Perimeter Intrusion Detection System

In today’s volatile world of uncertainty, the need for high-end security has never been more desired. FOMGuard is an intrusion detection system offering a complete perimeter security solution. Through high innovation and engineering ingenuity, the FOMGuard system supplies the most complete and reliable solution for perimeter security today.
FOMGuard secures a perimeter using a Fiber Optic Sensor Net. This smart-fence is installed along the perimeter to be secured over an existing barrier such as a chain link fence, or as a stand-alone type. The net is comprised mainly of fiber optic cable and the design is protected with several patents.

⊙	The new standard ‘FOMGuard’
	FOMGuard is the new high-tech solution developed to make up for the flaws with existing perimeter intrusion detection systems such as Tautwire and Vibration sensors

⊙	The lowest Nuisance / False Alarm Rate
	-Virtually eliminates false and nuisance alarms -Not affected by environmental conditions such as wind, rain, snow, humidity, etc. -Tested through the US Air Force FCT Program -Tautwire and vibration sensors install more lines to increase detection, but this increases cost and false alarms -Other systems can have increased false alarms due to plants and trees growing along the perimeter Incessant false alarms from vibration and tautwire sensors cause many sites to turn off their systems

⊙	No Extra Costs
	-No additional infrastructure such as power supplies and anti-lightning work are required along the perimeter because controllers are indoors -Vibration and tautwire sensors are installed along the perimeter, requiring power and protection from the environment

⊙	Easy & Efficient Repair / Maintenance
	-Cut or damaged lines need to be fully replaced on vibration and tautwire sensors -FOMGuard pinpoints exact location of defective points and is easily repaired through fusion splicing -Low and easy maintenance allows for long term cost benefits

⊙	Cost Effectiveness
	-Perimeter intrusion detection systems operate for over 10 years, making long term cost analysis crucial -FOMGuard requires virtually no additional costs in the long run -Other systems frequently turned off due to false alarms are NOT worth the savings
