n-ground sensors offer a covert element to your security strategy, with low vulnerability to defeat and radio operation capabilities, detecting machine digging and other disturbances with accuracy. Our surface volumetric defence systems cover areas stretching as far as 200m per sensor, while our perimeter and barrier sensor systems provide the functionality to detect tampering and intrusion within a space of 3 to 10 meters, depending on the product.

With monorail-mounted surveillance robots, RoboGuard can double the surveillance potential of your perimeter by monitoring its integrity and by visiting breach sites to gather additional information.

IP surveillance is a digitized and networked version of closed-circuit television (CCTV). In an IP surveillance system, an IP camera records video footage and the resulting content is distributed over an IP (Internet protocol) network.

C3 can provide you with an analogue or IP surveillance system designed to suit your unique requirements.

Many factors have to be taken into consideration when designing a control room such as space, lighting, aesthetics, airflow, ergonomics and of course, functionality. What is visually impressive is not necessarily the most effective. The best-designed control rooms are often those where the most thought has gone into what needs to be accomplished in the control room.

This device offers resistance to rough environmental conditions, remaining accurate in its readings in a variety of external circumstances. Its design allows for stand-alone operations, providing precise information about fire size, location, and propagation on its own. It is also easy to install and to integrate into existing fire management systems.
The LIOS DE.TECT also adheres to today’s strict safety conventions and standards, providing high-proven product quality based on the fulfilment of criteria recognised by a variety of authoritative regulatory bodies. These include:
• VdS (Association of German Property Insurers)
• prEN 54-22 Class A1N
• ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
• TÜV Rheinland
• CE (Electromagnetic Compliance, Europe)
• UL 521, ULC S530 spacing up to 50ft
• ATEX certification

Combined with powerful monitoring and visualisation software, data can easily be presented and interpreted. With versatility in its customisation capabilities, this device can be set up for various unique ends, including monitoring activity in deluge zones, as well as in more secluded sections of a facility, for example.

Founded in 2001, PSIM software caters to the needs of city planning and civil engineering projects’ security, but also provides security support for railway and metro projects, airports, corporate enterprises, homeland defence, hospitals, maritime ports and harbours, border control, police, and oil and gas facilities the world over.
With six key capabilities, management of an entire enterprise can be tackled on one comprehensive user interface that can quickly and cost-effectively be customised to meet the exact requirements of every user for any company.
By ordering the massive influx of data received from various security channels like CCTV, for example, PSIM can arrive at accurate visualisations and reports with the aim to detect, visualise and resolve threats according to specific criteria established for your custom interface.
At C3, we are at the coalface of PSIM, connecting systems and other platforms in a cohesive, effective way to enhance security across a broad spectrum, and thereby increase productivity.

Security operators cannot effectively monitor multiple surveillance cameras and it's a well-known statistic that after just 22 minutes an operator misses 95% of scene activity. Intelligent video analytics are designed to automatically detect threats and distribute intelligent alerts to the right personnel in real time, thus allowing security personnel to effectively manage threats to the organization rather than focus on detecting them. C3 has numerous projects and case studies involving analytics, from the tunnels of the Gautrain rail to the perimeters of upmarket residential and golfing estates. We have deployed analytics successfully at classified National keypoint sites, power stations, precious metal refineries, and general facilities. The key to our success is due to the extensive training of our technical staff coupled with a superior product.

Let's take a look at a few of the advantages:

• • Visible image day and night in total darkness without the need for any ambient light
  
• • Visual penetration through rain / mist / fog far greater than CCD
  
• • Low maintenance - does not require cleaning of optics
  
• • Direct or reflective light shining into the camera lens does not affect picture image
  
• • Thermal cameras combined with video analytics can detect intruders at greater distances than CCD's and therefore far fewer cameras are needed. This is far more aesthetically pleasing especially in residential estates.
  
• • Power consumption is considerably less when compared to CCD cameras combined with IR illuminators.
  
• • Thermal cameras do not work off visible light but rather infrared light (heat / radiation) therefore the cameras can still detect intruders that are dressed in dark or camouflaged clothing.
  
• • Thermal cameras are considered leading-edge technology. Intruders in total darkness are not aware of the camera's capabilities and might believe they are moving through the field of view undetected.
  

C3 can offer a host award-winning fencing innovations to protect your perimeter and integrate effectively with your perimeter security system.

The versatile view angle allows the user to verify from multiple angles the suspicious threat before actually having to physically reach the subject. In the case of bomb squad technicians, being able to examine the object from a distance before having to physically deal with it could make the difference of life and death, as well as save the inconvenience of false alarms.

All data from the system can be recorded to the local DVR system for training and investigation uses. The data can be tied to a LPR system for better documentation.

The strategic application of external intruder detectors can provide significant cost savings in terms of manpower, loss recovery and damage limitation, quickly recovering the initial capital outlay.

However, it is more difficult than designing systems for the controlled environment found inside most premises as we need to have a system that not only suits the type of perimeter but also one that can perform equally well in all extremes of weather conditions.

Access control, CCTV, intelligent video, etc.. all form part of the PIDS as well as invisible buried detection systems, fence security using microphonic and fibre optic cable, microwave barriers and Doppler detectors, infrared systems using beams and barriers, taut wire and fibre optic detection systems. All these can significantly enhance the performance of any perimeter security. C3 can provide innovative and effective solutions to combat all forms of perimeter intrusion.

The advantages of the Visual Based Fire Detection (VBFD) over conventional methods are numerous.

• • NFPA 72 and FM approved.
  
• • Early warning - detects flame / smoke in seconds at the source.
  
• • Visual verification - supplies vital situational awareness through live video to the location of the fire.
  
• • Challenging areas - perfectly suited to detect fires in large open spaces which are a challenge for conventional methods.
  
• • Triggers fire alarm systems.
  
• • Provides pre-recorded video forensic evidence for future fire investigations.
  
• • Security surveillance - in addition to fire detection SigniFire can be used simultaneously for video surveillance.
  
• • Simple installation - can be installed lower than ceiling height and is non-disruptive to working hours.
  
• • C3's fire protection service includes detection and suppression with internationally approved products.
