Hydra sensors use dual-detection technology that sense both short-range, passive infrared (PIR) signatures searching for body heat from an approaching person, and an accelerometer detecting any vibration from physical activity actually on the fence. Requiring the detection of both events for an alarm allows Hydra to filter out false alarms.
Hydra is designed to account for stray objects hitting the fence or any extreme temperature variation.
When a Hydra sensor detects a true disturbance on the fence it immediately uses the wireless mesh network to communicate the alarm to the Hydra Gateway Board.
The Hydra Gateway Board then triggers the Hydra Relay Module to alert the customer via their preferred notification technology.
Examples of notification technology include, but are not limited to: Existing alarm panel, SCADA system, cell notification or software GUI.
