The Canadian manufacturer of perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) Senstar has announced RoboGuard. It’s described as an autonomous perimeter surveillance robot.
RoboGuard travels on a monorail and patrols a secured perimeter. It makes regular inspections of the fence line and can respond to suspected intrusions. A complete system consists of autonomous robots, each covering up to one kilometre (0.6 miles), with a battery charging station for every two robots.
Jim Quick, President of Senstar Inc. said: “Senstar is very excited to bring this innovative technology to market. We see huge benefits for customers who wish to augment their perimeter security systems, especially in remote unmanned sites or where timely first response by guards is expensive or impractical.”
The product has two primary modes: routine patrol, in which the robot scans and searches for perimeter anomalies such as holes in the fence or suspicious objects; and response mode, in which the robot acts as first responder and rushes to an intrusion alert.
Jim Quick added: “Senstar is also pleased to announce that RoboGuard has been recognised as Security’s Best 2014 by ASIS (American Society of Industrial Security), as part of the annual Accolades programme. We are honored to receive this esteemed award and look forward to exhibiting at ASIS to show this solution to customers and partners.”
RoboGuard will be showcased at the Senstar booth (705) at ASIS 2014 in Atlanta, from September 29 to October 1. Senstar will also show FlexZone, its fence-mounted ranging sensor announced earlier this year, as well as their cyber-security line of products.
