Correctional Facility Security with 3D LiDAR
Escape attempts, wall climbs and contraband throw-overs happen in seconds, often at night. Quanergy 3D LiDAR watches walls, fences and sterile zones in any light, tracks every person in real time and turns your PTZ cameras to the event.
Results from a witnessed test at a high-security site in the Middle East.
Seconds matter at the wall
Cameras with analytics struggle in narrow sterile zones, at night and under floodlight glare. Fence sensors alarm on wind and weather. Every false alarm pulls an officer away, and alarm fatigue sets in.
3D LiDAR measures real position, height and movement. It classifies people and vehicles, reports anything else as an unclassified object, and can raise a different alert at each height so officers know how close someone is to getting over.
Alerts go straight to your PTZ cameras and control room, so every event is verified in seconds.
Six ways LiDAR protects correctional facilities
One perception platform from the outer fence to the yard.
Know the moment someone enters
Detect and track any person in the zone between fences, with an exact position, and alarm only on people.
Alert at every height
Set layered alert zones up the wall so officers get an early warning, then an urgent one, before anyone reaches the top.
See what comes over the fence
Flag objects thrown over the perimeter and mark where they land, so staff can recover them before they reach the yard.
Keep restricted areas restricted
Draw 3D zones along inner fences, rooftops and service areas, and alert when someone crosses into them.
Extend what the tower sees
Give tower and control room staff a live 3D picture of the perimeter, including blind spots below and between towers.
Fewer false alarms, faster checks
On detection, Q-TRACK sends real-time coordinates to PTZ cameras and your VMS so officers verify in seconds.
Detect. Track. Classify. Alert.
Quanergy 3D LiDAR measures millions of 3D points per second. QORTEX DTC perception software detects, tracks and classifies every object, then sends alerts your existing security stack can act on.
- 1
Detect
360° 3D LiDAR covers wide areas with minimal blind spots, in any light or weather, including total darkness.
- 2
Track
QORTEX DTC follows every object with centimeter-level position, speed and direction, tracking up to 1,000 objects at once.
- 3
Classify
People and vehicles are classified by size and movement. Anything else is reported as an unclassified object, so alarms can be set on people and vehicles only.
- 4
Alert
Configurable 3D zones trigger real-time alerts and PTZ slew-to-cue, sent to your VMS and security operations center.
Fits the security stack you already run
Q-TRACK integrates with leading video management and security management platforms, so you upgrade detection without replacing your control room.

Protecting a government correctional facility in South Korea
A government correctional facility in South Korea needed more accurate surveillance and fewer false alarms than its camera-based system could deliver. Since 2019, Quanergy 3D LiDAR and perception software have protected the facility, deployed by a Korean integration partner and integrated with the existing camera system, with the project scheduled for further expansion.
- More accurate surveillance of the perimeter
- Fewer false alarms than camera-based operation
- Integrated with existing cameras
- In service since 2019 and expanding
At a high-security site in the Middle East, Quanergy LiDAR detected 100% of fence jump-over attempts with zero false alerts, after camera analytics failed the same tests. Police authorities witnessed every test.
Correctional facility security with LiDAR: common questions
Why do correctional facilities need LiDAR perimeter detection?
Correctional perimeters combine walls, double fences and narrow sterile zones that are hard for cameras to watch at night or under floodlight glare, and fence sensors often alarm on wind and weather. 3D LiDAR detects, tracks and classifies people in real time, in any light, with an exact position and height.
Can LiDAR detect someone climbing a wall or fence?
Yes. Because LiDAR measures height, alert zones can be layered up a wall or fence, so a climb triggers an early warning and then higher-priority alerts as the person gets closer to the top. In witnessed testing at a high-security site in the Middle East, Quanergy LiDAR detected 100% of jump-over attempts with zero false alerts.
Has Quanergy LiDAR been deployed at a correctional facility?
Yes. A government correctional facility in South Korea has used Quanergy 3D LiDAR and perception software since 2019 to improve surveillance accuracy and reduce false alarms from its camera-based system.
Does it work with existing PTZ cameras and security systems?
Yes. Q-TRACK integrates with leading VMS and security management platforms and sends real-time coordinates to PTZ cameras for slew-to-cue.
Does LiDAR capture personally identifiable information?
No. LiDAR measures shape, position and movement as 3D points, not faces.
