Port Surveillance with SPYNEL 360 IR sensors

Ports, open water areas and coastlines constitute a particular target for terrorism and other criminal activities because of their economic importance but also because they are very difficult to secure.

Port Surveillance : Challenges to secure kilometers of coasts and ports

Kilometers of open water to secure, very wide areas
Possible important traffic around the monitored zone
Exposure to severe conditions: fog, wind
A passive, undetectable system is often imperative
Integration with COP workstation and display
Detection & tracking of boats undetectable by radars (RHIBS, small wooden boats…)
Detection and tracking of swimmers
Detection of small boats in rough sea

Port Surveillance Solutions

The Spynel panoramic infrared security systems are entirely adapted to port security and their surveillance needs. The 5 members of the Spynel range produce 360° images, and are compatible with the automatic intrusion detection software Cyclope, to track any type of threat in real-time. The IR sensors operate like “radars with eyes” but are totally passive and thus, undetectable. In addition, the Spynel mid or long wave infrared sensors can detect a small boat (RHIB) up to the horizon in total darkness and harsh weather conditions, including fog and rain.
