Intruder Detection
Navtech Radar is dedicated to producing affordable commercial off-the-shelf radar solutions for industrial applications. No other company has the equivalent wealth of experience and expertise of developing millimetre wave radar products in Navtech’s chosen markets.
The combination of low power emission, high range resolution and sophisticated tracking software make Navtech Radar solutions unrivalled in performance at their radar frequency. Equally important is Navtech’s focus on affordable commercial technology. This ensures optimum performance is reproducible at an affordable and winning price.
The radar sensors and associated software are all the proprietary design of Navtech Radar. All products are manufactured in the UK. This has a dual benefit. There is an ease and speed of manufacture of quality British made products. Customers will also encounter an engineering dynamism and willingness to solve problems and satisfy requests for bespoke product features, that comes from talking directly to the inventors of the technology in these applications.
All Navtech Radar sensors operate at 76 to 77GHz which is the deregulated European automotive band.
AdvanceGuard
The Navtech AdvanceGuard surveillance solution provides a wide area detection and tracking system, covering both the perimeter and the area within a secure site. It uses a high frequency radar to scan the area and advanced tracking algorithms to follow intruders. The system includes a background map display which shows the location of people or vehicles to a control room operator as they move within the site. Map locations are updated once a second. CCTV cameras can be controlled to automatically follow a threat and thermal cameras can be included as part of the system if required. Navtech AdvanceGuard operates in all weather and light conditions and can detect a variety of targets including people, vehicles or boats over water.
AdvanceGuard works directly with its essential component witness. Comprising of six integrated modules, witness provides a range of crucial system services - from tracking targets and controlling cameras to handling the complex algorithms that analyse a targets behaviour and assign threat levels.
Navtech Radar offers a range of radar suitable for use within the AdvanceGuard solution. These operate up to a maximum detection distance of 200 to 1600 metres. The radar are suitable for mounting either close to the ground or several metres up, out of reach as required. Detection and non detection zones can be configured in the Navtech Radar software to suit the particular site requirements. Different interfaces are also available including simple alarm output devices though to Security Management System integration.
