Camera vs. LiDAR: Zone Monitoring

Securing expensive equipment is a particularly difficult and costly matter. This includes, for example, a turbine worth millions of euros on an offshore drilling platform or a high-priced sports car in the car park of a showroom.

In this case, security begins with the preventive detection and averting of threats in order to minimise the risk of damage to property.

LiDAR sensors prove particularly useful here, as they enable object detection and monitoring of an object in a specific area with high accuracy and in real time. Due to their robust construction, the sensors also function perfectly at night and in extreme weather conditions, minimizing false alarms.
 

How it works:

A security area can be set up around the object, in our case some cars in a car park. This acts as a ‘no-go zone’. If objects are detected within this defined area, an alarm is triggered in the security system.

An additional protective device can also be installed as a first deterrent to intruders. These include cameras, floodlights and alarms.

Furthermore LiDAR also offers considerable advantages from a data protection perspective: LiDAR sensors do not collect any personal data. The 3D data collects anonymised information that doesn't allow individuals to be identified.
