Fence detection as an essential link in site security
In practice, we see that many energy projects rely on a combination of fencing and camera surveillance. This provides visibility, but not always timely detection.Challenges involved:
- Large, sprawling grounds with limited cover
- CCTV footage that only records when a presence is detected
- High chance of false alarms due to movement in the vicinity
- Lack of a direct link between detection and follow-up
The consequence is that notifications often arrive too late or are not reliable enough to act upon immediately.
Fence detection adds an extra layer here by registering activity on the fence itself. This provides earlier and more concrete insight into what is actually happening at the perimeter.
