Apparatus and system for monitoring, tracking and managing security for borders and perimeters

A method of securing a perimeter, including deploying, mapping, and extracting data from nodes, the method comprising the steps of:

• determining a real-time location of a deployment vehicle and sending to and storing thereon said real-time location to the nodes;
• updating and replacing the real-time location with an updated real-time location thereon the nodes;
• deploying one or more nodes, consisting of one or more sensor nodes, or said one or more
• sensor nodes coupled with one or more communications nodes, over an assigned location using the deployment vehicle;
• ceasing updating of real-time location during the deployment of nodes;
• collecting deployment order and sequence data of the nodes;
• comparing the assigned location with the updated real-time location for each of the nodes to validate location, deployment order and sequence data of the nodes;
• mapping each of the nodes with a real-world map;
• fetching a real-time location of the nodes and transmitting the fetched location to a data center;
• creating a map of the nodes with their original locations;
• dividing the map into a grid assigned with the real-time location of the nodes;
• establishing grid coordinates by receiving signals broadcasted from the communication nodes;
• fetching sensor data, including passive infrared and vibration data, corresponding to an intruder;
• identifying sensor data, including passive infrared and vibration data, associated with the intruder;
• generating an interdict signal based on the identification of the spectral signatures associated with the intruder;
• and
• reporting the interdict transmission signal via a data center to control or disrupt the intruder near, at, or through a perimeter.

A system for identifying intruders over a secure perimeter, the system comprising:

• an apparatus comprising:
• one or more nodes consisting of one or more sensor nodes, or said one or more sensor nodes coupled with one or more communications nodes, arranged in a suitable configuration wherein the apparatus comprises:
• one or more sensor nodes, said nodes consisting of a processor and a plurality of sensors including, at least, a sensor to detect vibrations and a faceted passive infrared (PIR) sensor lens configured on a dome-shaped portion to gather and direct light reaching said dome-shaped portion to the PIR sensor, and
• one or more communications nodes consisting of a processor;
• wherein the sensor nodes and the communications nodes includes:
• a generally flat portion incorporating a coin cell and a circuitry arrangement;
• a second portion comprising a dome configured on and sealed along a periphery of the flat portion to prevent humidity from penetrating inside the circuitry arrangement;
• a wire antenna tail configured to absorb impact energy and to increase a probability that the nodes come to rest flat side down when the nodes contact a ground or other surface after being deployed;
• a data center communicatively linked to the communication nodes of the apparatus via a network interface to receive data from the nodes;
• a processing module linked to the data center, configured to process and generate one or more results from the received data using an artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) module;
• and
• one or more computing devices communicatively linked to the data center via the network interface, wherein the one or more computing devices receives one or more notifications based on the one or more results related to intruders detected by the sensor nodes.
