After Deployment
Once your custom sensor network is deployed (see: deploy for more), you can immediately start tracking intruders. Vortex Systems provides a comprehensive set of tracking software and messaging tools to make this process streamlined and easy. Intrusion signals captured by the network are immediately visible in tools like Google Earth and ESRI ArcGIS. In addition, alert messages are automatically dispatched to one or more responders via email, SMS or pagers. All network activity is stored in a secure database for backup, analysis and reporting. Sensor models and configurations are stored for inventory management and maintenance. System software can be deployed on a single laptop or scaled across many computers. Network signals and alert messages are monitored and delivered locally or worldwide. System users can maintain data locally or can share data across departments and agencies worldwide.
Vortex Systems sensors are state of the art and can detect a wide variety of intrusion activities. Our small and ruggedized sensor units utilize top notch components, radio and battery technology to provide sophisticated, long-lasting performance that will survive the harshest environments. Custom embedded software allows our units to intelligently interpret remote activity and can accurately distinguish direction of movement, classification of humans, and motorized vehicles, as well as custom stimulus such as exterior contact. All sensors units come with built-in seismic, and tamper sensors. Sensor units also have external ports which can be used to attach third party sensors like chemical, radiological and fire sensors. Lithium batteries allow our units to run for typically over a year. Smart software automatically detects a low battery state and forwards a report to the end user. Finally, our powerful 5 watt custom radios securely deliver messages over a long range to base stations at network operations center or via a network of signal repeaters.
Tracking
- Configure software to route signal messages from specific sensors to specific responders via email, SMS or pagers.
- Load Vortex SensorTrack routing and logging software, Google Earth or ArcGIS on one or more laptops or desktop computers.
- Wait for incoming signals and respond accordingly. Signal information includes sensor location and up to 13 types of intrusion information.
- Filter and export system data to spreadsheets, word processors or other third party software for analysis or sharing of information.
