Security and Surveillance Achieved with LeddarTech Optical Barrier

Quebec City, QC -- (SBWire) -- 07/07/2015 --Premises that require a high level of security often have a physical fence, but this is not always enough. LeddarTech has a customer with a high-security establishment who was looking for a reliable detection system that would alert security personnel to the presence of potential intruders. The organization was particularly interested in a sturdy and weather-proof system that would offer 24/7 detection, regardless of the weather conditions or the time of day; it had to work just as well on bright sunny days as on cold stormy nights. The customer was on a tight schedule, so the system had to be quickly and easily installed and simple to operate.

The Leddar™ Sensor uses a novel, inherently eye-safe technology that performs detection and ranging by time-of-flight measurement using infrared light pulses. For this type of application, a series of Leddar sensors are installed on posts all around the perimeter, creating a highly efficient optical detection barrier detecting any unwanted presence. The detection status of each sensor is sent to the security control center and is used to alert security personnel and provide the exact location of a potential intruder. Moreover, the high reliability of the Leddar technology installation produces very few false-alarms, further adding to the efficacy of the LeddarTech solution.
