Radar Integration Adds Camera Tracking System
01 Sep 2006
Texas USA based Night Vision Technologies Inc (NVTi) has introduced scientific advancements to its series 5000 and 6000 multiple sensor vision systems to provide superior radar integration and object tracking.
The new radar integration programme connects the camera to the radar software system.
When the radar detects an object, be it a floating container or another vessel, the cameras will automatically track to that location. Locking onto the object, the cameras will follow it until the vessel has safely passed by. Instead of trying to guess what the blip on the radar screen is, the camera immediately displays an image.
The latest 5000 and 6000 multiple sensor vision systems also provide improved fields of sight with the thermal imager. They are 360 on model 5000/6000, 230 on the 5100/6100, and 90 on the 5200/6200 model. Also available on the series are an ultra low lux camera, light intensified imager and a high resolution 312x zoom colour camera.
For superior vision, the series includes a directional indicator and 3600 continuous pan capability.
Both of the series have the same standard and optional capabilities. The 6000 units offer additional features such as a gyro-stabilised platform that keeps the tilt-head steady even in rough waters. All units are protected by hermetically sealed pressurised housings.
The systems offer a proportional joystick and backlit controller for simplified control of the units. A Cat-5 cable can provide control from distances up to 1,220m. Users can also view and control the cameras from any location through optional remote internet access.
