Intelligent fire detection and security solutions specialist Xtralis has introduced the ADPRO Presidium Mini – a new version of its proven intelligent intrusion detection system designed specifically to provide optimum detection performance at minimum false alarm rate in outdoor perimeter and area protection applications.
Incorporating more than 20 years’ of research and development, the Presidium Mini uses flexible lighting compensation, multiple scene models and practical object filters to give the highest likelihood of detecting intruders under a wide range of environmental conditions.
End users should note that detection can be tailored for specific applications based on the perceived threat level, with performance not being compromised during periods of scene change such as those caused by cloud shadows or moving vegetation.
Automatic scene learning
The Presidium Mini also features automatic scene learning and intelligent algorithms to dramatically reduce false alarm rates caused by small animals, trees and their shadows, car headlights and adverse weather conditions (such as heavy wind or rain).
The system’s reliability and performance is complemented by its ease of installation and commissioning. An intuitive, PC-based graphical user interface (GUI) boasts an intelligent pre-configured settings feature that enables quick set-up either on site or remotely over IP.
Comprehensive facilities are also provided that enable easy integration with Xtralis ADPRO FastTrace (AFT) and FastTX as well as the PRO Series range of PIR detectors to offer a complete remote site security solution. Security managers should note that easy integration with third-party CCTV control systems is also possible.
Configured for the perceived threat
“The Presidium Mini can be flexibly configured for specific applications based on the level of perceived threat to a site,” explained Hamish McKirdy – director of sales for Xtralis in EMEA – in conversation with SMT Online. “Specifically, it can work in combination with the PRO Series of external PIR detectors, delivering a solid yet cost-effective solution for high-security applications.”
From an installation perspective, the ADPRO Presidium Mini has a small hardware footprint suitable for desktop installation or wall-mounting. A purpose-built hardware platform and dedicated, embedded software combines with real-time system monitoring to maintain uninterrupted and reliable operation.
Designed for low-voltage operation
In addition, the new product is designed for low-voltage operation, suitable for mounting either where mains voltage is not available or not practical and is easily supported during mains failure.
To assist installers directly, ADPRO provides manuals, full documentation and information on the web as well as helping from the outset with system design, including site visits. The company also provides a commissioning service to help security installers fine-tune the technology to meet the design specification issued by the end user.
