Designed to cope with difficult terrain and weather conditions, 7324 Vital Technology’s Xtend is a mobile rapid deployment CCTV and onboard video analytics tower system which provides surveillance and intelligent scene analysis at locations that are vulnerable to theft, trespass and vandalism. The ruggedised solution incorporates a hydraulic mast and a 360-degree rotation tower housed in a trailer base unit with an environmentally-friendly 3000 rpm generator.

Xtend is flexible according to user requirements; a common configuration is a four pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera assembly which can include cameras for ultra low-light conditions. Thermal imaging cameras or a combination of thermal imaging and white light units identifies heat signatures. Optical performance can be up to 36x zoom. Xtend’s video analytics discriminates between people, animals and vehicles using algorithms with filters on direction, pattern of movement and speed. Processing only meaningful data optimises use of bandwidth and storage space.

A range of wireless solutions includes 3G or satellite standards. Effective use of radio frequency communications can produce a 1 kilometre line of sight, enabling Xtend to be deployed in remote locations.

Vital brings Xtend to the market with SMC, part of onsite power equipment company ArcGen Hilta. The portability of the optical and video analytics capability of Xtend is based on SMC’s Eco90 lighting tower and trailer assembly.

    Hikvision has upgraded its Darkfighter night surveillance technology with the DarkfighterX series, which it claims can provide colourful, sharp images down to the light levels of 0.001 lux. DarkfighterX cameras take brightness information from an IR sensor and that from a visible light sensor for colour, and combine them to provide a bright full-colour image. The DarkfighterX series includes a PTZ and bullet cameras - both come with optical defog, 25X optical zoom, 2MP resolution and smart detection.

    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.
