Electrostatic outdoor sensor by Senstar-Stellar makes allowances for inclement weather

Senstar-Stellar’s new Intelli-FIELD is a terrain-following, volumetric sensor that creates an electrostatic field between parallel field and sense wires. The resulting zone of detection is high and narrow and surrounds wires mounted on freestanding posts or a fence adjacent to or between physical barriers. The wires present a visible, formidable barrier to the potential intruder.

Intelli-FIELD is said to be less susceptible to environmental conditions such as weather and other factors causing nuisance and false alarms than other electrostatic field sensors. The processor analyzes a compound signal consisting of amplitude change (mass of the intruder), rate of change (movement of the intruder), and the time the intruder is in the detection field. An intrusion alarm is activated when these changes occur within specified limits. Senstar-Stellar says its sensor will detect a mass of 77 pounds (35kg) moving at a speed between 2 inches (5cm) per second to 26 feet (8m) per second, with a probability of detection greater than 99%.
