Abstract
An intrusion detection fence and system is provided. In one embodiment, the fence includes a plurality of trip wires secured between a pair of anchor posts, a plurality of detector posts anchored in the ground, located between the anchor posts, at least one actuator attached to each of the detector posts, the actuator also being coupled to each of the plurality of trip wires; and a detecting device attached to the actuator and secured to each of the detector posts. The deflection or cutting of any of the plurality of trip wires activates at least one of the detecting devices adjacent to the activated trip wires.
Claims34
An intrusion detection fence, comprising:
- a plurality of trip wires secured between a pair of anchor posts;
- a plurality of detector posts anchored in the ground, located between said anchor posts;
- at least one actuator attached to each of said detector posts, said at least one actuator also being attached to each of said plurality of trip wires;
- a detecting device attached to said at least one actuator and secured to each of said detector posts;
- wherein deflection or cutting of any of said plurality of trip wires activates at least one of said detecting devices adjacent to said activated trip wires.
A fence according to claim 20, and further comprising a second actuating wire attached to and tensioned between the top and bottom ends of said anchor post and attached to said second detecting device.
An intrusion detection system, comprising:
- a fence having:
- a plurality of trip wires secured between a pair of anchor posts,
- a plurality of detector posts anchored in the ground, located between said anchor posts;
- at least one actuator attached to each of said detector posts, said actuator also being coupled to each of said plurality of trip wires;
- a detecting device attached to said at least one actuator and secured to each of said detector posts;
- and
- a control center coupled to each of said detecting devices, said control center comprising:
- a processor for determining and indicating the location of detecting device activated by the deflection of any of said trip wires.
