Overview

What it is.

A sensor that detects when a location is being observed through directed optical instruments such as cameras or laser rangefinders.

System role

Where it fits.

It answers a question the other sensors cannot: not what is out there, but whether something out there is looking back.

Configuration

Configure system.

Configuration is about range and field of view — how large an area is being checked for directed optics, and how often.

Context

In this context: Detecting unauthorized surveillance of sensitive facilities, event security.

Configurable

  • Range
  • Field of view
  • Check interval

Deployment

  • Fixed
  • Infrastructure

Scope

What it is not.

It detects observation; it does not blind, dazzle or disable anything. There is no emitter intended to affect what it finds.
