ABSTRACT:
A detection system for detecting intruders moving in the vicinity of a defined path comprises a distributed antenna, for example an open transmission line, extending along the path, and an array of discrete antennas extending alongside the distributed antenna and within a predetermined distance therefrom. The discrete antennas and the distributed antenna define a plurality of detection zones. A radio frequency transmitter is connected to each of the discrete antennas, and a complementary receiver in a control unit at a remote location is connected to the distributed antenna. The control unit also controls the transmitters, and the array of antennas to exchange radio frequency energy between the distributed antenna and the discrete antennas and analyzes the energy received from the discrete antennas so as to detect perturbations caused by an intruder moving adjacent said path and adjacent a particular antenna. A plurality of cameras are associated with the plurality of discrete antennas, and coupled to the control means for transmission of video signals thereto. The control means selects for display a signal from a particular camera in dependence upon the detection of a perturbation from an adjacent discrete antenna.
