2.2.5 Editing Zones
The PSR Radar System supports two (2) types of zones: Contact and Intrusion Zones.
2.2.5.1 Contact Zones
A Contact Zone is an area where low-level radar detections are processed to identify potential targets.
An exclusive contact zone is a zone in which processing of low-level radar detections is inhibited. The
radar uses the contact zones to establish the detection thresholds. FLIR Radars recommends the use of
the default configuration (no contact zone defined). In this case the entire radar coverage area will be
used.
If a particular area is generating false or unwanted targets, such as a highway with automobile traffic,
a wind turbine, etc., it may be desirable to establish one (1) or more contact zones that include all
areas to be monitered except the problematic ones. Alternatively, you can establish only exclusive
contact zones covering the problematic areas.
2.2.5.2 Intrusion Zones
An Intrusion Zone is an area where the targets are considered potential threats and classified as
intruders. An exclusive intrusion zone is an area in which classification of targets as intruders is
prevented. Since intruders trigger alerts (red circle in radar icon – see above) and are sent out through
XML, it is important to carefully define intrusion zones to minimize nuisance alarms. In order to provide
prompt detection of intruders, it is very important that all intrusion zones be completely contained in
contact zones with a sufficient gap (typically > 100 m).
To prevent a particular area from generating false or unwanted intruders, such as a private road within
the surveillance area, a main entrance in a building, etc. either:
1. Establish intrusion zone so as not to include that area, or
2. Establish an exclusive intrusion zone on that area.
