LASE PeCo Systemtechnik GmbH, a system integrator headquartered in Wesel, Germany, supplies high-quality laser sensors and laser-based system solutions for individual tasks. For a forensic clinic in Northwestern Germany, the company was commissioned to develop and produce a solution for a fully automatic camera control as part of a surveillance system used to monitor prisoners and objects. 
LASE PeCo Systemtechnik GmbH developed the LTS400 laser-tracking system based on laser measurement sensors from SICK and dome cameras. The system is used for horizontal protection of open spaces (optical lid) against unauthorized entry and exit. The building protection is employed both for indoor and outdoor areas.
Laser measurement sensor LD-OEM
The LD-OEM as well as LD-LRS laser measurement sensors from SICK actively scan the environment with laser beams in a fan-shaped pattern. If the beams encounter persons or objects located within the area monitored, the devices measure the distance and direction and detect the position accurately down to the centimeter. The LTS400 software provides for the alignment of the dome camera to the person or the object - thus making it possible to follow the person or object reliably. If the laser measurement sensor detects several area intrusions at the same time and signals them, one can verify and follow them intelligently by the PTZ dome camera using multiple object alternating.
Reliable and economical alarm generation
The system stands out due to the reliable alarm generation. The measured data are filtered and evaluated in terms of weather factors using the LTS software made by LASE PeCo. Thus, security personnel immediately have full view of the person or object, enabling them to react promptly. The recording of the camera image always occurs parallel to the inmate or object detected.
Laser measurement sensor from SICK at the forensic clinic, without and with housing
By reducing hardware costs, the LTS400 is less expensive as compared to other methods of open space protection. Furthermore, the measuring system supplies differentiated data and it is insensitive vis-à-vis weather factors. Apart from making available the laser measurement sensors, in this application SICK also provides for inconspicuous, active electronic detection and high-quality adaptation of design to the building architecture.
