Electronic Control Security Inc. designs, manufactures, and supplies entry control and perimeter intrusion detection systems. The company serves the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, nuclear power stations, and various international customers.
The company offers the U.S. Air Force certified technology and a services portfolio that includes site survey/risk assessment, design and engineering, systems manufacturing and integration, factory acceptance testing, installation supervision, commissioning, operations and maintenance training. It works with architects, engineers, systems integrators, construction managers, and owners in the development and design of security monitoring and control systems.
Integration Support Services
The company has worked with system integrators on various high-threat projects, including the World Trade Center in New York City; Rocky Flats; Golden, Colorado; Pantex, Amarillo, Texas; and naval facilities in Washingon, D.C. and Maryland, as well as UNECA’s facility in Addis Ababa, Ethopia. Each of these projects utilized different hardware and software platforms for the Central Alarm Station and Secondary Alarm Station, including Livermore Argus System at the Pantex Facility.
Consulting Support Services
The company provides consulting support services to its dealers/installers and system integrators. It assists its customers in conducting risk assessment and vulnerability/criticality studies to ascertain their security requirements and develop a risk management and mitigation program; and provides security system design support services.
Products, Systems, and Technologies
The company’s integrated security solutions include one or various subsystems and components that perform various security functions for a facility with a single command and control center, and in certain cases, a back up command & control center that incorporates majority of its systems integrated with legacy and government or owner furnished technologies.
Product Focus
Automated Entry Control System (AECS): AECS is an automated vehicle/personnel gate system consisting of radio frequency identification (RFID) to read vehicle tags, license plate cameras (front and rear), personnel card readers (proximity and barcode) and keypad, intercom and camera, anti-tailgating sensors, and electric gates. It is an integrated system interfaced with facility’s databases for the identification of vehicles/personnel for reasonable traffic flow.
Infrared Perimeter Intrusion Detection (IPID): IPID is an U.S. Air Force certified standard with Department of Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission power stations. The system offers an undefeatable barrier of pulsed infrared beams to create multiple intrusion detection zones, each with a range of approximately 330 feet. Modular design could be stacked to form an invisible wall that cannot be penetrated without detection.
Fiber Optic Intelligence Detection System (FOIDS): FOIDS is standard with Department of Energy and various international oil and gas companies. FOIDS uses single mode fiber optic cable and highly sensitive interferometry technology for intrusion detection along fences and walls up to a zone length of 3.5 miles. The system detects climbing, cutting, and pulling along the fence/wall line.
PTZ Cameras: The view of PTZ cameras could be adjusted various ways, such as human manipulation, motion detection, door contact signals, or automatically to a preset pattern. The use of PTZ cameras to automatically track an intruder based on an alarm from another technology provides the solution.
Day/Night and Thermal Imaging Cameras: It is a high resolution sensor for clear, sharp imagery and for uniformity of picture (no white or dark borders found in other cameras). It range approximately 21 kilometers (13 miles). It is built-in video ‘trip-wire’ intelligent motion detection. It has service support, including maintenance and repair.
ECSI Long Range Day/Night CCTV: The company’s long range day/night camera offers imaging systems for any security application where lighting is impractical or where long-range performance is required. For border security, port security, and critical infrastructure applications, the system has proven vital to threat detection initiatives.
Vehicle Gate Automation: The company’s smart gate consists of RFID equipment to read vehicle tags, personnel card readers (proximity cards, bar-coded information on identification cards and the access control card, biometric validation, etc.), visual and acoustic devices supplying the human-machine interface to alert the security force team to identification and threat assessment results, a computer-based access control system interfacing with the facility databases.
ECSI Long Range Radar: Intruders entering oil fields, refineries, bases, or crossing borders could be detected and monitored remotely using a radar design. The radar systems, named ‘Area Intrusion Monitoring System’ operate with low power and light weight solid state components.
Water Infrastructure Sensing Equipment (WISE): WISE is an online bio/chemical detection and reporting system. It monitors water flow for chemical and biological contaminants, and reports out-of-parameter conditions (through email or SCADA) to various recipients. It draws sample of contaminated water for further analysis and offers capability of bypassing of shutting down flow of contaminated water.
Interoperable Device Management System (IDMS)
IDMS is an interoperability platform for total system management capability. IDMS delivers integration of security systems (transparent to the end user); single view of events and incidents (through customized role-specific graphical user interfaces and dashboards); process-driven event management (through graphical workflow tools, response plans and customized alarm stack design); and analysis, status and management information (built-in report designers to provide reports and statistics on compliance to security policies). This technology permits the command control communication and computer center to operate as the custodial and security nerve center where officers in the center have the ability to perform the IDMS monitoring and control process on one new network process.
Emergency Response Stations
The Emergency Response Stations provide the response to security incursions. The surveillance system is monitored by sensor technology supplemented by CCTV cameras. The ERS is networked to the surveillance system and other sensor nodes through a redundant fiber optic network. The optical cameras provide assessment of any target in the operational sector.
Markets
Primary markets that the company targets include the U.S. government, its agencies and departments, including the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy; industrial facilities, including pharmaceutical companies and major office complexes; energy facilities, including nuclear power stations, utilities, and chemical-petrochemical pipelines; and foreign/export opportunities in all of the above-noted target markets.
Customers
The company provides products and services to certain customers who maintain their own integration engineering and installation departments. It provides products to approximately 50 nuclear power stations, Department of Energy and other government agencies covering approximately 220 projects. Its products and services are designed for medium to large commercial, industrial and government facilities, such as military installations, office buildings, nuclear power stations and other energy facilities, airports, correctional institutions and high technology companies desiring to protect assets and/or prevent intrusion into security facilities.
Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights
The company obtained trademarks in the United States, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia for FOIDS; IPID; RDIDS (Rapid Deployment Intrusion Detection System); IDMS (Intrusion Detection & Monitoring System); LanDataSecure (LAN and WAN Security Monitoring); WISE; Vacusonic (a water purification process); and Gamma Shark (a water radiation detection system). It also has filed for trademarks in other countries.
Research and Development
During the year ended June 30, 2013, the company expended $82,065 on research and development activities.
