This revolutionary radar , coupled with industry leader FLIR ’ s PT-Series Thermal Cameras , addresses an important pain point for the perimeter security and intrusion detection market .
The CSR works in all weather and lighting conditions , so environmental factors do not limit the effectiveness of the security system the way they do when cameras alone are used .
SpotterRF provides the simplest radar available for wide area threat detection and the lowest cost solution using existing infrastructure for mounting .
Michael Chaffee , Director of Business Development at FLIR Systems
It is a cost-effective solution for substations needing to monitor the perimeter as well as inside the yard ,” said Michael Chaffee , Director of Business Development at FLIR Systems .
“ The speed at which the FLIR PT-Series slews to the cue of the SpotterRF detection is impressive .”
Additionally , FLIR Systems was recognized as the 2016 ‘ ASTORS ’ Homeland Security Platinum Award Winner for Best Thermal , Infrared Camera System .
The SpotterRF / FLIR integration efficiently and cost-effectively covers both large and small areas , can see hundreds of yards beyond the fence line , automatically cues the camera , and alerts security personnel all without the help of a human operator .
