Fibre optic intrusion detection systems have several advantages over taught wire systems including requiring no maintenance in the field, being immune to lightning and radio frequency interference, and being compatible with radar systems. Future Fibre Technologies is a global leader in fibre optic security solutions, with over a million meters installed worldwide. Their systems can detect and locate intrusions along long stretches of fence with high detection rates and low false alarms.

2. Why Choose Fibre Optic IDS?
Fibre Optic Intrusion Detection Systems are the latest, and proven time
and time again the most effective systems in the market today.
TAUGHT WIRE IDS VS. FIBRE OPTIC IDS
Very High Maintenance No Maintenance
Installable on almost all fence
Requires Exact Fence Type
types and can be retro-fitted
Requires Power in the field No power required in the field
Immune to Lightning and all
Susceptible to Lightning
forms of RF / EMI
Cannot to be used in combination Cable consists of only plastic and
with some radar systems glass, and has no effect on radar

3. Why Choose FFT?
Since 1994 Future Fibre Technologies has been a leader in
developing advanced fibre optic sensing solutions for security
applications. With 100’s of installations worldwide and a network of
international offices and partners, FFT has a truly global footprint.

4. FFT – The Company
• FFT has a large sophisticated customer base. Well over
a million meters installed at hundreds of sites globally
• Delivers proven, advanced technologies with real-world
installations, including several airports and airbases
• FFT’s business is totally focused on fibre optic intrusion
detection solutions
• A worldwide presence for support, sales and training,
including office in Gurgaon
• FFT is committed to R&D, advancing detection
technologies and signal processing techniques

5. Secure Fence System
FFT provides unique fibre optic intrusion detection
solutions that:
• Operate over long distances - up to 80km or 50
miles of sensor cable with a single system
• Pinpoint the location of an event or intrusion to
10 meters (typical), with maximum of 25 meters
• Have high detection rates (POD)
• Have low nuisance alarms (NAR)

6. Detection Events
The FFT Secure Fence product will work with almost all
fence types, such as Chain Link, PVC Coated Chain Link,
Weld Mesh and Palisade.
The system will detect and locate on all intrusion events,
for example:
• Cutting of fence fabric and cable
• Lifting of fence fabric
• Climbing fence fabric or posts

7. Principle of Operation

Inactive lead- Fibre optic sensing cable Passive Terminator
in cable
• A fibre optic cable is used as the sensor
• A steady laser light is sent down the fibre
• When any motion or vibration acts on the fibre, the light
wave is affected and this change is detected and the
event is classified using patented FFT technology

8. Secure Fence Installation

9. Signal Discrimination
• Uses proprietary FFT developed technology –
delivering high sensitivity to intrusions without the
penalty of nuisance alarms
• Employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) to process the
signals, identifying and eliminating nuisance alarms
due to environmental noise such as rain, wind,
aircraft, traffic etc. while simultaneously maintaining
the same high levels of sensitivity
