PERIMETER & BORDER SECURITY
Continuous fiber-optic intrusion detection up to 130 km (2×65 km) per interrogator: fence, barbed-wire, and buried ground sensing with counter-directional ring redundancy and certified Genetec Security Center RSA integration
Continuous Acoustic Control of Extended Perimeters and Approaches
The K-DAS distributed acoustic sensing system converts a standard single-mode telecommunication fiber-optic cable (ITU-T G.652) into thousands of continuous seismic and vibration sensors spaced every 1.6 to 10 meters. A single dual-channel interrogation unit installed in an equipment room monitors up to 130 km of perimeter boundary (two independent arms up to 65 km each).
Unlike point vibration sensors, active infrared beams, or radar barriers, the linear sensing element requires no field power supply, electronics, or intermediate cross-connect cabinets. The dielectric optical cable is completely passive, intrinsically explosion-proof (Ex), and immune to lightning strikes, high-voltage power lines, and electromagnetic interference.

Early Standoff Detection Distances on Perimeter Approaches
When buried in the approach zone, the passive optical sensor detects personnel and vehicles long before physical contact with the perimeter fence:
50–300 m from cable
Movement and excavation by heavy construction and earthmoving machinery
50–60 m from cable
Approach and movement of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
15–30 m from cable
Manual digging with shovels, tunneling attempts, and unauthorized ground works
5–10 m from cable
Single or group human footsteps and stealthy approach (crawling)
Perimeter Sensing Layouts & Ring Survivability
• On perimeter fencing & barbed wire: direct attachment to chain-link, welded mesh, or concrete fences to detect climbing and cutting.
• Buried in ground (up to 130 km / 2×65 km): shallow burial at 0.3–0.5 m forms a completely invisible passive boundary (up to 65 km per arm) with zero field power.
• Dual-line contour: two parallel sensing lines determine the exact crossing direction (vector) and speed of intruders.
• Ring redundancy: counter-directional optical polling maintains 100% coverage across the entire perimeter upon a single cable cut.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Answers to key engineering and operational questions regarding fiber-optic perimeter intrusion detection systems:
A single dual-channel K-DAS interrogation unit monitors up to 65 km per single arm and up to 130 km across two optical channels (2×65 km). For compact sites up to 10–20 km, the single-channel K-DAS Light modification is used. Intrusion localization accuracy along the optical cable is up to ±5 meters (spatial sampling interval configurable from 1.6 m), with a response time of 3–6 seconds.
The sensing fiber can be attached directly to perimeter fencing (chain-link, welded mesh, concrete, barbed wire), buried stealthily at 0.3–0.5 m depth, or deployed in a dual-line contour to determine intruder crossing direction (vector) and speed. When connected in a loop to both optical channels of the interrogator, counter-directional ring redundancy maintains 100% perimeter coverage on both sides of a single complete cable cut while immediately pinpointing the break location.
Time-frequency and multi-channel spatial filtering algorithms analyze the acoustic phase profile across adjacent sensing zones simultaneously. Distributed weather disturbances (wind gusts, heavy rain, snow, tree vibrations) and isolated impulses from small animals are automatically filtered out from genuine security threats such as human footsteps, fence climbing, mesh cutting, manual digging, and vehicle approaches.
The system features official certified integration with Genetec Security Center RSA (Restricted Security Area), enabling real-time GIS alarm mapping, automated PTZ camera and thermal imager steering, and coordinated operation with perimeter radars and access control systems. Over 20 K-DAS units can be unified into a single network exceeding 1,500 km, with open integration via REST API, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, JSON/XML, and dry-contact relays.
