IDAS

Intrusion detection and assessment systems are integral parts of any physical protection system. Detection and assessment provide a basis for the initiation of an effective security response. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) should be designed to facilitate the detection of attempted and actual unauthorized entry into designated areas and should complement the security response by providing the security force with prompt and actionable intelligence to initiate an appropriate response. The methods deployed for detection and assessment should be robust with highest level of protection for the specific application. In the design of the detection and assessment aspects of a physical protection system, various methodologies should be incorporated to provide a fully integrated detection capability. The integration of various detection and assessment methodologies not only contributes to a superior detection and assessment capability, but also provides multiple overlapping layers that support each other if one method fails.
