"Xtralis ADPRO Presidium v2.00.03B0003: "i-Lids" approved Primary Detection System for operational use in sterile zone monitoring applications."

This approval means that government and other mission-critical security users can confidently implement Presidium for an array of sterile zone monitoring applications, assured that the solution provides the highest level of accuracy in diverse real world environments. Xtralis has successfully deployed thousand of channels of ADPRO Presidium in a multitude of high profile facilities around the world including government embassies, high security military and law enforcement installations, and key utility sites including water, power and telecommunications plants.

The HOSDB Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems (i-LIDS®) Project evaluates products for use in Government installations, and awarded the ADPRO Presidium system this prestigious classification as a result of its recent comprehensive Sterile Zone Monitoring Evaluations.

Said Xtralis President and CEO Samir Samhouri, "Xtralis is dedicated to delivering intelligent and reliable intrusion detection systems for the most demanding government and commercial customers. As a market leader in the perimeter detection space, we seek every opportunity for independent certification of the power of our solutions and their value in mission-critical environments. After a rigorous and lengthy testing process, we are very proud that Presidium has been singled out as one of only a very few systems that has this prestigious Primary status." Continues Samhouri, "The UK government is committed to promoting the development of powerful security systems and HOSDB is the recognised authority in this area, with i-LIDS as its benchmark. Our ADPRO Presidium underwent some of the most challenging testing that it has ever been subjected to, and it is extremely gratifying that it performed so well."

The Xtralis ADPRO Presidium is an easy to install Intelligent Intrusion Detection System designed to deliver maximum detection performance and minimum false alarm probability in the most demanding outdoor perimeter and area protection applications. The ADPRO Presidium features automatic scene learning and intelligent algorithms to dramatically reduce false alarm rates caused by small animals, trees, car headlights and adverse weather conditions. Presidium’s reliability and performance is complemented by its ease of installation and commissioning, with an intuitive graphical user interface and intelligent pre-configured settings that enable quick on site or remote set-up.

"There are a variety of perimeter detection options on the market today, and installers and endusers should standardize on solutions that are certified by respected testing authorities," adds Nick Carter, senior vice president and general manager for Xtralis EMEA.
