Powamaxx has announced the availability in southern Africa of thermal imaging radar solutions range from Thermal Radar in Utah. Thermal Imaging Radar is a 360-degree camera solution combining a high-performance thermal camera with an intelligent geospatial platform that provides for a state-of-the-art observation and detection solution.
TIR’s patented thermal radar technology allows one thermal sensor to do the work of up to 20 separate thermal cameras. Using less than 6 W of power, the Thermal Radar was designed to be used in rugged and remote areas as well as high traffic urban settings. It can operate where electronic resources are limited through solar and battery operated power sources as well as Wi-Fi, GSM, CDMA and satellite communications systems. Thermal Radar becomes the ideal observation and detection solution for critical infrastructure locations and for organisations wishing to protect their interests wherever those interests may be located.
This standalone sentry views thermal images from over 600 metres away and will immediately alert user defined contacts of abnormalities through its GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi or satellite communication network.
TIR’s continuous rotating LWIR camera provides intelligent high-definition infrared surveillance. Rotating at speeds up to 60 RPM this incredible camera stitches together a composite image of up to 20 virtual thermal cameras creating a 360° thermal image of over 5 MP. An operator can view the composite image in near real time as it continuously updates. Whenever the on-board video analytics detect an intrusion or high temperature event, the unit has the ability to send alerts.
Thermal Radar features
Self-contained surveillance solution: Thermal Radar operates as a fully self-contained unit providing its own power, communications, connectivity, analytics and alert monitoring. You can literally take it anywhere an ATV can go and deploy it in minutes.
Onboard video analytics: Simple, easy to use analytics allows the user to quickly identify intrusions over the entire 360° FOV.
Flexible alert platform: Once an alert has been identified by the analytics, Thermal Radar has the ability to send these event notifications along with coordinates and JPEG images via SMS, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, satellite or even pre-recorded phone messages.
Vary the alert notifications by time of day, day of week, person, alert category, group, etc. Send only what you want to whom you want, when you want it.
Completely undetectable: Unlike radar or other active surveillance systems, Thermal Radar is a completely passive system, rendering it invisible and impossible to detect.
Day or night/fair or bad weather: Thermal cameras have long since demonstrated their ability to penetrate dust storms, fog, smoke and complete darkness. No lights, emitters or other devices are required. This camera sees the same image day or night without any assistance or support.
Cost effective: Thermal Radar’s ability to multiply the power and capability of a single thermal sensor to do the work of 20 separate sensors allows it to provide cost effective blanket thermal coverage to any site.
Rugged and reliable: All components, including the entire rotating assembly, are completely protected from the elements inside a sealed enclosure. No rotating seals to fail, no more sandblasted lenses, no more fogged out images are just a few of the advantages of Thermal Radar’s design.
Lightweight and portable: Thermal Radar tips the scales at less than four pounds. When combined with its optional, portable, aluminium tower, Thermal Radar can be easily towed to any site with a conventional ATV and deployed 9 m in the air in minutes. No supporting infrastructure required. This combination is completely self-contained.
ONVIF member: Made to operate with other ONVIF compliant devices.
GeoSpatial: Once calibrated, Thermal Radar has the ability to pinpoint any alert on a map and to send those coordinates to the user as part of the event notification. This makes it the ideal platform for tracking objects and can be used in conjunction with other camera systems to provide “slew to cue” data.
