Radar unit demo

by Mark Rowe

EyeLynx has designed a portable pack fitted with its EPR-500 radar and all-in-one Pharos PTZ camera on top of a tripod and is offering security managers a free demo to show how it can detect potential intruders up to a quarter of a mile away – and drones at 80m.

EyeLynx want to show site operators live the EPR-500’s ability to detect security threats early and the capability of EyeLynx software to control CCTV autonomously and zoom in to collect evidence and send to patrols or control rooms.

Chief executive officer Jay Patel says: “We built this pack so we can visit your site, get in your car and drive to the remotest location and set up the radar within minutes with a hammer, batteries and camera and demonstrate the extraordinary range of this powerful radar. Even in dense fog or at night, we’ve proven this at sites where it has followed a train travelling at 60mph, panned back to pick up people, then locked onto vehicles entering and leaving the gated car park.

“Installed correctly at strategic locations, the EPR-500 can serve as a high-performance very-low-cost early warning of potential threats on huge sites, with minimal maintenance and no user intervention once it has been fitted. Used this way, we believe it could cut the burden on security guards having to monitor and control multiple CCTV cameras. Security managers can simply log in and manage the site from anywhere using our free SharpView Manager Professional software.”

Radar requires line of sight to the target object, so EyeLynx will advise on PIDs or PIRs and other technologies for blind spots. The system supports multiple radars, cameras and these other sensors and analyses the outputs against user-configured priorities. The installation and configuration consumes less than 2.5W power and works on the C-band, so no special licences are needed, the product developers add. The radar can work as an add-on to operators’ video management system – or as a package using EyeLynx’s technology.

The system detects moving vehicles in any weather it is claimed, even at night, up to 700m away, people at 400m and drones at 80m.

Integrated into SharpView video management software, it will automatically control PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras that follow movements detected by the radar to monitor, track and provide warnings of intruders on protected sites, such as utilities, military bases, borders, airports, large campuses, solar farms and stately homes.

The EPR-500 radar with SharpView detects, tracks and records moving objects in a 120 degree field of view, such as people and transport, in high resolution, even at night, making it suitable the makers say for airport perimeter intruder detection, railway trackside public safety and building site security and asset protection. The video coverage can also record legitimate activity within the perimeter for health and safety, and productivity, monitoring.
