Southwest Microwave’s INTREPID Perimeter Security System Integrates With Genetec Security Center

Southwest Microwave has announced a robust new plugin from Genetec Inc. that enables seamless integration between our INTREPID Series II perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) and the Genetec Security Center unified security platform.

The Southwest Microwave INTREPID RPM II Plugin provides interface to the INTREPID MicroPoint II Fence Detection System, MicroTrack II Buried Cable Detection System and MicroWave 330 Digital Microwave Sensor, optimizing flexibility and control for a range of security-sensitive perimeter protection applications. 

The advanced user interface in Genetec Security Center allows operators to receive real-time notification of intrusion alarms or tamper attempts from INTREPID sensors, and to monitor video surveillance associated with these events, maximizing preparedness and response to perimeter breach or sabotage.

The system’s extensive graphic mapping tools enable clear association of sensors, detection zones and alarm information to user’s custom site maps, enhancing visual assessment capability.Additional actions can be executed when an alarm is triggered to automatically initiate video recording, and automating notifications to security personnel

Superior Intrusion Detection

As the industry’s highest performance detection systems, INTREPID MicroPoint II and MicroTrack II locate intrusion attempts to within 3 m (10 ft) while ignoring harmless disturbances such as wind, rain or vehicle traffic. Camera presets within Security Center may be programmed to tie into INTREPID detection zones, providing immediate visual assessment of alarms at the precise location of the disturbance.

Additional actions can be executed when an alarm is triggered, such as displaying camera footage on the operator screen, automatically initiating video recording, and automating notifications to security personnel. 

Genetec Security Center

Genetec Security Center enables users to manage all of their security operations from a powerful and intuitive client interface, which closely maps perimeter security infrastructure. The platform incorporates access control, video surveillance and license plate recognition, as well as a range of third party security and business systems, for a completely unified management platform.

“There is strong alignment between the scope of end users who rely on our INTREPID PIDS suite to protect infrastructure and assets, and those employing the Security Center unified platform,” said Maira Zanrosso, Director of Sales and Marketing at Southwest Microwave. “This new plugin responds to customer demand for seamless integration of two trusted technologies, and simplifies real-time detection and assessment, which is critical for an effective perimeter security program.”
