplified wiring, and continuous polling to detect alarms, tampering or faults. Through 485 bus, fiber optic or Ethernet, remote maintenance is also possible. The CIAS data collection system is compatible with sensors of other brands to allow status display on synoptic or maps. CIAS integration efforts over the years has enabled interaction with third-party systems such as alarm control panels, access control, and CCTV, for complete perimeter defense.

Explosion proof protection

CIAS’s Explosion proof line of products is designed to ensure maximum safety in high risk environments where explosions could occur, such as petrochemical plants, distilleries, military and critical industrial sites.

Explosion proof devices are enclosed in EExd IIC T6-certified explosion-proof enclosures, complying with the European 94/9/EC directive, for absolute reliability even under the most extreme conditions.

ERMO482X3PRO - Explosion-proof

Explosion-proof versions of the ERMO482X3PRO microwave system, ideal for perimeter protection in hazardous areas (refineries, chemical plants, etc.). EExd IIC T6 certification according to Directive 94/9/EC. Available in 60 m and 125 m models.

MURENA PLUS

Doppler radar for protection of passageways and sensitive areas in environments. EExd IIC T6 certified housing, complying with Directive 94/9/EC. Available in 12 m and 20 m range, for localized installations in explosive environments.
