decreases dramatically", states
Norbert Jarosch, Technical Direc-
tor at ABN. "The PIRs unique
remote diagnosis and remote
configuration features allow us to
analyse the detection characteris-
tics right away using the time-
synchronous video transmission
and optimise the parametrization.
That's why we can guarantee our
customers a high system avail-
ability and operational reliability."
He explains ABNs market ap-
proach offering pro-active security
services: "The combination of
intelligent perimeter protection,
HeiTel by Xtralis VideoGateways
and the video-based services of the
CMS ensures a distinct additional
value for our customers: Early
detection of intrusion effectively
prevents damage or crime before
it's done. The combination of in-
frared motion detection and video
based alarm verification by the
CMS also fulfils the (in Germany
obligatory) requirements for alarm
verification. The intervention
forces will then snap to it right
away. Surveilling a recycling yard
with ADPRO PIRs, we had 4 ar-
rests within a short time a succes
that speaks for itself."
The Rurtalwerkstaetten man-
agement can be sure that their
investment in the ingenious perim-
eter protection system will repay
itself very quickly. The considerable
damage caused by break-in and
theft will be prevented in the future
through early and reliable detec-
tion, video remote verification and
a rapid intervention. n
VideoGateways link the HeiTel
Video-Based Motion Detection
(VMD) with ADPRO Infrared
Motion Detection (IMD) with the
result that almost no false alarms
are forwarded to the NSL. Un-
necessary and expensive physical
deployments are prevented while
very rapid alarm verification by
means of video link is still possible
at any time. Following a prior call
and entry of an agreed password,
including after the security system
has been activated, the NSL can
allow access to the premises re-
motely and thereby monitor who
is entering or leaving the site.
Plant Manager Amling sum-
marises the project as follows: "We
are very pleased with the design
and installation of the system
by ABN and are confident that
our new, clearly marked surveil-
lance system will mean no further
break-ins. ABN was an obvious
choice as installer because we
have been using their services for
many years now, including guard
and patrol services, and over time
a real relationship of trust has
developed between us."
Four arrests
within a short time
"We apply the ADPRO PIR series
with great success and appreciate
not only the phenomenal low false
alarm rate, but the exceptional
detection reliability and easy and
time-saving setting-up of these
outdoor motion detectors. When
the ADPRO PIRs are installed
correctly the false alarm rate
a functional element. The result
is complete perimeter protection
which minimises the probability
of false alarms through intelligent
linking of video and infrared
sensors.
Cameras and
a motion detector
Until now, only two entrance gates
were monitored using standard
analogue cameras. Four more
high-quality analogue cameras
have now been combined with an
ADPRO by Xtralis Passive-Infra-
red Detector (PIR). With a range
of up to 150 metres, the detectors
cover the sensitive areas along
the outer perimeter, the at-risk
storage facilities and the natural
gas fuelling station. Cameras and
motion detectors transmit their
signals to a HeiTel by Xtralis
VideoGateway "CamDisc VG
SVR". The VideoGateway does
not just record video sequences
at predefined times (agreed with
the Works Council) it also im-
mediately reports alarms to the
emergency control centre and
service point (NSL) operated by
ABN. The important thing is that
the alarm messages are clear and
that false alarms can be ruled out.
To make this possible, the HeiTel
As one of the region's largest
employers, Rurtalwerkstätten pro-
vides employment to around 1000
staff across no fewer than six sites.
The Niederzier site covers an area
of approximately 9000 m
2
and
contains workshops, storage rooms
and areas for metal and sheet
metal processing, woodworking,
packaging and assembly, mechan-
ics, gardening and landscaping,
a kitchen and work areas with
special supervisory requirements.
Whilst the premises are secured on
one side by the main building, a
very busy highway and an almost
impenetrable hedge, entrance
gates and fences along side roads
make it easy for potential thieves
to see into and enter the site.
Thieves are particularly attracted
to the metals warehouse and the
storage area for noble gas bottles
which contain valuable materials.
Complete
perimeter protection
Fences have been cut open and
not only has stainless steel been
taken from the metals warehouse
but on one occasion even three
small vans were stolen. Plant
manager Klaus Amling turned to
ABN Alarmanlagen-Bewachung-
Notrufservice in Aachen for help.
After analysing the situation in
Niederzier, ABN developed a
customised security concept that
takes into account local conditions
and the existing infrastructure
and which is based mainly on the
professional video technology,
motion detection and video-based
alarm services of the emergency
control centre and service point
(NSL) which is incorporated as

safeguards Rurtalwerkstaetten in Germany
Break-in, theft and vandalism are problems that
every factory premise has to contend with, including
Rurtalwerkstätten in düren, North Rhine-westphalia.
The fact that its particular focus is on the integration
of disabled persons into working life is unfortunate-
ly no deterrent to thieves. The company's Niederzier
site has suffered repeated break-ins and items have
been stolen from its metal and glass bottle stor-
age facility. Now however, thanks to an ingenious
security concept and a combination of video, motion
detection and sensor systems, Rurtalwerkstätten is
fighting back.
Until now, only two entrance gates were monitored using standard analogue cameras.
Four more high-quality analogue cameras have now been combined with an ADPRO
by Xtralis Passive-Infrared Detector (PIR).
