Senstar, a world leader in perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDs) and video management solutions, and a Platinum Award Winner in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to introduce enhancements to its FiberPatrol FP1150 fiber optic intrusion detection sensor.
“Initially launched in 2018, the FP1150 is a compact, rugged and highly integrated addition to Senstar’s FiberPatrol line,” explains Product Manager Stewart Dewar.
“Now with its extended detection range, support for a variety of deployment applications, and simplified per-meter licensing, the FiberPatrol FP1150 is a comprehensive, market-leading, multi-purpose intrusion detection solution for sites of all sizes.”
Originally designed for fence applications and offering intrusion detection coverage up to 10 km (6.2 mi) per processor, the FP1150 can now detect intrusions up to 80 km (49.7 mi) per processor for fence, wall-top and buried applications, and up to 100 km (62.1 mi) for pipeline and data conduit Third-Party Interference (TPI) detection.

As well, to simplify planning and budgetary processes, Senstar has implemented a per-meter licensing model, allowing customers to license only the sensor coverage distance they require, but with the option to add additional coverage at any time.
Other enhancements to the FiberPatrol FP1150 include upgraded processing specifications (CPU, memory), software support for redundant sensor units, and sensor unit versions for backwards compatibility.
How It Works
-
The FiberPatrol FP1150 works by transmitting pulses of laser light into a single-mode optical fiber and accurately measuring the minute light reflections that occur along its length.
-
A disturbance of the fiber caused by fence vibrations changes the amount of light returned from that point.
-
FiberPatrol’s reflectometry-based technology does not require the light to traverse the full length of cable.
-
If a cable is cut, FiberPatrol retains the ability to detect and locate intrusions up to the point of the cut, thus enabling the system to support cut-immune configurations.
Senstar’s FiberPatrol FP1150 Features Include:
Protect Sites With Confidence
-
With supported distances of up to 80 km (49.7 mi), FP1150 is ideal for protecting a variety of sites, including airports, campuses, and petrochemical facilities.
-
Its advanced detection algorithms detect and locate intrusions while rejecting events caused by distributed weather conditions like heavy wind and rain.
-
True detection of simultaneous events
-
For organizations, this results in higher security, higher system confidence, and lower nuisance alarms.
-
Offering cut immune configuration options (When the sensor cable is cut, either accidentally or in an attempt to defeat the sensor, the FP1150 immediately reports the incident, including its exact location.)
-
Requires no power or data infrastructure in the field
-
Is immune to lightning and EMI and requires no conductive components or grounding points in the field
-
Provides software configurable detection zones
Enhance Existing Fence
-
The FP1150 works with chain-link, welded mesh and expanded metal mesh fences.
-
A single pass of sensor cable provides effective protection for fences up to 4.3 m (14 ft) in height.
-
The sensor may also be used on palisade-style fences depending on the specific characteristics of the fence.
Gate Protection
-
The FP1150 sensor cable can be installed on swinging gates to provide detection, and the gate area itself can be configured as an independent detection zone.
-
Sliding gates are typically protected with Senstar’s Wireless Gate Sensor or UltraWave microwave sensor.
Buried Perimeter Detection Applications
-
When an intruder moves across the ground above a buried fiber optic sensor cable, whether walking, running, or crawling, characteristic vibrations are created.
-
The system distinguishes these from background vibrations, and the FP1150 declares an alarm when the detection criteria are met.
Wall-Top Applications
-
For walled perimeters the FP1150 sensor cable is mounted at the top corners of the wall.
-
Any impact to the sensor cable by an intruder’s hands, feet, or climbing aid will be detected by the system.
-
For highest security the sensor cable can be installed on both the inner and outer sides of the wall.
Networking and Integration
-
With built-in Ethernet and support for Senstar’s UltraLink family of I/O cards, the FP1150 can work with virtually any security system.
