Solaris from PROTECH (a US-based manufacturer) is the first autonomous long range active infrared barrier of its kind in the perimeter security industry.
Solar-powered (with integrated battery) and wireless, this invisible fence requires no civil engineering (up and running in hours) for coverage of 328 feet (100m) per system which can be linked together with other systems for large perimeters.
SOLARIS guarantees exceptional performance in all weather conditions and does so with its proprietary design anti-condensation, anti-ice caps.

SOLARIS Active Infrared Beam
The SOLARIS self-contained infrared barrier columns form a “virtual” (invisible) wall/fence to detect unwanted intrusions.Solaris Active Infrared Beam
Powered by a solar panel and highly efficient integrated battery, installation requires little to no civil engineering.
Communication occurs through a dynamic radio mesh network (through proprietary protocol) to and from all SOLARIS columns that transmit alarm information reliably and efficiently.
This communication uses the highly secure Advanced Encryption Standards (AES 256).
Each SOLARIS column integrates a powerful radio transmitter/receiver with low power consumption.
When the infrared barrier sensor detects an intrusion, alarm information is collected by all nearby infrared columns that retransmit information automatically.
The alarm message is relayed to a radio coordinator connected to the MAXIBUS 3000 hub.
The alarm center receives an intrusion alert notification.
In the event that one SOLARIS column is missing (or down) in the network, an alert is triggered for notification, acting like a watchdog for individual column status reporting.
Solar-powered, Wireless Infrared technology for perimeter protection features include:
- EASY INSTALLATION: Independent barrier, no civil engineering or cabling required, columns are bolted to concrete block – operational in minutes
- RELIABILITY: Communication through secure radio protocol. High probability of detection. Patented design anti-condensation / anti-ice caps prevent the formation of ice and condensation on IR cover – exceptional performance in all weather conditions
- INNOVATION: 1st autonomous, long-range 300 feet (100m) infrared barrier in the industry
SOLARIS is an ideal solution for sites that require high-security perimeter surveillance with minimal infrastructure, cost-effectively:
- Utilities / Sub-stations / Control centers
- Nuclear plants
- Correctional facilities as a secondary layer of perimeter protection
- Logistics sites / storage and warehousing
- Car dealerships
- Industrial complexes, etc.
SOLARIS is being used throughout the world at highly sensitive sites required advance warning of unwanted attacks and threats.
