Solutions For Substations

“The scenario [a physical attack on substations] has an overall major risk profile with a major risk for cross-border impact.”

When we talk about a network solution, we’re describing a system made up of interconnected IP-based components, which can include cameras, speakers, and other devices.

Secure sites
Optimize operations
Protect people

What is a network solution?

Because IP-based devices are connected in a network, they can communicate with each other. That means data can be shared among them, and that rules can be set so that certain events trigger reactions. If we return to the vehicle access example: a camera with analytics to read license plates “recognizes” a vehicle and triggers another device – the access control system – to open the gate.

Access Control

"Rather than replacing humans altogether, computer vision empowers operators to identify trends, abnormalities and anomalies, allowing then to take appropriate action in preventing injury and death"

Solutions for intrusion protection

If a threat actor can physically access a substation, there is virtually no limit to potential damage: malware can be directly introduced to computers and devices, protective relays manipulated, and equipment physically destroyed.”

Improve situation awareness
Verify and access threats - and act
Reduce false alarms and physical patrols
Control access to a site or multiple sites
Support training and forensic processes

Perimeter protection – buffer zone

Detect and deter before potential intruder gets too close

Detection of presence

A radar pointing outwards detects people and vehicles outside the perimeter.

Alarm is triggered

An alarm event is triggered and sent to an operator, while other devices such as a PTZ camera tracks the object.

Deter unwanted activity

Manually or automatically trigger pre-recorded or live audio messages or siren, with or without light signals.

Physical intervention

Operator initiates physical intervention.

Perimeter protection – fence line

Detect and deter activity on perimeter

Detection of presence

A thermal camera detects people and vehicles close to the perimeter using an application such as Axis Perimeter Defender.

Protecting critical assets

Target surveillance where you need it most

Monitor critical asset

A camera with an analytics application is pointed towards a critical asset with a pre-determined detection zone.

Detect and alert

Someone approaching the critical asset will be detected, and an alert is sent to the operator.

Deter unwanted activity

A prerecorded audio message or siren is automatically triggered (with or without light signals) and/or the operator sends a live audio messages.

Access control – people

Secure sites, buildings and offices from unwanted visitors

Card or code for entry

Staff or visitors use cards, keycodes or QR codes to enter site or buildings.

Check if user is registered

System checks the database to see if the user is registered and permitted in the specific location.

Access is granted or denied

Depending on privileges access is either permitted or denied.

Detect vehicle and read license plate

Car approaches gate and camera with embedded analytics reads license plate.

Analyze license plate data

Plate is analyzed and result is compared to an allow list.

Automatic and manual access

If the visitor is known the gate opens automatically for them.

In the event the visitor is unknown the site administrator is provided the information needed to either deny or allow access.

PPE detection

Ensure safety compliance with PPE detection

Detect and alert

Camera captures and processes images, using analytics to search for PPE compliance. Non-compliance triggers an alert.

Automated response

Pre-recorded message is triggered.

Physical intervention

Operator initiates physical intervention for adherence.

Manual response

Operator evaluates the information and initiates appropriate response.

Audio alerts

Operator triggers pre-recorded or live audio message.
