INDIANAPOLIS — STANLEY Security has expanded its alarm verification portfolio with a thermal perimeter detection solution. The offering is said to provide a reinforced layer of identification and verification protection against intrusion, theft and damage in outdoor spaces with the use of thermal sensors and intelligent analytics.
STANLEY Thermal Perimeter Detection utilizes outdoor thermal sensors to detect an intruder’s heat signature, while intelligent analytics discriminate between humans and environmental noise, according to the company. This combination allows for everyday movements that may cause false alarms — headlights, reflections, small animals, trees — to be disregarded while identifying possible threats.
Unlike outdoor security cameras and other detection solutions, the company states that its new thermal solution can also identify intruders within complex lighting, complete darkness or harsh environmental conditions like fog, rain or snow.
Each perimeter can be customized based on the requirements of the customer, whether detecting an intruder climbing a fence or entering an off-limits zone normally void of foot traffic, according to the company.
Once an alarm is activated, alarm details and thermal video evidence are instantly transmitted to the company’s monitoring center for verification. Upon verification of an actual intruder, police are notified of a crime-in-progress, which normally results in faster response times, according to the company. This increases the probability of apprehension and reduction of business losses due to theft and damage.
“Thermal sensors are essential for businesses, industrial sites, warehouses and other commercial properties that have high-value assets stored outside their facilities,” says Brad McMullen, vice president marketing and product solutions, STANLEY Security. “With the combination of thermal sensors and advanced analytics, our Thermal Perimeter Detection solution allows STANLEY’s expert monitoring team to quickly verify intruders, reduce false alarms and increase the probability of police apprehension.”
