QbProtect

The Smart 3D Security LiDAR

Smart 3D LiDAR for security applications

Blickfeld’s QbProtect is a smart 3D Security LiDAR designed for advanced physical security. It ensures reliable threat detection and reduces false alarms by producing high-density 3D data and processing it directly on-device. With weather-resistant technology and robust performance in various lighting conditions, QbProtect excels in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Reduced False Alarms

QbProtect minimizes false alarms by using 3D LiDAR to track object size, direction, and speed, allowing precise threat assessment. Customizable parameters ensure that only relevant events trigger alerts. This significantly reduces unnecessary disruptions in security operations.

Reliable Detection in Challenging Conditions

QbProtect ensures accurate detection even in low-light, rain, fog, or snow. With 3D spatial information, it can pinpoint exactly where an object is, whether next to a fence, inside a secured zone, or moving toward it. This level of detail helps optimize security monitoring, ensuring that threats are detected regardless of environmental conditions.

Privacy Protection

3D LiDAR technology is inherently privacy-friendly, as it measures distances and shapes rather than colors or facial features, making the data anonymous. When integrated into systems such as VMS, QbProtect can provide an RTSP stream of the 3D data that ensures GDPR compliance. With no personal identifiers captured, QbProtect is an ideal solution for applications where privacy is a key concern.

Seamless VMS Integration

QbProtect features seamless integration with an expanding list of leading VMS platforms, enabling the generation of ONVIF-compatible events for alarms. This ensures that alerts are promptly communicated to your security management system, facilitating efficient monitoring and response.

Key Software Features

Alarms based on Object Size, Direction and Behavior

QbProtect offers customizable alarm generation based on various parameters, e.g. the size of detected objects (small, medium, large), movement direction or behavior of an object like intruder lifetime. This allows for filtering out small animals, reducing false alarms, and improving detection accuracy.

GDPR-compliant RTSP Stream

Blickfeld QbProtect provides an RTSP stream that adheres to the standard for real-time video transmission while being inherently privacy-protecting. The transmitted anonymous 3D data is GDPR-compliant, as no personal identifiers are captured, making it ideal for applications where privacy protection is a top priority.

Tracking and Sensor Fusion

Blickfeld QbProtect’s tracking feature allows for the tracking of objects detected within multiple sensors fields of view. Parameters such as minimum track length or track lifetime can be configured to determine whether alarms are triggered. This ensures that only relevant objects and movement patterns are monitored and reported.

Integrated Geolocation

With QbProtect’s integrated geolocation feature, a map can be placed in the background of the scene, making it easier to align the point cloud into the environment and providing visual feedback. This helps security officers quickly determine the exact location of intrusions.

The Blickfeld 3D Security LiDAR is the ideal addition to our video, fence and ground detection systems. The ability to precisely detect the position of objects and people even at long distances is a real game changer. The 3D data analysis not only provides us with precise information about the position of people, but also valuable insights into their movement patterns. This shortens reaction times considerably and enables security personnel to act more proactively. I can recommend the Blickfeld 3D Security LiDAR to any company that wants to take its security infrastructure to the next level.

What distinguishes the Blickfeld LiDAR from other solutions on the market isn’t just its analytical power, but also its unique ability to operate independently—no external server or software needed. This capability alone brings tremendous value, allowing for precise, real-time insights without the complexity of additional hardware. In challenging security scenarios, where accurate detection is critical, Blickfeld’s device demonstrates an extraordinary level of precision, capturing movement and details that traditional technologies often miss. Moreover, the flexibility of the Blickfeld LiDAR makes it exceptionally adaptable; it can be easily integrated with other security products, creating a seamless addition to any perimeter protection system.

Thanks to its compact design and protection class, Blickfeld QbProtect is an ideal component for the effective protection of highly segmented private property. Resistant to wind and weather, the sensors can be integrated unobtrusively and flexibly into the surroundings. The simple integration into existing, complex security systems was also key for us.

We are delighted with the performance of the Blickfeld LiDAR technology that we have embedded into our ComPOL solutions. It complements our various onboard detection capabilities and enhances our back office decision support and detection capabilities for our clients especially in complex environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Qb2 and QbProtect?

QbProtect is based on Qb2 hardware, with a specially designed software explicitly for security applications. Users are able to configure their own security zones as well as alarm logic for reliable alarm generation customized to their needs. Users can use our pre-configured flows in order to adapt e.g. data transmissions and corresponding alarm configurations.

How can I integrate QbProtect in my existing security infrastructure?

QbProtect can be integrated into your own existing systems via common interfaces (via TCP/IP & MQTT in VMS or Web I/Os, etc.).

What does detection based on true object-size mean?

QbProtect is able to detect objects based on their true object size via pre-defined parameters that specify the size of an object (distinction between small object, human, big object). Therefore, an exact statement can be made on what kind of object has triggered a detection/intrusion.
