Inductive Circuit Sensor for Intrusion Detection
Over the last forty years, balanced magnetic switching (BMS) has become the standard form of intrusion detection for secure sites throughout the United States. BMS systems rely on permanent magnets which can detect if a door has been opened or closed but not when it has been breached or penetrated. High security sites require enhanced forms of intrusion detection to supplement BMS systems. Alternative systems such as video analytics or passive infrared sensors perform best in static ambient conditions, which are difficult to maintain and frequently result in nuisance alarms.
