Details about this application

Harbour protection 24/7

Mobile FLIR (= Forward Looking InfraRed) like VarioVIEW™ can handle all kinds of ambitious facility protection tasks. The powerful infrared sensor with (640 x 480) pixel achieves a very high identification option. This allows separating illegal persons from harbor staff. With VarioVIEW™ it is possible to follow a suspect leaving a boat over a distance of 2 km even in total darkness. In extended harbor facilities approaching boats can be detected beyond a distance of 8 km with this FLIR – this capability yields enough time for counteractive measures.

No matter which illumination level is realized in a harbor, with VarioVIEW™ all monitoring options are available 24 hours a day. VarioVIEW™ is more than just a binocular thermal sight. Image data may be observed via the ergonomic OLED viewfinder, but can be relayed via its video interface, SD slot or FireWire interface. In combination with the InfraTec IRBIS ® 3 remote software package a complete remote operation of all device functions is possible.
VarioCAM ® hr head is the right choice for those who only intend to operate via deployed 24/7 operations – this is supported by the very compact, tough camera body and a choice of lenses offered. It also allows perfect integration into all kinds of ground vehicles, boats, vessels and airborne vehicles. The big choice of electronical interfaces allows tailoring various options for remote control and image acquisition.
