Today, prison security is a high-technology operation with officers relying on a multi-layered approach to ensure the maximum safety of staff, visitors, and the incarcerated. This involves implementing robust security solutions to prevent escapes, combat contraband and stop unauthorised access. From identifying an individual approaching or climbing perimeter fencing to detecting contraband being thrown over a wall or managing access to prohibited locations, as prison populations continue to rise, it’s critically important to properly secure the changing correctional landscape. FFT's fibre optic perimeter intrusion detection technology has long been used by prisons, corrections facilities and immigration detention centres to deliver the highest level of security at these critical sites. Exceptional event classification and continuous improvement through deep learning deliver detection and location capabilities that are second to none. With the highest probability of detection combined with the lowest possible nuisance alarm rate, FFT PIDS ensure an immediate response to intrusion alerts and potential threats every time.
FFT technology is installed at correctional facilities and detention centres globally, providing high-quality and ultra-reliable perimeter detection while minimising unwanted alarms.
Identifies and locates an intrusion in real time to within ± 2 metres (6.5 feet) on a fenced perimeter of up to 80 kilometres (50 miles) in length and to within ± 5 metres (17 feet) and up to 110 kilometres (70 miles) on covert buried installations.
Using the FFT CAMS monitoring software platform, alarm signals from individual or multiple controllers on a single site or group of sites can be displayed together in a simple to understand Graphical User Interface.
Integrates with industry leading physical security systems, video management and situational awareness platforms using standard and proprietary interfaces to combine inputs from a wide range of security devices with intrusion detection information.
Even when a sensor fibre is cut or damaged, FFT technology continues to detect events occurring between the controller and the cut. When sensor fibres are connected to two channels of the controller (or two controllers) in a redundant loop configuration, events can be detected to within 10 metres (33 feet) either side of the cut.
