GeMIP (GeViSoft)

For the new generation of perimeter monitoring systems from Southwest Microwave (SMI) (connection to the Southwest Microwave INTREPID II Polling Protocol (IPP II)) see Plugin G-SWM (IPP II Interface) (GeViScope).

GeMIP is an integration of the Southwest Intrepid MicroPoint sensor system into the GeViSoft video management system. This integration is based on the TPI v. 3.3.3 from Southwest Microwave Inc., which has been modified by Geutebrück.

The Southwest Intrepid MicroPoint sensor system is a sophisticated security system enclosure, which makes it possible to precisely locate alarms. It is based on the MicroPoint(tm) cable technology, which recognizes any disturbance on the fence and locates this disturbance with an accuracy of 1 to 3 m. With this exact locating and the special algorithms for digital signal processing (DSP), all attempts to cut through or climb over the fence are recognized, whereas a distributed noise from wind, rain or heavy vehicles will be ignored. This ensures reliable recognition.

The MicroPoint cable also transmits alarm signals and the operating voltage to all modules and additional sensors along the enclosure.

How Does the MicroPoint System Work?

The processor module sends a pulse over the MicroPoint cable. The pulse is reflected by the disturbance, making it possible to locate the break along the cable. The received signal is sampled to create a signature that describes the reflected pulse. Using digital signal processing (DSP), MicroPoint sensor can measure the location and form of the reflected pulse. The microprocessor recognizes the form of the response of a point attack (cutting or climbing) and distinguishes them from feedback from distributed signals, such as rain, wind and vehicle traffic.

The installation technician uses any PC to calibrate the MicroPoint cable sensor and assign zones. During calibration, the sensitivity of each cable meter is set, to provide a uniform sensitivity along the entire length of the MicroPoint cable. For fence installations, the sensitivity adjustment takes into account differences in the type and voltage of the fence material. Zones are defined by the user in the software. Freely definable zones make it possible to easily modify the number and location of the zones, so that variable site conditions can be taken into account. The Windows-based installation software guides the user through the installation and records details "as installed" for the purpose of subsequent maintenance and diagnostics.

The GeMIP interface consists of the following components:

Competent	Description
MicroPointTPI333.dll	Third Party Interface DLL modified by Geutebrück.
GeMIP.exe	GeMIP background service.
GeMIPEditor.exe	GeMIP setup editor.
GeMIPTester.exe	Optional system viewer.

For the use of the GeMIP interface, you need at least Version 112 of the GeViSoft software and a GeMIP license for GeViSoft.
