Capabilities - Intrusion & Perimeter Detection
Intrusion & Perimeter Detection sets virtual boundaries around restricted areas and perimeters, and flags people, vehicles or objects that cross or linger in them. Simple motion alarms go off for animals, shadows and moving plants. This system recognizes what crossed the line, so it can tell real intrusions from that noise. It is designed to protect facility perimeters, construction sites, critical infrastructure and restricted zones inside buildings.

How it works - Intrusion & Perimeter Detection in three steps
How Intrusion & Perimeter Detection works with the cameras you already run.
- Connect Perimeter Cameras. Use your fixed or pan-and-zoom cameras along fence lines, building perimeters and restricted zone entries. Thermal cameras cover the night.
- Zone and Tripwire Analysis. Draw virtual fences, no-go zones and loitering areas on the camera view. The system identifies what crosses them (person, vehicle or animal) and is designed to ignore swaying trees, wildlife and moving shadows.
- Flag and Track Intruders. A breach is flagged for your security team to review, with video, what crossed and its location on a site map. Cameras that pan and zoom can turn to follow the intruder. Every event is logged with a video clip for later review.
Features
What Intrusion & Perimeter Detection can do.
- Virtual Fence Lines. Draw tripwire lines on a camera view. The system flags a person or vehicle that crosses the line in a specified direction, ignoring movement on the permissible side.
- Exclusion Zone Monitoring. Define polygonal zones where no human or vehicle presence is permitted. Any object entering the zone is flagged, with configurable dwell-time thresholds to filter brief incursions.
- Loitering Detection. Identifies individuals who remain near a perimeter or restricted area beyond a configurable time threshold, flagging potential reconnaissance or unauthorized lingering.
- Object-Aware False Alarm Filtering. Classifies detected motion as person, vehicle, animal, or environmental (shadow, vegetation, rain). Only human and vehicle intrusions are flagged for security, reducing nuisance alarms.
- Camera Auto-Follow. When a breach is detected, cameras that pan and zoom can turn to keep the intruder centered as they move, for continuous close-up footage.
- Multi-Camera Handoff. Tracks an intruder across overlapping camera views, maintaining a single persistent identity as the person moves along the perimeter. Provides a continuous trajectory on the facility map.
- Thermal and Regular Cameras Together. Combines thermal and regular cameras to detect intruders in complete darkness, fog and bad weather, when regular cameras alone see little.
Use cases
Applications of Intrusion & Perimeter Detection across industries.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Power plants, water treatment facilities, and data centers require continuous perimeter monitoring. Virtual fences along fence lines and access roads can detect intrusion attempts day and night, supplementing physical security barriers.
- Energy
- Utilities
- Government
Construction Site After-Hours Security
Construction sites with expensive equipment and materials are vulnerable to theft after work hours. Perimeter cameras with virtual fence lines can flag anyone who enters the site outside scheduled work windows for security to review.
- Construction
Warehouse and Distribution Center Security
Large warehouse perimeters are difficult to patrol continuously. Camera-based intrusion detection can cover the perimeter and loading dock areas, flagging unauthorized entry while ignoring scheduled deliveries in designated zones.
- Logistics
- Manufacturing
- Retail
Military and Government Facility Perimeters
Secured facilities require multiple layers of intrusion detection. Camera-based virtual fences can provide an independent detection layer that operates alongside physical sensors, radar, and patrol schedules.
- Government
- Defense
Restricted Zone Enforcement Within Buildings
Hospitals, laboratories, and corporate offices have internal zones where access is limited. Zone monitoring can flag unauthorized people entering server rooms, pharmacy storage, or executive areas without badging through access control.
- Healthcare
- Corporate
- Research
Solar and Wind Farm Perimeter Security
Renewable energy installations span large, remote areas with minimal on-site staff. Thermal-visible camera pairs along access roads and fence lines can detect intrusions and flag them for remote monitoring staff to review.
