The system consists of fence or wall mounted sensors that detect small changes in movement caused by intruders attempting to cut through the fence fabric, climb over the fence, or in the case of wall-mounted systems, attempts to break through the wall.

The system employs GM's EDC Technology (electronic detection capability) which, together with the electronic sensor has no reliance on moving parts to generate detection data. Moving parts are a constant source of false alarms in competing systems.

As a result the V-alert system does not suffer from false alarms even in extremely windy conditions.

The system has an additional advantage - detection resolution every 3 meters as a result of each sensor having its own electronic ID.

The V-alert system instantly converts almost any type of existing fence (welded mesh, chain link etc) or wall into a highly reliable electronic intruder detection system for use in any type of high security applications such as airports, military and government strategic installations, commercial warehouses and industrial parks.
