CATIS Perimeter Intrusion Detection System Genetec Gateway Solution Overview

The IHS3xx Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) is a sensor-based system that employs advanced hybrid detection technologies to deliver a high level of perimeter surveillance. It is compatible with most fence environments and supports the detection and tracking of all types of intruders. 

By utilizing the IHS3xx - Genetec Gateway (RSA Interface), users can monitor the IHS3xx system and configure alarm responses directly within the Genetec Security Center. 

The IHS3xx Sensor is designed for fence-mounted installations, incorporating advanced hybrid detection capabilities to enable both fence line and open area surveillance within a single hardware platform. It employs passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect the body heat of approaching objects and dual-detection technology to analyze vibrations caused by movement on the fence via accelerometer data. This "All-in-One" sensor maintains individual functionalities while integrating enhanced fusion features. 

The IHS3xx sensor provides tri-axis accelerometer data to detect vibrations within approximately 3 meters (up to 5 meters) of the fence. The IHS302 and IHS320 models additionally analyze thermal data within a 180° field and up to 5 meters to detect approaching objects. 

Each Sensor and Data Gathering Unit (DGU) supports dual communication buses, allowing a single DGU to connect up to 500 sensors (250 sensors per port), covering a perimeter of up to 1,200 meters with 3-meter panel spacing. 

Main Features : 

• Directly Mounted on Perimeter Fence: Sensors and system are installed directly on the fence line. 

• Independent Sensor Placement: Sensors are installed centrally on the fence at intervals of up to 5 meters. 

• Continuous Connection: Independent sensors are connected in a continuous daisy-chain configuration using a single cable. 

• Hybrid Detection: Sensors detect "approach" and "vibration" events on perimeter fences. 

• Universal Fence Compatibility: Applicable to all fence types, including traditional mesh, welded wire mesh, and fence tops. 
• System Configuration: The IHS3xx system includes the IHS3xx and IHS3xxRP sensor series, sensor management via DGU, and optional components such as line surge protectors (IHSLP), line splitters, and the digital input/output device (IHS300TB).

Solution Architecture

CATIS Perimeter Intrusion Detection System - Genetec Gateway operation : ​

• ISG communication authentication success.​
• Sends Heartbeat periodically to ISG.​
• Waiting for the DGU to be connected.​
• Manages DGU data when DGU connected.​
• Periodically requests and collects IHS status.​

DGU Operation :​

• Periodically collects IHS data.​
• Attempts to connect to CATIS Perimeter Intrusion Detection System - Genetec Gateway. 

When a DGU is connected : 

• After the status of the DGU (Model) and IHS (Device) communicated with CATIS Perimeter Intrusion Detection System - Genetec Gateway is changed to 'Connected,' the Heartbeat protocol is sent to the ISG.​

• Security Center registers the IHS (Device) data equipment.​

When an event occurs :​

• An event occurs at the IHS sensor.​

• The DGU sends the event to CATIS Perimeter Intrusion Detection System - Genetec Gateway via communication.​

• After CATIS Perimeter Intrusion Detection System - Genetec Gateway generates the data, it sends the Fence intrusion event to the ISG.​

• The Security Center displays the alarm screen associated with the IHS (Device).​
