3. A computerized method for planning a security array of sensor units for monitoring a target site, said method comprising the step of:
obtaining site data including geographical data and CAD design information relating to the site;
defining user requirements for the target site, including monitored area coordinates;
defining design constraints relating to user requirements for the site data; and
analyzing the site data with site definitions and constraint definitions, for computing at least one design parameter of the security array, wherein said analysis includes geometrical processing of site data for testing the design constraints effect on the sensor units monitoring capabilities;
wherein the security sensors units are optical sensors;
wherein the user requirements further include coverage area desired percentage and cost constraints and the computed design parameters include the positioning coordinates of the security sensors devices, wherein the analysis includes an optimization iterative process for calculating the optimal design parameters within the given constrains which provide the desired coverage area.
