Magal S3 is well recognized as a leader in this market segment and offers a unique variety of technologies and products. The portfolio of products allows Magal S3 to tailor a suitable solution for any application, market, customer, threat, terrain or existing infrastructure.
Based on 35 years of experience, experiments and trials, Magal S3 has demonstrated its ability to detect any intrusion or attempt to defeat the system. All products deliver an exceptional high Probability of detection (Pd) while maintaining negligible False Alarm and Nuisance Rates (FAR/NAR). The products have an unrivaled history of robustness in all climate and harsh weather conditions with practically no environmental limitations. Additionally, the products require almost no maintenance and thus provide affordable life cycle costs.
Perimeter detection typically consists of a few detection zones providing information that is collected and aggregated into a control system that monitors the entire perimeter. Sophisticated algorithms balance and adapt sensitivity and compensate for environmental changes (temperature, rain, hail, minor ground shifts, etc.).
Physical Barriers
Physical barriers can be used for almost any market segment to protect sensitive areas. Magal S3 offers four physical barriers:
- DTR - a taut wire fence with extremely high Pd and low FAR with inherent vertical resolution (i.e. capability to distinguish between disturbances made in the lower sections vs the higher sections of the fence).

- YAEL is another taut wire solution - a cost-effective dense fence with many wires.

- InnoFence is an alarm-based decorative fence with concealed fiber-optic sensor assembly.

- MagBar is a robust detection grid designed to protect water passages and is optimized to sustain water flow and operate in harsh environmental conditions.

Fence Mounted Detectors
Fence mounted detectors are typically deployed over existing regular metal fences and walls. Magal S3 offers the broadest variety of sensor technologies varying in sensitivity and price. All of them provide high sensitivity for intruders including determining attempts to climb or cut the structure.
- Barricade is a reliable and cost effective system, based on a vibration sensor, deployed for many years along many hundreds of kilometers worldwide.

- Barricade II is a new generation of a fence-mounted vibration system, capable of locating an intrusion to within 2 - 3 meters (6.5 - 10 ft.).

Other detection sensors based on fiber optics and microphonic technology are available.
Volumetric Sensors are based on electromagnetic or electrostatic fields whereby disturbance of these fields by an intruder causes an alarm.
Magal S3 offers the leading covert (buried cable) perimeter intrusion detection sensor in the market.
The latest generation of this sub-terrain coaxial cable, like buried radar, provides detection location of a target within a few meters, through its ranging capability.
Also available is a terrain-following, volumetric electrostatic field sensor typically mounted on free standing poles, walls, etc.
Surveillance radar
Magal S3 offers a high resolution mid-range family of radar sensors, specially built for outdoor perimeter protection.

Virtual Fences and Gates use a transmitter - receiver concept. Once the gap between the two ends is disturbed by an intruder, an alarm is generated. Magal S3 offers a range of products in this family which include: infrared illuminator/receiver - IR Post and a family of microwave sensors.
