What Detekion Security Systems does

DeTekion Security Systems, Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer specializing in Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS), founded in 1992 and headquartered in Vestal, New York, with a regional office in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The company designs, manufactures, installs, and commissions a diversified portfolio of outdoor security products built on multiple sensor technologies, including a patented magnetic microphonic sensor cable (Defensor 100 with Spirawire and Lubritube processes), taut wire mechanical detection (VTW-400), electrified fencing with Balanced Current System alarm location (Electro-Guard 5000 and 5000-A), a fiber optic grid for specialized and submerged applications (FiberGuard SF Aquamesh), and RF-based coaxial-cable detection (Wave-Guard, manufactured by affiliate AuraTek Security LLC). The OMNI and CentrAlert platforms serve as centralized Windows-based monitoring and control software with TCP/IP networking and optional CCTV integration.

The company sells complete turn-key solutions directly to U.S. federal agencies — including the Department of Corrections, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and military installations — as well as to industrial clients worldwide. Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware sales of manufactured PIDS components and professional services covering system design, installation, and commissioning. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by trade show participation (ISC West). The company has no disclosed funding history, no acquisitions, no public-market listing, and remains privately held as an independent New York corporation.

Products and services

• VTW-400 Electronic Taut Wire Fence A perimeter detection system utilizing barbed wires strung taut between anchor posts with sensor posts that detect climbing, spreading, and cutting attempts. Can be mounted standalone, on existing fences, walls, or roofs with sectors extending up to 100 meters.
• Sensor Coil 600 Integrates Defensor 100 cable into a stainless steel barbed tape security coil, creating a combined sensor/barrier assembly with rigid double coil austenitic stainless steel construction in 30" or 40" diameters.
• Sensor Coil & Defensor Hybrid (HPIDS) Combines Defensor sensor cable on fence fabric with Sensor Coil at top of fence, providing detection capability across the entire fence plus a formidable physical barrier.
• Defensor 100 Sensor Cable Next-generation patented magnetic sensor cable using Spirawire and Lubritube technologies for perimeter security. Provides linear detection along entire length with approximately 1.5m detection range on either side.
• Electro-Guard 5000 Lethal/Non-Lethal electrified fence system with dual electrifiers operating adjacent conductor wires from different sources. Features Balanced Current System (BCS) for locating alarms to within 50 meters and instant or programmable mode switching.
• Electro-Guard 5000-A Non-lethal electrified fence operating in stun or surveillance mode with alarm conditions triggered by wire touch (short to ground), wire cut, or adjacent wire contact. Includes dry contact relays for sensor system integration.
• FiberGuard SF Aquamesh Grid Fiber optic sensor cable embedded and woven inside a rigid polyurethane grid, designed for deterrence, detection, and delay in specialized submerged applications. Triggers alarm when fiber optic cable is cut.
• Wave-Guard RF Perimeter protection system using coaxial cable that emits multiple radio-frequency signals around protected areas. Receiver monitors signals and triggers alarm within one-meter range of disturbances, utilizing digital signal-processing algorithm for environmental compensation.
• OMNI Controller Windows-based security software for monitoring perimeter intrusion detection sensors and systems. Supports single or multiple site control via LANs and TCP/IP protocol with password protection, touch screen/keyboard control, and optional CCTV integration.
• CentrAlert Controller Centralized security processing control with open architecture design. Houses dual zone analyzer cards processing signals from Defensor and Sensor Coil sensor cables, with GUI for parameter and contact input settings.
