FFT provides fibre optic intrusion detection technologies that help security teams monitor and protect high-security environments of all sizes, including short and long perimeters, remote sites, critical assets, and complex operational areas where accurate, reliable detection matters. Using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), FFT turns fibre optic cable into a continuous detection sensor, helping operators identify, locate, and understand activity along the protected area before it becomes a wider security issue.

What FFT Offers

FFT develops fibre optic sensing technologies for perimeter intrusion detection and infrastructure security.

The product ecosystem includes:

  • Fence-mounted intrusion detection
  • Covert buried intrusion detection
  • Distributed fibre optic sensing
  • AI-powered event classification
  • Location-specific alerts
  • Long-distance perimeter monitoring
  • Security platform integration
  • Centralised monitoring and coordination

These technologies support sites where distance, weather, vibration, electromagnetic interference, limited field infrastructure, or frequent non-threat activity can affect perimeter detection performance.

Why Fibre Optic Intrusion Detection Matters

Critical infrastructure sites often operate across wide boundaries, remote locations, restricted access points, and high-noise environments.

Wind, rain, aircraft movement, vehicles, wildlife, vibration, and nearby equipment can all create activity that conventional systems may misinterpret.

FFT’s fibre optic sensing technologies use fibre cables as a detection layer. When activity occurs along the perimeter, the system analyses disturbance patterns and helps operators determine whether the event requires attention.

This supports:

  • Earlier detection of perimeter activity
  • More accurate location data for response teams
  • Reduced nuisance alarms from environmental activity
  • Better coordination with CCTV, access control, and command systems
  • Scalable monitoring across large or distributed sites

FFT Product Range

Aura Ai-X

Aura Ai-X supports large-scale perimeter intrusion detection across complex infrastructure environments.
It suits sites with long continuous boundaries, multiple detection zones, and high volumes of environmental activity, including airports, utilities, defence facilities, and other high-security sites.

Aura Ai-X helps security teams:

  • Monitor large perimeter environments through distributed fibre sensing
  • Classify intrusion activity against environmental noise
  • Receive location-specific alerts for faster verification
  • Integrate alerts with security and command systems

Aura Ai-XS

Aura Ai-XS provides fibre optic intrusion detection for smaller or mid-sized infrastructure environments.

It is suitable for use in substations, telecommunications sites, distributed industrial facilities, and locations that require reliable perimeter coverage with a more compact deployment footprint.

Aura Ai-XS helps security teams:

  • Deploy fibre-based detection across smaller operational sites
  • Monitor high-noise environments with event classification
  • Maintain perimeter coverage without large-scale infrastructure complexity
  • Connect alerts into existing monitoring workflows

FFT Secure Point

Our Secure Point focuses detection around critical access points, vulnerable zones, and high-value assets.

It is designed for gates, entry points, checkpoints, equipment areas, restricted zones, and other locations that need a targeted detection layer.

FFT Secure Point helps security teams:

  • Strengthen monitoring around access points
  • Improve verification near gates and checkpoints
  • Protect high-value equipment and restricted operational areas
  • Integrate access-point alerts with CCTV and access control workflows

FFT CAMS

FFT CAMS

FFT CAMS provides a central alarm monitoring system for displaying, monitoring, and controlling alarm signals from FFT controllers across one or multiple sites.

This technology is designed for Security teams, control rooms, and operators who need a clear graphical interface for managing alarms, site maps, and connected FFT security assets.

FFT CAMS helps security teams:

  • View alarm activity through an intuitive graphical user interface
  • Manage alarms from multiple FFT controllers in one place
  • Display site maps with GPS coordinates and zoom or pan controls
  • Integrate with external security systems through available development tools
Explore FFT CAMS

Integrations

Our integrations help security teams use alarm data within their existing control room, command centre, and monitoring workflows.

We provide partner-supplied and FFT-supplied pathways that support connections with third-party security management, physical security information management, video management, and alarm monitoring platforms.

These integrations help security teams:

  • Verify alarms through CCTV and camera control integrations
  • Centralise perimeter alerts within broader security platforms
  • Support faster assessment of perimeter events
  • Reduce the need to monitor FFT alarm information separately

Testimonials

FFT technologies are used in high-security and critical infrastructure environments where reliability, support, and detection performance matter. The following feedback highlights how FFT products have supported security teams, integrators, and operators in real-world deployment applications:

The excellent support from OEM suppliers contributed to the overall success of the project and I would have no hesitation in recommending FFT’s solution for future projects.

US Refinery Operator

By far, FFT was the best proposal, best value, and as it turned out, theirs was the lowest price. Both the integrator and the customer were extremely impressed with FFT’s performance, timeliness, professionalism, as well as service after the work was completed. The system is the best we have seen or heard of to date. Every facet of the system exceeded our expectations.

US Army Security Contractor

Risk mitigation of unauthorized access to the Photovoltaic Alex Farm was the major challenge, especially considering its vast territorial expanse. The security solution (comprising PTZ cameras, horn speakers and FFT’s fiber optic intrusion detection) allows the security team to act effectively in the analysis, detection and response of flagged occurrences.
