3D LiDAR-based perimeter protection

Security

The LiDAR security system captures precise 3D data, allowing it to accurately detect the size, movement direction, and speed of objects within its field of view. This system relies on the reliability of the collected information to trigger an alarm only when an object truly enters the security perimeter, ensuring minimal false-alarm-rates.

LiDAR sensors surpass previous security solutions by consistently delivering high-quality data in various lighting and weather conditions. Additionally, they offer robust resistance to compromise or hacking. The three-dimensional nature of the data facilitates privacy-compliant monitoring of properties and buildings across diverse industries while their camera-like handling enables an easy replacement of legacy technology with minimal effort.

The accompanying software analyzes the real-time, high-resolution point clouds. This software enables easy zone definition, observation, and accurate object detection. With these exceptional features, the LiDAR security system provides a dependable solution for ensuring reliable security.

Accurate alarm generation with minimal false alarms

Industries

Energy

Critical infrastructures such as power plants, solar parks, and transformer stations must prioritize security to ensure the nation's safety during emergencies. It is essential to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing these sites to safeguard against tampering with equipment or facilities. To effectively prompt security personnel intervention, minimizing the false alarm rate is of utmost importance. For this purpose, LiDAR-based solutions prove to be the optimal choice. Leveraging 3D data, these solutions provide reliable perimeter intrusion detection throughout the day and night, effectively filtering out vegetation and small animals. The versatility of the LiDAR security system allows it to be employed as a virtual fence, supplementing physical barriers, and securing gates, roofs, and facades.

Aviation

LiDAR security solutions offer significant advantages for large and intricate airport sites. Compliance with §8 and §9 of the German Aviation Security Act can be ensured by monitoring the transition from airside to landside, effectively preventing unauthorized objects from crossing over. Moreover, waiting and holding positions on the tarmac can be reliably monitored and parked aircraft protected from tampering. The three-dimensional nature of LiDAR data renders it impervious to darkness and adverse weather conditions, resulting in minimal false alarm rates. Thus, a LiDAR security system is an ideal choice for the aviation sector.

Buildings & Private Assets

Corporate buildings, embassies, and private properties can benefit from LiDAR security-based security solutions. The 3D sensors can effectively monitor driveways, entrances, and facades. LiDAR technology offers crucial advantages in terms of privacy protection, as the data does not reveal personal information. Furthermore, the discreet design of the Blickfeld sensors and minimal cabling requirements ensure that the architectural integrity of the buildings remains unaffected.

Railway & Traffic

Blickfeld technology leverages highly accurate 3D LiDAR sensors to facilitate real-time traffic monitoring in railway and road systems. The sensors are instrumental in ensuring safety by preventing trespassing and vandalism, thereby safeguarding both passengers and infrastructure. The technology provides comprehensive insights into traffic dynamics, enabling safety enhancements, efficiency gains, and optimized traffic flow management. From collision avoidance to speed monitoring and intelligent traffic light control, the solution empowers transportation networks to operate seamlessly and securely.

Government & Military

LiDAR technology plays a pivotal role in military and government operations, providing precise and reliable data for various applications to operate in challenging conditions. It enhances situational awareness by creating detailed 3D maps of terrains. LiDAR is also used for area monitoring, offering high-resolution imagery for general surveillance and identifying threats.

Applications

Zone Monitoring

With zone monitoring, businesses can detect potential security breaches and detect intruders in real time. This information can be used to enhance security measures and prevent unauthorized access, ultimately resulting in a lower false-alarm rate and preventing alarm fatigue.

Fence Monitoring

Virtual fences around physical spaces enable businesses to secure a perimeter without an actual fence. By monitoring the movement of people and objects with high accuracy, potential security breaches can be detected and anticipated in real time. This way, security measures can be enhanced and unauthorized access prevented, resulting in a safer and more secure environment.

Facade Surveillance

Potential security threats such as unauthorized entry or suspicious activity on the exterior of a building can be reliably detected, and, if necessary, trigger an alarm. In doing so, security measures can be improved as open windows and doors can also be detected, preventing incidents.

Key Benefits

Significant reduction in false alarms

Experience a remarkable decrease in false alarms, thanks to our innovative features such as the cluster zone for alarm generation based on true object size, the exclusion zone, precise threat location pinpointing on a map, and accurate detection of object size and movement direction.

Seamless integration into existing systems

With their camera-like handling, these sensors require no additional expertise for installation and configuration. They seamlessly integrate with existing security systems.

Reliable detection even in harsh environments

Thanks to their solid-state design with an absence of rotating parts and an IP67-rated housing, our sensors offer durability and ruggedness, resulting in minimal maintenance and suitability for indoor and outdoor applications.

Privacy-compliant data

By collecting only anonymized 3D data, our solution ensures that no conclusions can be drawn about individuals in the monitored area, making it compliant with data protection regulations.

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.
