Abstract
We describe Rapid Deployment Intrusion Detection System (RDIDS), and Relocatable Intrusion Detection System (RIDS) systems which can be designed for operation in any weather conditions. They are impervious to salt air, chemical and most explosive environments, and are highly resistant to nuisance and false alarms. Therefore, RDIDS and RIDS have the flexibility needed for urban, rural and remote installations. RDIDS was developed in the 90´s, with the encouragement of TRW, for the US Air Defense System in Cape Kennedy, Florida, Fort Hood, Texas and more recently for the D.O.E. Strategic petroleum Reserve sites. These systems utilize photovoltaic power as their primary source of energy with twelve-hour battery backup. Security systems can be integrated with Radio Frequency (RF) polling transceivers operating in the VHF or UHF range. Further, RDIDS can be engineered to interface with fiber optic technology, thereby ensuring quality transmission in rural environments. Fiber optic cable integration has proven its effectiveness in outdoor environments as a reliable transmission source when using CCTV cameras. The fiber optic module can be used for monitoring the tamper and alarm circuits as well as video transmission. These technologies offer additional flexibility and substantial cash savings when compared to hard-wired installations. RDIDS can be deployed for a wide variety of special applications and can be operational in a fraction of the time required for conventional systems
