The perfect team: camera & radar

5 benefits of combining video and radar technology

 

 

When it comes to surveillance, high-resolution video technology is the standard. But what happens when this technology can no longer cope with the requirements? The idea of expanding security systems with radar overcomes an array of possible problems associated with video surveillance that uses only one technology.

The growing demand for security and the expectations that go with this are forcing manufacturers of security applications to constantly optimise and develop their products further. Some challenges, however, cannot be overcome by one technology alone, and instead new concepts are required such as the combination of radar technology and CCTV. The security industry will benefit long-term from these four advantages of the exemplary duo:

Money can also be saved when procuring a video camera provided a radar-assisted system is chosen. Cameras that are designed to cover as wide an area as possible (even in poor light conditions) with maximum detail are extremely expensive. With a combination device, the resolution of the camera does not need to be designed for the far distance. Distance monitoring is taken care of by the additional radar sensor. On a day-to-day basis, security personnel are able to focus on urgent risk situations since they are largely spared from the tasks of constant video monitoring and responding to false alarms.

Advantages of the combination radar & video camera

The interaction of the radar sensor and CCTV combines only the best of both technologies. The advantages of the camera, such as the high-resolution, realistic image in real time, are primarily used for person recognition and the documentation of events. The discreetly integrated radar sensor focuses on the error-free execution of security services. This additional technical reliability makes working in the security sector much more agreeable and efficient. The monitoring of outdoor areas especially benefits from the synergy effects of the two security applications. Together, radar and video technology make an unbeatable team for the future of security surveillance

Radar for Security Technology

Security of buildings, installations, outdoor and danger areas

Radar sensors successfully established themselves in the security industry years ago. Motion detectors in alarm systems, access controls and area monitoring use electromagnetic waves to secure premises, building complexes or properties. RADAR offers a wide range of solutions for various security requirements.
