"The Secure Zone system is configured so there are 16 independent hardware zones, each up to 500 m, which can be activated or de-activated independently," he said. "The other advantage is that we can deliver superior value-for-money due to the easy installation process." Simple and intuitive to use, Secure Zone has the ability to interface and activate CCTV systems, lighting, gates, email, plus a broad range of external devices and systems. In the event of an intrusion at the naval facility, the area or zone in which an alarm
is triggered is instantly displayed at the security centre and the event is automatically logged into a secure database. Simultaneously, the alarm signal is sent in real time via contacts to the control system, which in turn activates the CCTV system, allowing security staff to quickly assess and react appropriately to the threat.

The system requires no electronics or power, and is easy and economical to install or expand. There is no field maintenance, and the fibre optic cable is unaffected by RFI, EMI, lightning or storms. Its fibre optic connections can be all mechanical, so no special fibre optic skills are required, making installation even easier for systems integrators.
