Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated announced the release of new additions to its perimeter security portfolio for critical infrastructure; Elara™ R-Series Commercial Ground Security Radars and the FH-Series Multispectral Fixed Cameras.

Elara R-Series and FH-Series

A first for Teledyne FLIR, the Elara R-Series is the ideal commercial radar system for industrial commercial applications, increasing detection coverage, auto-tracking, dynamic mapping, and position intelligence of intruders. Part of the Teledyne FLIR premium family of multispectral security cameras, the FH-Series delivers both intrusion detection and video verification through its high-resolution thermal and visible imaging capabilities.

These features plus the ability to capture vital details using 4K imagery enable security personnel to identify and assess situations, significantly improving response time properly.

Compact ground radars

Elara R-290, which is compliant with United States FCC, and the Elara R-190, which is CE-compliant for Europe

The Elara R-Series introduces compact ground radars built to work within larger security systems to provide advanced warning of both human and vehicle intrusions beyond the fence line, while continuously tracking and precisely locating multiple targets.

This series consists of two models, each designed with regional certifications in mind: the Elara R-290, which is compliant with United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines, and the Elara R-190, which is Conformité Européenne (CE)-compliant for Europe.

90-degree field of view

The Elara R-290 features a 90-degree field of view, up to a 400-metre range for vehicle tracking, a 200-metre range for human tracking, and provides wide-area protection as well as situational awareness beyond the fence line; the Elara R-190 offers a 300-metre range for vehicles and 125 metres for humans.

These products are designed for reliable detection in all weather and lighting conditions. 

Auto-tracking feature

In addition, both models can provide security personnel with precise, real-time data, 24/7

The radars’ auto-tracking feature helps to direct pan-tilt-zoom surveillance sensors in the right direction; the radars also help expand coverage area and significantly minimise false alarms.

In addition, both models can provide security personnel with precise, real-time data, 24/7.

Ruggedised, multispectral fixed cameras

The FH-Series are ruggedised, multispectral fixed cameras that integrate industry-leading thermal imaging for detection with 4K visible imaging to help identify intruders in harsh perimeter security settings.

Critical infrastructure facilities will benefit from technological advancements, such as highly accurate convolutional neural network (CNN)-based video analytics for both thermal and visible spectrums, which minimise false alarms and aid in geo-locating threats for superior situational awareness.

Onboard scheduling tool

Additionally, radiometric versions of the FH-Series can be used for early fire detection applications

The onboard scheduling tool allows the operator to select the type of analytics used to make detections based on time of day, business hours, and seasonality.

Additionally, radiometric versions of the FH-Series can be used for early fire detection applications to help critical sites operate safely and efficiently.

Cyber-hardening features

Teledyne FLIR is committed to equipping security directors with technologies that empower them to protect their facilities and personnel at mission-critical sites,” said Kai Moncino, Global Business Development Manager, Security at Teledyne FLIR.

Kai Moncino adds, “The Elara R-Series and FH-Series are built to enhance perimeter protection, providing accurate detection and alerting of threats. As with our new products, the Elara R-Series and FH-Series are designed with the latest cyber-hardening features for added security and peace of mind.
