Installation of external intrusion detectors in harsh environments

Abstract

The installation of external intrusion detectors in the Australian environment is considered, taking into account topography, climate, and local fauna specific to Australia. The author considers a number of difficult sites experienced and the techniques and on-site testing used to ensure satisfactory installation. Attention is given to the installation of external passive infrared detectors, infrared lighting, video motion detection, and both active and passive buried line systems.<>
