Artificial Intelligence for Intrusion Detection?

A Close-up on Sensor Fusion by Senstar

Sensor fusion is still a relatively new technology in perimeter security circles. With this newness often comes misunderstanding. Sensor fusion is the process of combining simultaneous inputs from different types of sensors to extract meaningful signals using machine learning techniques to derive intelligent results from potentially unclear inputs. It analyzes data streams from security cameras, fence sensors, volumetric sensors, and other inputs to identify events like intrusion attempts or even maintenance needs.
Sensor fusion systems cannot extract subtle features from the constant stream of sensor data they process unless they’ve been first trained. Training involves collecting large amounts of data to systematically fine-tune the algorithms. Even more importantly, it learns what sorts of patterns don’t merit attention, even when those patterns might fool simpler systems. A sensor fusion system might detect simultaneous fence vibration AND camera movement, yet still be able to recognize a false alarm triggered by the wind and nearby, non-threat, human activity. Or conversely, produce an intrusion alarm with high confidence even when a skilled intruder is employing a method to defeat a specific sensor. The sensor fusion system can also be fed with historical information about the site and the outcome of alarms, allowing it to learn as it goes and improve its ability to correctly sense security issues.

Perimeter Intrusion ­Detection Systems (PIDS) with AI

Another system that can be used with AI technology comes from Bandweaver. They use AI technology or detection algorithms to develop an acoustic fingerprint of different events. This enables the distinction between genuine security risks and extraneous environmental noise. Advanced signal processing technology combined with intelligent algorithms enables fast and accurate identification of the specific location of a potential threat to within ±5m.
They utilise their Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) to ensure that organisations are fully secure and to help reduce operational risk. The fiber optic intrusion detection solutions provide both covert buried and fence or wall mounted detection capabilities from a single detection unit. With fully scalable systems for sites less than 5 km to more than 100 km, all PIDS detection units are offered in a 1 or 2-channel variant. The 2-channel variant will continue to provide uninterrupted detection along the perimeter. This remains true even if the cable is cut or damaged.
But not only securing fences and larger grounds is important, another reason to deploy an intrusion detection system or a security system is to protect valuable assets. Taking a closer look at what video security can do in supporting an intrusion detection system, we have been looking at an application story.

Automotive Repair Franchise deploys Security System

Business success drove the Australia-based mechanical repair specialist Florida Automotive to a large new facility. With expensive equipment and client assets on-site 24 hours per day, and the new workshop positioned in a quiet industrial area, the automotive repairer put a new, state-of-the-art security system in place. For the installation, they chose an innovative solution from Hikvision. Working with the installer and Hikvision representative, Florida Automotive deployed a converged solution built around Hikvision cameras, NVR, indoor stations, and centralized management software.
The Intercom Door Station was deployed at the main gate, capturing a wide field of view as individuals and vehicles approach. It also provides remote control to the main gate of the repair shop for afterhours access. A two-way audio is set up at the front gate as well, allowing for easy communication between the reception or manager’s office, and whoever happens to be at the gate. A KH8 Series Indoor Station was deployed in the reception area to control access to the main gate.
Additionally, two control points for the security system were created, one at the reception area, which combines with the front gate system for easy and convenient operation, and another in the manager’s office, which includes four 50-inch monitors for full and clear observation and monitoring.
“We are very happy with our system design and infrastructure, especially the fact that we are able to check and control the system remotely. This means that we are able to avoid most of the false alarms by checking the live view and activating it from wherever we happen to be,” said Florida Automotive’s Nilanga Lakshan Kirulapana.
“It’s quite a relief that such a large area containing expensive customer vehicles is adequately safeguarded, and we are fully compliant with security regulations and insurance guidelines.”

The Value of Radar

Moving forward to another perspective, radar technology opens a whole other dimension of intrusion detection.
For many years, the question of which sensor technology fits best for an application was easy to answer. When searching for a cheap and uncomplicated motion sensor, PIR was the choice. For commercial intrusion detection and alarm systems the integrators often had only a low budget. So they accept the possible troubles of PIR in outdoor applications. Radar was only used for more sophisticated functions. But now radar sensors are tackling the low-cost segment. They became smaller and cheaper, but also offer more features. This development could disrupt the market of motion detection. Especially for intruder detection, radar convinces with additional functionality which make the application more efficient and reliable.

Radar Motion Detection for Intrusion Alarm

Between modern radar sensors and PIR, only a small price gap is left. This persuades security technology companies to leave behind negative presumptions from the past and consider radar detection for their alarm system.
So what can they expect from new radar devices? The sensors working under difficult environmental conditions like dust, dirt, rain, snow, heat or cold. It is possible to notice the presence and the movement of vehicles, animals or people. The determination of moving speed and direction and also the distance optimizes the detection efficiency. It allows to make individual adaptions to the use case scenario. This reduces false alarms and improves the performance of the security system.
Intrusion systems based on radar technology only record security-related events (and not curious neighbors or roaming animals). For example it is possible to sort out irrelevant events like passing cars. With configuration of the sensitivity small animals like cats can be filtered out, so they won’t trigger an alarm.
