Navtech Radar, a leading provider of radar surveillance technology, and Sightlogix, a leader for smart thermal video solutions, have entered into a technology partnership that enhances perimeter security through the integration of Navtech Radar’s Perimeter Intrusion Detection radar system with Sightlogix’s Sightsensor and Sighttracker PTZ smart cameras.
This partnership introduces a powerful end-to-end Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) for protecting outdoor sites and responding to perimeter breaches. The combined solution integrates Sightlogix’s smart thermal Sightsensor detection cameras and Sighttracker PTZ people trackers with Navtech Advanceguard Security Solution security software platform.
With this integration, Sighttracker PTZ will automatically zoom, classify, and follow intruders that have been detected by either the Navtech Advanceguard Solution or the Sightsensor thermal detection cameras. The result is a comprehensive platform for detecting, classifying, and tracking potential threats in all weather and light conditions, even in complex and cluttered environments, within a single organised interface.
Sightlogix Sightsensors are smart thermal cameras that detect intruders with outstanding reliability over large perimeters and outdoor areas. Sighttracker PTZ is designed to automatically classify and follow detected intruders as they move throughout the site. By re-centering the target up to 10 times per second, the Sighttracker PTZ keeps the intruder in clear view with striking zoomed-in detail, eliminating the latency and “false follows” common with other PTZ tracking systems, delivering highly reliable “eyes on until hands on” security protection.
Navtech’s Advanceguard security solution is an innovative, wide area surveillance system providing automatic continuous surveillance on both sides of the perimeter. It uses high-definition radar and intelligent, rules-based software to protect complex, active sites where legitimate and illegitimate activity may occur together, including airfields and large storage areas. It consistently wins side-by-side comparisons during comprehensive field trials, working in all weather and light conditions, requiring minimal infrastructure, and providing industry-leading low rates of false arms.
In summary, some of the key features of the integration include enhanced perimeter defence, automated intruder tracking, all-weather performance, reduced operator workload, and improved security accuracy.
Simonas Mikuzis, Security Segment Leader at Navtech Radar, stated, “This collaboration with Sightlogix represents a leap forward in our mission to provide cutting-edge security solutions that are not only reliable but also innovative. The integration of our radar system with Sightlogix’s Sighttracker PTZ ensures that large perimeters are not just monitored but actively secured with precision and efficiency.”
Jim Hahn, Sightlogix Chairman and CEO, added, “Our partnership with Navtech Radar provides customers with a proactive security solution that reliably detects and tracks outdoor intruders in real time, without the need for manual PTZ steering – instead, it’s fully automatic. This allows operators to focus on their response, preventing incidents before they occur and ensuring the highest level of security protection.’”
