Reinforce your security where it starts – at the perimeter of your site. This application offers reliable detection and classification of humans and vehicles intruding on your property. It’s suitable for long-range detection and high-security locations when combined with thermal cameras.
Reliable and easy system
AXIS Perimeter Defender is a highly effective, edge-based intrusion system that uses a combination of motion- and AI-based detection at long distances to detect and classify humans and vehicles in restricted areas. Designed to work optimally with Axis thermal cameras, it’s suitable for long-range detection and high-security perimeter protection in any light and weather conditions. A free configuration management tool simplifies installation and device setup and allows you to easily scale your system as needed. Furthermore, AXIS Site Designer is a free design tool that lets you design your site on a map to find where and how your devices should be mounted – making it easy to plan for device installations.

Intrusion detection
This application can use different detection scenarios to trigger alarms and automated actions for proactive security. For example, it’s possible to automatically play a message from loudspeakers, turn on lights to help scare off intruders, or trigger real-time alerts to inform staff they need to take immediate action. Bounding boxes and trajectories help you visually verify detected objects and see where they originated in the scene. In addition, using the optional AXIS Perimeter Defender PTZ autotracking it’s possible to automatically zoom in and track intruders with a PTZ camera for greater details.

Cost-effective operations
This scalable, edge-based application processes and analyzes live video directly on the camera, eliminating the need for costly processing servers. It’s designed to work with most video management systems such as AXIS Camera Station, Milestone, and Genetec. Plugins are available for seamless integration with Milestone XProtect® and Genetec™ Security Center allowing these systems to connect directly with AXIS Perimeter Defender for event streaming, bookmarking events in a video stream, and retrieving metadata. Furthermore, it’s possible to only send and record video whenever there’s an alarm, making it easier to review and search through your video, while also reducing bandwidth and storage.
