The FOTAS–Genetec RSA Integration delivers advanced perimeter intrusion detection by seamlessly connecting the FOTAS Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system with Genetec Security Center RSA. It enables operators to detect, visualize, and respond to real-time intrusion events—such as fence cutting or climbing—directly within RSA zones, enhancing situational awareness and response efficiency.
Main Features
- Real-time transmission of FOTAS intrusion alarms to Genetec RSA
- Automatic import and synchronization of FOTAS detection zones into RSA
- Precise localization of events along the perimeter with distance and zone context
- Support for multiple alarm types (e.g., cutting, climbing, intrusion)

Features & Benefits
FOTAS is a Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system that delivers real-time acoustic monitoring along standard fiber-optic cables.
By analyzing backscattered light, FOTAS transforms the entire fiber into thousands of virtual sensors, enabling precise event detection with deep learning AI and accurate localization over long distances.
Application-Specific Benefits
Pipelines
- Detects digging, excavation, heavy machinery, and ground disturbances
- Enables early warning before pipeline leakage or third-party interference occurs
Perimeters and Borders
- Identifies pedestrian movement and vehicle activity
- Provides continuous situational awareness across extended and remote perimeters
Fences
- Detects fence climbing, cutting, and lifting events
- Deep learning AI filters environmental noise (wind, rain, vegetation) to reduce false alarms
When an event is detected, security teams receive instant, location-based alarms, allowing fast, informed, and effective intervention.
Solution Architecture
Architecture is straight-forward. After connection established. Genetec can pull zones and upon alarm, Fotas will be sending them to the Genetec automatically.
