HERAS LAUNCHES THE NEXT GENERATION OF PERIMETER
INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEMS AS PART OF FM
Heras has launched the next generation of
perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDSs)
to provide even greater levels of perimeter
protection, for use at sites with specific security
and perimeter protection requirements.
Its new GeoMic and GeoPoint systems – which both
have pro versions – are designed to complement
and greatly increase the overall eˆ ectiveness of both
existing and specified perimeter
protection fence and gate lines.
PIDSs are usually perimeter
fence mounted (but they can also
be wall or ceiling mounted) and
are installed on the fence fabric
to detect any potential intruders
attempting to enter the site by
climbing over, cutting through or
even going under the fence.
When an intrusion at the
perimeter meets the alarm criteria, PIDSs will
transmit an alarm signal directly to an alarm panel
and/or integrated soœ ware management system
(SMS) so that the onsite security team (or designated
staˆ ) can verify, and act upon, the alarm in an
50 APRIL 2022
appropriate and timely manner.
Heras has identified three critical attributes that will
increase the performance capability of its PIDSs. The
first is the improved analyser algorithms to deliver
added intelligence and categorisation of threats.
The second is the multiple configuration options to
match the site situation and reduce false alarms. The
third is the improved communication and integration
options. These improvements
mean that the PIDS performs
more accurately, delivers better
information and can be used in
combination with other security
measures.
GeoMic uses a discreet
microphonic sensor cable (alpha)
that listens for sounds – such
as those generated from an
intrusion attempt – around the
entire perimeter. These sounds are converted into
electrical signals that are transmitted to the GeoMic,
which analyses the signal and then generates an
alarm output, if the signal meets the configured
alarm criteria.
The new
GeoPoint
sensor
system
utilises
multiple
sensors
that are
distributed
along the
fence line
to detect movement and vibration. These sensors can
be set up individually with reference to sensitivity and
functionality, dependent on the mounting location.
The sensors can be grouped into multiple unique
zones around the perimeter. This enables moreaccurate
visual verification of an intrusion when used
in conjunction with video security management.
Heras is hosting a free webinar, which will also
explore how the PIDSs can be integrated into existing
security systems and how they can reduce risk and
add value to businesses. The 40-minute session is
at 10:00 on Thursday 17th June. To register go to

IT SEEMS INCREDIBLE BUT THE WATERBLADE IS NOW FITTED
TO AND SAVING WATER FOR FACILITIES MANAGERS AND THEIR
CLIENTS IN WASHROOMS ON OVER 10,000 TAPS IN THE UK ALONE
That adds up to in excess of 50
million litres of water saved every
year. We believe that this is because
the Waterblade o ers the best
handwashing using the least water,
and that this is unequalled by any
other nozzle modification.
Additionally, the energy saving from
heating less water gives over two
million Kilowatt hours saved every
year.
For the need to reach Zero Carbon,
that is over one million kilos of carbon
every year saved by heating less water.
That is not all. The embodied carbon
in the water is a growing saving,
with energy intensive desalination
producing increasing amounts of the
UKs’ water supply.
The pandemic has highlighted both
the importance of handwashing, and
addressing our water and energy usage levels. The
usage by around five per cent, and even reduce your
Waterblade can reduce your whole building water
whole building energy usage by one or two per cent
as well. This can be implemented with
minimal fuss in a day, and produce year
on year savings for building owners with
a Return On Investment of three to six
months.
We know that if you fit a Waterblade
to one of your taps, in minutes, you
shall very quickly be able to assess the
benefits of fitting it to all your washroom
taps, and show it to other stakeholders.
So we are happy to send you a free
sample.
Note; We are confident in our ability to
credibly back up all the claims we make
about our product, and happy to share
trial and other data should you request.
Waterblade is UK manufactured and
WRAS approved.
