1. Introduction SensoGuard Develop advanced intrusion detection systems for a broad range of applications. SensoGuard Team composed of engineers with more than 10 years of experience in development of intrusion detection systems based on seismic technology for both civil and military use.

General InvisiFence Security System provides a comprehensive solution for perimeter protection. InvisiFence operates with seismic sensors which are installed below ground, creating an invisible perimeter fence around the secured area. The system recognizes threats whenever fluctuations are sensed in its vicinity and sends an early warning before the intrusion actually occurs. The InvisiFence is designed to provide the optimal solution for protection of perimeters, borders, prisons and large infrastructure sites.
3. System Components Seismic sensors- the seismic sensors sense very small ground vibrations. They transform vibration to electrical outputs. We analyze those vibration signals to detect intruders Communication cables - the communication cables connects all of the processing units of the system to the hub. All of the units get the power supply and the RS485 data through this cable Processing units the processing unit can analyze a signal from 3 seismic sensors. The processing unit analyzes the data on real time and outputs the processing result to the RS485 line
Hub units a hub unit can manage a line of 600m of InvisiFence processing units. The hub outputs the alerts to the user via C&C program (contact SensoGuard to get more info about our C&C program) or through dry contacts or serial communication in SensoGuard protocol (if required, we can adjust our messages to a client request).
4. Hierarchy of system components Every 3 seismic sensors are connected to a processing unit. Every processing unit analyzes the signals of those sensors and decides whether the signal is environmental noise or an event (footsteps, vehicle, digging). The hub collects the processing units outputs and sends the alerts to C&C computer or GSM modem. A hub is required every 600m approx. Data Flow of InvisiFence
5. Processing unit Connections 6. Connector 1-3 Marked Ch1-Ch3 : Connection of the seismic sensors channels 7. Connector 4 Marked COM : Configuration connection to PC using RS232 protocol 8. Connector 5-6 Marked Network In, Network Out: network connection using RS485 and power input Connect the cable connector to the panel connector (red dots face each other), you should hear a click when the connector is properly connected to the unit panel. Connect all the connectors only after deployed all the sensors it is crucial to keep the rubber cover on the connectors at all time remove them only when you connect the connectors to the processing unit (put them back on when you open the connector) Make sure you connect the sensors to the correct processing unit the first unit in the line is unit 1, the second unit is unit 2 and so on. It is important to the HUB unit that the processing units will be in the right order
6. Detection Pattern The seismic sensor has ball shaped detection pattern. Each sensor creates a ball shaped detection area around itself and detects every operation in this ball shaped zone. Sensor detection area InvisiFence system detection area
7. System Installation In terms of maintenance it is recommended to use inspection chambers for the processing units (those chambers can be with open bottom, as for the processing units are water sealed IP67 rating Preparing a trench: Dig a trench at the location of the InvisiFence system. Trench dimensions: Width=10-30cm Depth= 40cm Dig to 50cm at the locations of the sensors to be placed. (If possible, it is best to dig the whole trench to 50 cm depth)
Seismic sensor placement Fix the sensor at the bottom of the trench (at the proper location default distance is 6 meters between sensors)). Make sure that the sensor is straight as shown below Make sure that the sensor stuck well in the ground and doesn t move Cover the sensor gently with soil without stones and tighten lightly - so that the sensor will not move or change his angle
Cover the communication cables with soil without stones so that the cables will not move, and be protected from big stones or rocks 8. Sensitivity Test After finishing deploying all the sensors and connecting them in the right order to the processing units and connect all the processing units to the HUB unit you can start the sensitivity test 1. Set the sensitivity to level 1 Move 20 meters from the sensors line Wait for 30 sec Make sure there is no movement in the area Walk across the sensors line between sensors 1.1 and 1.2 Check the C&C software for an event + hear the beeping sound from the processing unit If you got an event in the C&C repeat those steps between sensors every two sensors along the sensors line. In case you don't see an event in the C&C software set the sensitivity level to 2 and repeat the test between the 2 sensors. In case you don't see an event in the C&C software set the sensitivity level one level up and check again until you receive an event in the C&C software After finishing checking the intruder event along the whole sensors line, repeat those steps for Car event (only if necessary) It is possible to set different sensitivity for each event on each processing unit
9. SensoGuard Command and Control software The InvisiFence system outputs alert data in the following options: Dry contacts connection Serial communication (RS232 or RS485) RF transmission GSM- via SMS messages SensoGuard command and control software The SensoGuard command and control software provides graphical user interface which includes a map view of the system installation area, and enable the operator a more convenient, user friendly way to respond to system alerts. The software includes a list of the installed processing units and hub on the field, a map view of the installed units. When the system detects an intruder, a siren sound can be played (configurable setting) and the operator can see immediately an icon in the relevant location in the map and also the alarm data in the event log.
