FLIR’s Nexus is a proprietary communication protocol that helps bridge the gap between devices and systems, ensuring a more complete understanding of the environment outside and inside a security perimeter. Creating a detection system’s tracking layer and providing complete situational awareness requires a system integrator to coordinate the communication between many different technologies. Without an overarching communication system, this type of coordination can be quite complicated, requiring the integrator to set up a series of rules to first identify the target, classify it as a threat, locate the physical location, and then track the target as it moves.
