Intrusion Detection
Software-based perimeter and intrusion protection that raises real-time alerts when a person or vehicle crosses a boundary line, enters a restricted zone, breaches a site perimeter, or climbs a fence. Uses your existing IP cameras as a replacement for physical sensor fences — covering indoor restricted areas, outdoor site boundaries, and after-hours zones from a single edge device.
Key Features
Discover the powerful capabilities that make Intrusion Detection stand out
Virtual line-crossing (tripwire) detection with direction awareness
Zone intrusion — alert on entry into any defined restricted area
Perimeter breach — monitor a site's outer boundary or fence line
Fence-jumping and climbing detection
After-hours and schedule-based arming — zones active only during set hours
Person and vehicle detection with object-class filtering
Low false-positive design — filters wind, lighting changes, and small animals
Instant alert with evidence image and video clip
Multi-zone, multi-camera coverage from a single edge device
Fully software-based — no PIRs, sensor wires, or fence hardware required
Technical Specifications
Detailed technical information about Intrusion Detection
Prerequisites & Limitations
What Intrusion Detection needs to run reliably, and the operating limits to plan for.
Prerequisites
- Camera: 2MP+ IP/RTSP covering the boundary line, zone, or fence to be monitored
- Adequate illumination — pair with an IR illuminator for night-time perimeter coverage
- Stable bandwidth between camera and edge/server — roughly 4–8 Mbps per 2MP H.264/H.265 stream
- Mounting for a clear view of the boundary with minimal obstruction from foliage or glare
- Stable power and network at the deployment point
Operating Limits
Indicative figures — actual limits depend on hardware, scene, and configuration.
Deployment Models
Intrusion Detection is available in 2 deployment models. Choose the option that fits your infrastructure.
