IR BEAM DETECTION – “how it works”
ADJUSTABLEHEIGHTS
SINGLE BEAM ARRAY
IR BEAMS NOT VISIBLE TO THE EYE
HIGH/LOW DETECTION ZONES
DOUBLE BEAM ARRAY
QUAD MULTI IR BEAM ARRAY
• Think of this as a beam fence• Multiple pulsed beam array extends between towers• All beams in the array must break simultaneously• Requires a physical action to trigger an alarm• Low false alarm rate • Proven technology• Low installation costs • Patented technology (US 8, 193, 936, B2)
Electrical Laydown YardProblem: Theft occurring in remote areas where hi-value equipment is stagedand stored
Solution: Install a low-cost and easily deployable 19 tower perimeter system
Customer Benefit: Immediate ROI due to theft savings, system may be redeployed as the threat dictates or site changes
Key Result: Unique approach without competition, customer cost savings, value in product not infrastructure
Client Benefit: available thru local dealers, unique client opportunity
Typical Substation SolutionProblem: 1)Theft occurring in substations resulting in power loss and life-safety hazards 2) NERC CIP compliance
Solution: Install a low-cost and easily deployable 4 tower perimeter system
Customer Benefit: Immediate NERC CIP perimeter compliance, 10+ year system, instant intruder notification
Key Result: Cost-effective solution for customer, reliable and low-risk for decision makers
Client Benefit: available thru local dealers, unique client opportunity
THIS IS A 14+ YEAR OLD SITE STILL FULLY FUNCTIONING FOR THE CITY OF HOMESTEAD. NOTE THE LIGHTNINGPROTECTION ON THE SITE, WHICH IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM FOR METAL FABRICATED TECHNOLOGY.
SUBSTATION INSTALLATION
POWERPLANTS AND LARGE INDUSTRIAL SITES HAVE IRREGULAR BORDERS AND ARE FILLED WITH OBSTRUCTIONS,VALIDATING THE NEED FOR STRONG PERIMETER PROTECTION AND CAMERA OVERVIEW VERIFICATION.

• 5 years on batteries (years 1 & 2 at 100%)
• 3 years on internal electronics
• Service agreements available to include PM
• Best warranty in the industry
Common Questions
• What about substation interference – is this off the grid?• What is the false-alarm rate? • What about lightning?• How much solar charging is required?• Are there problems in northern climates?• How is this system different than other beam systems?• Can this system replace camera systems?• What do your patents cover?

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A HURRICANEPHOTOS TAKEN AFTER HURRICANE FRANCES : ZERO DAMAGE
Patent SummaryUnited States Patent US 8,193,936 B2 was awarded to
Solarbeam, a Trademarked protected company, on June 5 2012.This patent provides for protection of the unique application ofsolar powered towers and solar powered security systems used todetect intruders.
The patent protects the embodiment of solar powered towers orsystems that wirelessly transmit their signals and utilized IR orphoto beams, microwave signals, laser, radars, acoustic sensors,ultrasound, sonar and cameras that include processing units todetect intruders.
This specifically addresses solar powered systems using cameraswith self-contained analytics used for intruder detection.
Summary
• Detect with Solarbeam, verify with cameras
• Simple, cost-effective technology easy to field
• Patented, TSA Safe Skies and DOE Reviewed
• Durable & long lasting (10 / 5 / 3 year warranty)
• Lifetime lightning warranty
• Lower recurring maintenance and longer service life than any other system fielded
• Proven low-risk - already in substations and critical infrastructure sites 14+ years
