Early detection and visual verification safety and security solution

Xtralis, provider of early detection and visual verification safety and security solutions, has announced that version 1.14 of its IntrusionTrace has been approved as a primary detection system for operational use in sterile environments by the UK Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB).

Xtralis IntrusionTrace is downloadable intrusion detection analytics for the Adpro FastTrace 2/2X that enables primary detection for operational use in sterile zone applications. It is designed to eliminate false alarms, allowing operators to monitor more sites with greater accuracy. The system can be remotely configured and running in minutes without the necessity of sending a technician to the user site.

The Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems (i-LIDS) is the UK government’s benchmark for video analytics (VA) systems. i-LIDS is comprised of a library of CCTV video footage based around ‘scenarios’ central to the government’s requirements. Sterile zone monitoring addresses alarm events consisting of the presence of people in a sterile zone between two security fences. The approval means that government and other mission-critical security users can confidently implement IntrusionTrace for an array of sterile zone monitoring applications, assured that the solution provides the highest level of accuracy in diverse real-world environments. This is the third Xtralis product to receive this certification, as Xtralis Presidium was approved in 2008.

“We strongly recommend our customers only to deploy i-LIDS primary detection certified video analytics solution,” says Markus Piendl, Senior Consultant of Security and System-Management at strensys GmbH in Oberammergau, Germany. Piendl is an international perimeter security specialist with more than 15 years’ experience in the market and 1400 projects. He adds: “We’ve seen dozens of projects in the perimeter security sector where a variety of national/international vendors have not fulfilled any standards in terms of algorithms for video analytics. These systems caused a lot of problems and it was necessary to change them. Thanks to the HOSDB, i-LIDS is now a well-known standard globally. FastTrace 2/2x loaded with i-LIDS certified IntrusionTrace and combined with intelligent ADPRO PIRs delivers an excellent perimeter protection system that can be trusted for the toughest jobs.”

Since being introduced in September 2012, IntrusionTrace has been deployed on thousands of FastTrace 2/2X video channels in a diverse variety of security applications around the world including government facilities, military and law enforcement sites, retail, warehousing, solar parks, and critical infrastructure like water, power and telecommunications plants.
