Why Utilities need smarter perimeter security
A need for reliable wide-area intrusion detection with fewer false alarms
1. i-PRO Security Radar and Perimeter Protection
Unique capabilities designed to simplify deployment and improve detection reliability for utility sites
Protecting critical infrastructure perimeters requires more than basic intrusion detection. Utility operators need solutions that can cover large outdoor areas, reduce false alarms, and support faster visual verification in complex environments. With advanced security radar capabilities, utilities can strengthen perimeter protection, improve operational efficiency, and deploy reliable detection across substations, treatment plants, coastal facilities, and other remote sites.
*i-PRO Security radar is available only in Americas, New Zealand and Vietnam.
Built for demanding outdoor environments, i-PRO Security Radar helps utilities improve wide-area intrusion detection while simplifying deployment and verification. From long-range detection and AI PTZ tracking to salt-resistant models for coastal sites and a built-in camera for easier setup, these capabilities support more reliable perimeter security across a wide range of utility applications.
Why choose i-PRO Security Radar
Analytics for smarter perimeter detection
Enhance situational awareness with intelligent video analytics
Advanced video analytics help utility operators detect, verify, and respond to perimeter events with greater accuracy. From loitering detection and intrusion detection to virtual line crossing and access control, these analytics improve situational awareness across critical infrastructure sites while helping teams reduce unnecessary alerts and respond more efficiently.
Combined with security radar, intelligent analytics give utilities a more proactive approach to perimeter security. They support earlier threat detection, faster verification, and improved visibility before, during, and after an event, helping operators protect critical infrastructure more effectively.
2. Controlling Access Roads
Enhance access control and vehicle monitoring across utility sites
Managing access roads is essential for protecting utility sites and maintaining secure day-to-day operations. From power generation facilities to solar farms and other critical infrastructure locations, operators need better visibility over incoming vehicles, movement patterns, and potential risks at entry points. With intelligent monitoring capabilities, utilities can strengthen access control, improve site awareness, and support faster decision-making.
Advanced video analytics help utilities monitor vehicle activity more accurately across access routes and site entrances. Capabilities such as direction detection, vehicle detection and search, and speeding detection support more effective vehicle monitoring, help identify unusual behavior, and improve control over authorized and unauthorized access. This enables security teams to reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and maintain safer movement across the site.
3. Securing Workers
Improve worker safety and support faster incident response across utility sites
Protecting employees and contractors is a critical priority across utility sites, where hazardous environments can increase exposure to accidents, safety incidents, and emergency situations. From power plants and substations to remote industrial facilities, operators need better tools to strengthen worker safety, improve on-site visibility, and respond more quickly when an event occurs. A more proactive safety strategy helps reduce risk while supporting safer and more resilient day-to-day operations.
Intelligent video analytics and real-time alerting help utilities take a more proactive approach to workplace safety. Capabilities such as sound classification, fall detection, real-time alerts, and privacy protection support earlier awareness, faster intervention, and more efficient incident response. These technologies help security and operations teams improve situational awareness, protect workers in high-risk environments, and maintain compliance while safeguarding personal data.
4. Incident investigation & alarms
Accelerate investigations with integrated AI search and real-time alerts
When incidents occur at utility sites, security teams need to find relevant footage quickly and respond without delay. Tools for incident investigation and alarm management help operators search events more efficiently, improve visibility across large amounts of video data, and support faster decision-making. By reducing the time needed to review footage, utilities can strengthen situational awareness and improve response across critical operations.
With AI-powered search, free text search, and attribute-based filtering, utilities can investigate people and vehicles with greater speed and accuracy. Integrated real-time alarms, searchable event data, and analytics-driven investigation tools help teams detect patterns, review incidents faster, and improve operational efficiency. This creates a smarter approach to video investigation that supports stronger security operations across critical infrastructure environments.
5. Securing Data
Strengthen cybersecurity and protect critical utility operations
As utilities become more connected, protecting data, devices, and network infrastructure is essential to maintaining secure and reliable operations. From control rooms to remote sites, operators need technologies that support strong cybersecurity, reduce exposure to threats, and help safeguard sensitive information across critical infrastructure environments. A secure foundation is key to operational resilience and long-term trust.
Advanced security standards, trusted component design, and secure device architecture help utilities strengthen data protection and defend against evolving cyber threats. With a focus on cybersecurity, compliance, and long-term reliability, operators can better protect connected systems, support secure surveillance operations, and reduce risk across their security ecosystem. This approach helps utilities maintain business continuity while improving confidence in their digital infrastructure.
6. Budget Constraints
Maximize performance and flexibility while controlling security investment
Utility operators are under constant pressure to improve security and operational visibility while working within tight budget constraints. As sites become more complex and distributed, organizations need solutions that deliver stronger protection without requiring a full system replacement or significant additional infrastructure. A more cost-effective approach helps utilities modernize security operations while protecting long-term investment.
Technologies such as free edge AI applications, the X-Series for upgrading existing cameras, high product resilience, and multi-sensor cameras help utilities improve coverage and analytics while reducing total system costs. By adding edge AI capabilities to installed devices, limiting the need for additional servers, and minimizing blind spots with fewer cameras, operators can modernize video surveillance without replacing their entire system. This supports better ROI, greater scalability, and more efficient security operations across utility sites.
