A pressure sensitive perimeter intrusion detector comprises at least two pressure sensitive housing members adapted for the transmission of acoustic waves in response to pressure applied to the exterior of the housing members. Each housing member is capable of providing a first electric signal in response to seismic waves or ground vibrations. In addition, distributed along the housing members are pressure-sensing elements for detecting pressure applied along the housing members. These pressure-sensing elements for each housing member provide a second electric signal having substantially no time delay. The first and second electric signals are transmitted to an evaluation circuit adapted to produce an alarm signal in response to the detection of an intrusion occurrence.

Intrusion detection system

An infrared detector is described for monitoring a corridor like room having a plurality of focusing means for the collection of infrared radiation emitted by an intruder. The field of view of each focusing means is oriented so as to form a continuous field of coverage in the space to be monitored, without gaps or areas of limited sensitivity. Furthermore, the solid angle subtended by each focusing means is chosen so that the sum of the energy received from the intruder in the monitored area and focused onto the infrared sensor by the multiple focusing means is insensitive to and independent of the range of the intruder from the monitoring device.

Range insensitive infrared intrusion detector

An intrusion detector with a plurality of reflector segments that focus infrared energy from a corresponding plurality of detection zones onto a common sensor. Uniform coverage of a rectangular area with detection zones and detection sensitivity unaffected by distance is achieved by means of a reflector segment arrangement in which the reflector segments are mounted on supporting structures and in which the distance from the sensor and therefore the focal length of the reflector segments is substantially proportional to the detection distance. The reflector segments are staggered horizontally and vertically on the supporting structures such that the centrally positioned reflector segments are set lower and have a different shape than the laterally positioned segments, and whereby the number of reflector segments is reduced with decreasing detection distance such that the density of the detection zones is uniform throughout the retangular protected room.
