Perimeter intrusion detection

A perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS) is a device or sensor that detects the presence of an intruder attempting to breach the physical perimeter of a property, building, or other secured area^[1]^[2]. A PIDS is typically deployed as part of an overall security system and are often found in high-security environments such as correctional facilities, airports^[3], military bases, and nuclear plants.

Types of PIDS

A wide range of intrusion detection technologies exist in the current marketplace. The U.S. Army, as part of their reference material for personnel responsible for planning and executing security programs, divides PIDS technologies into the following categories^[4]:

Passive IR
Active IR
Microwave detectors
Near-IR beam break
Fence-mounted
Taut wire
Ground motion
Ported coaxial cable
Seismic
Acoustic
Magnetic
Break wire
Electrostatic field
