Difference Between Thermal Anti-Intrusion System And AXIS Perimeter Defender

Ennio, I am very familiar with the M15 thermal in perimeter detection applications but less so with Axis Perimeter Defender. To effectively secure a perimeter with a Mobotix thermal camera one would rely on their motion detection algorithm aptly named Mx Activity Sensor. With properly configured motion zones and possibly even meta-events, the M15 thermal is a formidable perimeter surveillance solution.

Axis Perimeter Defender as I understand it is a dedicated analytic that also resides on-board the camera (with an additional license like Axis Cross Line Detection). I have not field tested it but the promotional video looks pretty slick. I am biased towards the M15/16 due to the fact that you get a thermal and visible context camera in the same housing.

Hope this helps!!!

Not a problem at all, I've used Mobotix thermal on industrial perimeters with excellent results. False alarms in the context of thermal are far and few between especially if there isn't too much wildlife moving in the detection zones. With Activity Sensor 2.0 you can configure it in such a way where the camera takes into account depth perception and this can further mitigate false reads. Another great way to effectively eliminate false alarms is to only utilize motion detection on the thermal sensor and use the other lens purely for context rather than image analysis.

I generally just use an end-to-end Mobotix solution including their viewing software MxManagement Center. MxManagement Center can effectively handle alarms and notifications. I've got some experience with Milestone XProtect and know that they integrate with Mobotix quite throughly as it pertains to camera based motion detection and alarms as well as support of the native MxPeg codec Mobotix employs.

Don't forget about the radiometry feature as a potential up-sell, especially if you already have a foot in the door at an industrial facility.

Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

You could also add the RS-232 box for a variety of outputs to interface with whatever your alarm system can take.
