Passive magnetic field detection

Passive magnetic field detection

This buried security system is based on the Magnetic Anomaly Detection principle of operation. The system uses an electromagnetic field generator powered by two wires running in parallel. Both wires run along the perimeter and are usually installed about 5 inches apart on top of a wall or about 12"/30cm below ground. The wires are connected to a signal processor which analyzes any change in the magnetic field.

This kind of buried security system sensor cable could be buried on the top of almost any kind of wall to provide a regular wall detection ability or be buried in the ground.

* pros: Very low false alarm rate, can be put on top of any wall, very high chance of detecting real burglars.
* cons: Cannot be installed near high voltage lines, radars, or airports.
