Systems for round-the-clock surveillance and detection of optical and optoelectronic objects.
As is known, a high level of protection of a subject or object presupposes a significant saturation of the space around the protected with a variety of technical means and numerous security personnel. This circumstance complicates access to the object and obtaining information about the activities of individuals. Therefore, in 99% of cases out of a hundred, various optics are used to identify details of interest.
The task of timely detection and discovery of ongoing optical surveillance thus becomes one of the most important in carrying out both preventive and special protective and security measures. After all, timely detection of the fact of unauthorized surveillance makes it possible to establish the purpose for which it is being carried out and to determine the threat that may come from the person observing a particular object, person or group of people. As is known, covert surveillance is not carried out for the sake of idle interest.
A certain circle of people has long become a real target for journalists who are greedy for «hot» news. Covert photography and video filming are widely used to obtain information. How to protect yourself and your loved ones, the interests of the business and property in the conditions of an almost total and global photo and video hunt?
The company's main products are 24-hour surveillance systems, multifunctional devices that combine some of the properties of conventional night vision devices, optical devices, rangefinders with the ability to detect and locate enemy optical devices and sights. Functionally and structurally, the devices are made in a single unit, easy to operate and maintain, and can be compatible with video and television systems.
The weight and size characteristics of the devices are comparable to those of hand-held thermal imagers, rangefinders or video cameras (1.5-2 kg).
Hand-held (portable) models of devices can be upgraded to create stationary and mobile systems based on automotive equipment, helicopters, airplanes, sea boats (pleasure yachts) and ships. All system options can be combined into complexes with each other or with other security and signaling systems when modified.
The SOS can be used in both civil (special and security) and military (with appropriate modification) spheres.
The main purpose of the SOS in the special (security) sphere
Conducting optical monitoring of the territory and space to identify optical devices used for illegal and unlawful actions by individuals or groups of individuals, such as:
- terrorist snipers and hired killers;
- terrorists conducting surveillance of objects and subjects;
- people who carry out unauthorized surveillance, photography, filming and video shooting (paparazzi).
Tasks to be solved:
- security of VIPs;
- security of important residential, administrative and industrial buildings and facilities;
- registration of the fact of covert surveillance of objects and subjects;
- detection of hidden photo and video cameras;
- detection of miniature hidden video cameras (in any state: on or off; fiber-optic);
- detection of surveillance conducted from behind tinted windows of buildings and cars;
- identification of vehicles at night.
Principles of operation of SOS and their application
The systems can be used by security units, government security services, and corporate security services. The range of application of the SOS is quite wide: protecting state borders on land and at sea, combating drug trafficking, smugglers, and pirates. From a technical point of view, the proposed SOS uses laser radiation; the SOS are devices of the 2nd class of laser hazard, the design of which uses electronic optical converters. This equipment is safe for civilians and can be actively used in public and crowded places without any harm to others. An important advantage of the systems is selective work on optical targets, which makes it possible to accurately determine what exactly is in front of you: a civilian movie camera or a military optical sight.
Mirage-1200 24-hour surveillance and optical object detection system
The 24-hour surveillance and optical object detection system «Mirage-1200» (photo 1) is one of the most popular and actively purchased security systems on the market. The demand for this system is explained by the wide range of tasks it solves. In fact, the customer gets the opportunity to use the same device for various needs. Thus, there is no need to use night vision devices. You get the opportunity to see around the clock. In fact, you are given a unique opportunity to receive a combined laser and television image. You get the opportunity to see in conditions of significant light interference. For example, with flashes, flares, sudden or constant sources of strong light radiation. At the same time, you do not «go blind», as when working with a night vision device, but get a stable and clear image.
Being a compact and convenient device, the Mirage-1200 is practically no different from a regular video or movie camera. This is important for providing covert control of the surrounding space. Having a Mirage in your hands will not be regarded as something non-standard, and therefore dangerous. Another important advantage of the system is the ability to qualitatively recognize people against the background of the underlying surface. A completely camouflaged person dressed in a Gore-Tex suit will not hide from the sensitive eye of the Mirage. The Mirage system distinguishes people's eyes well. But perhaps the most interesting feature of the system is the ability to view dark hidden areas. For example, attics, dark rooms or basements. The Mirage penetrates into the premises, confidently recognizing objects and items located there. The delivery set includes a special device for supporting the system when working in a car and on the move. This allows you to rest your hands, communicate by radio or get a weapon if necessary. There is also a device for mounting the «Mirage» on a tripod. The system has a video output, which makes it possible to record the results of work, display them on a remote monitor, TV or computer.
Myth-350 System
«The younger brother» of «Mirage» is the «Myth-350» system (photo 2). This new modification of the reliable and easy-to-use «city» system, well known to dozens of consumers, provides the same level of solving operational problems as «Mirage-1200», but at ranges of up to 400 meters. The «Myth-350» system, which is more miniature in size, can also be used indoors, successfully detecting hidden cameras. It effectively «reads» car license plates in the dark and is resistant to light interference. A clear example of the effectiveness of the «Myth-350» system is the «Myth-350» system. is its ability to detect people standing hidden in a partition wall, between two brightly lit windows. It, like the «Mirage» system, is practically insensitive to this kind of light interference or low-beam and even high-beam car headlights. While the use of conventional optical devices or night vision devices in such conditions is impossible. For the optimal solution of problems in optical space monitoring, an original method of integrated use of optical detection systems has been developed. Techniques have been developed that allow detecting targets behind tinted windows of rooms and cars.
Small-sized monocular detector «Almaz»
The company's new product is a compact monocular detector «Almaz» (photo 3). This device is designed to combat hidden mini-cameras of all types and kinds indoors at a distance of up to 10 meters. The camera can be turned off, use fiber optics, various filters, grids, masking hoods and attachments. «Almaz» fits in the operator's hand and is practically invisible to an outside observer. All systems are distinguished by a high technical level of performance, they widely use common power sources, they are simple and easy to operate and maintain, and can be compatible with other systems, including integrated security systems.
The existing experience of using optical detection systems by various users allows us to talk about a qualitatively new approach with a predominantly preventive component to ensuring security in both the commercial and public spheres.
