Abstract: A security sensor is provided which has a container body and a signal acquisition and processing module housed in the container body. The signal acquisition and processing module has a piezoelectric transducer configured to convert a mechanical stress to which the piezoelectric transducer is subjected into a first electrical signal, an accelerometric transducer configured to convert an acceleration to which the accelerometric transducer is subjected into a second electrical signal, and processing unit operatively connected to the piezoelectric transducer and to the accelerometric transducer for receiving the first and second electrical signals. The accelerometric transducer is a MEMS accelerometric transducer.

Abstract: A sensor adapted to be embedded in a layer of cement material of a pavement to detect pressure thrusts acting on said pavement. The sensor includes: a plate-like transducer; a base structure including a container fitted with a chamber such as to house said transducer and a layer of protective material defined between a surface in contact with said transducer and an opposite free surface; a pressure plate including a force transferring portion and a force receiving portion which projects compared to said force transferring portion, the force transferring portion including one end portion facing the force receiving portion and one opposite end portion. The force transferring portion is such as to distance the force receiving portion from the free surface so as to define between the force receiving portion and the free surface a region which can be filled at least in part with the cement material of the layer of cement material.

Abstract: A seismic sensor for a security system is described, the sensor comprising: a piezoelectric transducer suitable for converting mechanical stresses into electrical signals; a base structure including a seat suitable for receiving said transducer; a cover element that can be coupled with the base structure to define an inner chamber of said sensor. The sensor is wherein the cover element has an essentially bell-shaped body, is equipped with a bottom opening and includes side walls that extend around an axis of said opening, the base structure being provided with a collar that surrounds said seat and that crosses said bottom opening so as to define at least one channel communicating with said chamber between the side walls of said cover element and said collar.

Abstract: Described are embodiments that detect attempts at malicious action against an installation under surveillance based on signals detected by a plurality of sensors distributed near an installation.
