Nuclear Facility PIDS Design Guide
Design nuclear-facility PIDS with layered detection, assessment cameras, alarm-station workflow, health monitoring, bypass control, and witness testing.
Border Security DAS Perimeter Detection Design Guide
Design border-security DAS for long corridors with route segmentation, terrain coupling, camera verification, patrol workflow, nuisance suppression, and acceptance tests.
Data Diode Integration for Isolated Perimeter Security Networks
Design one-way data diode integration for isolated perimeter security networks with sender and receiver proxies, backlog, failover, and acceptance tests.
Geospatial Perimeter Alarm-to-Camera Mapping
Design deterministic perimeter alarm-to-camera mapping with surveyed routes, uncertainty envelopes, tested visibility polygons, fixed/PTZ selection, fallback, and field acceptance.
ONVIF Profile M for Perimeter Events and Metadata
Apply ONVIF Profile M to perimeter workflows with exact conformance checks, event-contract mapping, gateway boundaries, conditional interfaces, and VMS validation.
How to Calculate PIDS Probability-of-Detection Sample Size
Plan defensible PIDS detection trial counts using exact binomial confidence, zero-failure calculations, allowed-failure designs, stratification, and controlled reporting.
Blind PIDS Intrusion Testing Protocol for Site Acceptance
A practical protocol for blind intrusion trials on installed PIDS, covering frozen configurations, randomized tests, ground truth, alarm verification, failures, and controlled retesting.
Welded-Mesh Fence Installation Design for Fiber PIDS
A practical design and commissioning guide for fiber-optic PIDS on welded-mesh fences, covering panel coupling, seams, posts, cable protection, nuisance alarms, and field testing.
Chain-Link Fence Attachment Design for Fiber PIDS
Design chain-link fiber PIDS attachment around fence condition, secure-side routing, posts, corners, toppings, gates, protection, inspection, and field acceptance.
When DAS Is the Wrong Perimeter Detection Technology
Use this no-fit framework to decide when continuous DAS should be replaced, narrowed, or combined with zone, point, buried, radar, or video detection.
Fiber PIDS Fence-Retrofit Bill of Materials
Build a procurement-ready fiber PIDS retrofit BOM covering sensing cable, attachments, gates, enclosures, power, integration, testing, and handover.
Fiber PIDS Proof of Concept Plan and Test Template
A site-specific fiber PIDS POC template covering test governance, environmental baselines, blind trials, performance evidence, integration, and acceptance handoff.
