SENTFOCNX(DC)

SENTINEL FOCUS is an advanced DAS system designed to identify and accurately locate intrusions along an extensive perimeter.

NIS' SENTINEL FOCUSNXTMand SENTINEL FOCUSLXrepresent the latest evolution of Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS). These advanced systems feature state-of-the-art long-range fiber optic sensors powered by Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), enabling them to detect, classify, and pinpoint the exact location of perimeter intrusions with unmatched accuracy.

Proven in the most demanding environments, SENTINEL FOCUS solutions are actively deployed to safeguard highly classified U.S. Government facilities as well as critical infrastructure sites. By leveraging the unique properties of optical fiber, they provide an invisible, tamper-resistant sensing medium that offers full perimeter protection without introducing blind spots.

HOW IT WORKS

Both SENTINEL FOCUS models employ Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology to monitor optical fibers that are covertly buried and/or fence or wall-mounted along borders and facility perimeters. When physical intrusions create vibrations that reach the optical fibers, the interrogator discerns changes in the light. Then, machine learning-based Al instantly and simultaneously classifies the type of intrusion, such as walking, tunneling, climbing or fence cutting, and pinpoints the location of the intrusion with an accuracy of up to 1-meter resolution.

TWO MODELS TO MEET VARYING MISSION REQUIREMENTS:

  • SENTINEL FOCUSLX – Optimized for shorter distances, this cost-effective solution requires less processing power and is ideal for protecting smaller sites or facilities where perimeter lengths are more limited.

  • SENTINEL FOCUSNX – Designed for longer distances, this model provides greater processing power and expanded coverage, making it the preferred choice for large-scale installations where uninterrupted monitoring across extended perimeters is critical.

Together, SENTINEL FOCUSNX and FOCUSLX provide a scalable, flexible platform that enables organizations to select the right balance of coverage, performance, and cost for their specific security needs.

  Identifies disturbances such as vehicle/person approach, digging, cutting, climbing, and fabric lift
  Extreme sensitivity using next generation DAS technology
  Detects intrusions along perimeters up to 150 km in length (per port)
  Pinpoints the exact location of intrusion events
  Low installation cost, using a single strand of telecommunications grade optical fiber
  Immune to EMI/RFI and lightning
  No electronics or powered devices in the field
  Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

ALARM RESPONSE MANAGEMENT

SENTINEL FOCUS integrates with our INSIGHT Alarm Response Management software, offering a comprehensive, real-time view of your security posture. In another industry first, INSIGHT’s Event Processor takes event information from multiple sensors and other devices and analyzes the order and severity to provide intelligent alarms based on more than a single factor.  SENTINEL scales effortlessly from single to multi-site installations to meet any security need.

For users with existing security systems, our INTERLINK software integrates seamlessly with third-party platforms, allowing you to leverage current infrastructure while enhancing security capabilities. With INTERLINK, achieve streamlined security management across your ecosystem.
