Combining the laser sensor with IP cameras

3.5. Combining the SiteWatch™ laser sensor with surveillance cameras

The SiteWatch™ laser sensor is designed to detect objects and alarm to a VMS software such as DW Spectrum®

IPVMS, or directly to an IP camera. With a dedicated detector, fewer cameras can be used since they can be

programmed to the exact location of an intrusion. The number of cameras required depends on camera type. Pan-

tilt-zoom (PTZ) and multi-sensor cameras are recommended to use in combination with the SiteWatch™ laser sensor,

but ﬁxed and vari-focal cameras can also be used. We recommend using ﬁxed and vari-focal cameras for high-interest

locations, such as gates and entrances, and PTZ cameras for the rest of the area.
