FORTIFEYE™ Technical Guide

The days of passive, “record-and-review” security are over. Commercial properties demand perimeter systems that prevent crime, not just document it after the fact. As criminal enterprises grow more sophisticated and organized theft increases, businesses are shifting toward smart, connected perimeters that combine physical deterrence with real-time video verification. 

FORTIFEYE is the world’s first fully integrated solution combining electric fencing, video surveillance, and video monitoring into a multi-layered defense system. This technical guide breaks down how this groundbreaking system works.

FORTIFEYE System Architecture and Component Integration

FORTIFEYE is the nation‘s first fully integrated perimeter security solution built on three layers of defense. Rather than relying on a single technology, FORTIFEYE is a unified solution that deters criminals from breaking into your premises with the following layers:

• Layer 1: The physical layer features The Electric Guard Dog™ Fence. It is installed inside your existing perimeter fencing, creating an imposing barrier reinforced by visible warning signs.
• Layer 2: The second layer is sensory. If an intruder attempts to tamper with the fence, it sends a 7,000-volt, medically safe shock to deter them. The alarm-based lighting systems activate, flooding the area with ultra-bright LED lights and triggering a loud alarm.
• Layer 3: High-resolution video cameras capture the event in real time. Remote monitoring enables threat verification, which is necessary in areas where police dispatch requires visual verification before responding to alarms.

Camera Technology Selection: Fixed, PTZ, and Specialty Applications

AMAROK offers a range of camera options within the FORTIFEYE ecosystem:

• 2 MP Fixed cameras: We offer two 2MP fixed camera options. One 2MP features motion analytic visibility and a 3mm fixed lens. Our second 2MP features limited analytics and a 2.8mm fixed lens. Both options have 300-foot infrared visibility with illuminators.
• 5 MP Fixed cameras: The 5MP has full analytics, a 3.7mm fixed lens, and 300-foot infrared visibility with illuminators. It also features integrated handoff to pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ).
• Fisheye cameras: The 6MP fisheye cameras feature a 1.6mm fixed lens and 300-foot infrared visibility with illuminators. The 12MP fisheye cameras feature enhanced resolution and digital pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ). Both 6MP and 12MP options have 360-degree views, de-warping capability, and full analytics for comprehensive area coverage.
• PTZ cameras: We offer 12x and 55x zoom cameras with variable lenses ranging from 5.2mm to 261.4mm, plus infrared visibility up to 1,640 feet.
• Thermal cameras: These options feature a 35mm fixed lens and human recognition up to 1,000 feet for large, unlit perimeters. 

Fixed cameras have tampering and motion detection. Both PTZ and fixed cameras feature day and night visibility, a memory slot, plus IP66-rated enclosures to protect against dust or water penetration. Whether your site requires a thermal camera for a dark yard or a fisheye for a tight loading dock, AMAROK security specialists help you select the best combination after we conduct a free threat assessment.

Video Analytics: Motion Detection, Object Recognition, and AI Applications

The camera hardware is only part of the equation. What separates FORTIFEYE from traditional security setups is the intelligence behind the lens. Commercial security video analytics built into the 5MP and higher models go beyond motion detection.

Full analytics enable the system to distinguish between irrelevant movement and genuine threats. When a potential intruder is detected, the integrated handoff feature allows a fixed camera to automatically cue a nearby PTZ camera, which then zooms in on the target for positive identification. This seamless coordination between cameras ensures every security event is captured with the detail needed for visual verification and evidence collection.

Many police departments require visual verification before dispatching officers. The analytics-driven verification process of FORTIFEYE satisfies these dual-verification requirements, so your alarm gets a priority response.

Storage and Bandwidth Management: Optimization Strategies

Every FORTIFEYE installation includes a local network video recorder (NVR) or server for processing, recording, and streaming footage. This hybrid approach to data management balances local reliability with cloud-based flexibility.

Footage is processed and stored on the NVR on-site, ensuring that critical evidence is always preserved regardless of internet connectivity. Cloud-based software provides centralized access to camera streams and recorded footage from multiple sites through a standard internet browser. Livestreams and recorded footage are accessible remotely, giving you and your security team real-time visibility into every corner of your perimeter.

AMAROK also provides video management software, making it simple to review, save, and share footage with law enforcement when needed.

Remote Monitoring Capabilities: Mobile and Desktop Interfaces

FORTIFEYE offers a dual-monitoring approach that puts control in your hands while providing professional backup. The system delivers a seamless experience across devices:

• The mobile app allows you to view live feeds and recorded events on the go from any location.
• Desktop interface offers a configurable, rich media plane that displays multiple sites, cameras, and views simultaneously.
• Cloud-based software provides centralized access to all camera streams and recorded footage across every protected location.

You can monitor your site directly or let AMAROK’s monitoring team handle it while keeping you informed. If an alarm is triggered, live video feeds activate automatically, and footage begins recording. Law enforcement is called only when alarms are visually verified, which eliminates unnecessary false alarm fines and ensures a faster response.

Integration With The Electric Guard Dog Fence: Synchronized Response

The true power of FORTIFEYE lies in how every component works together in a synchronized response sequence.

If an intruder touches the electric fence, it delivers a medically safe but memorable pulsed shock to deter them. Simultaneously, alarm-based lighting illuminates the area with bright lights. Perimeter zoning technology instantly identifies the specific location of the attempted breach.

The moment the alarm triggers, nearby cameras activate and begin recording. A PTZ camera zooms to the breach zone for close-up verification. AMAROK’s monitoring team can assess the live feed and dispatch police with confirmed visual evidence of a crime in progress.

Advanced Configuration: Customizing for Specific Security Needs

No two commercial properties face the same threats. That’s why FORTIFEYE is customizable to match your specific site requirements, and reconfigurable if your needs change over time.

At AMAROK, our perimeter security experts conduct a free threat assessment to determine the ideal combination of cameras, fence configuration, and monitoring protocols. For example, a sprawling distribution center with limited lighting may benefit from thermal cameras and 55x zoom PTZ coverage, while a compact loading dock area is better served by fisheye cameras with 360-degree visibility.

Our security-as-a-service model means you can get FORTIFEYE at no up-front cost. We install, service, and maintain the entire system for a manageable monthly fee.
