Security News Desk looks at the technology combination of radar and cameras to see how they can exploit each other’s capabilities to create more effective monitoring solutions. We start with a new partnership between 360 Vision Technology and Navtech Radar and then invite comment from other suppliers.
With IP-based and cross-platform-integration-capable security solutions becoming the norm in the security market, it makes sense that different systems should trade off the strengths of each other to create more powerful end packages.
Recently we have seen this with access control systems being tied to cameras and even HVAC systems, but one of the other logical combinations is radar and CCTV. In this instance the radar is used to detect a target, before triggering a camera to start recording. Not only does this provide a targeted approach to identification, but it also negates the need for cameras to run 24/7 – cutting down storage and analysis time and cost.
