Thermal imaging dual-
spectrum security robot

Argus S5.2 IR — Thermal imaging dual-spectrum security robot

The new security robot Argus is proposed for delivery from mid-2020. The robot is equipped with a dual-spectral PTZ camera located on the top of the mast. This arrangement of the PTZ camera allows circular scanning of the surrounding area in the thermal and visible spectrums. Thermal video surveillance provides reliable detection of people and cars at night with little artificial lighting or its complete absence.

The camera of a visible spectrum forms a high-resolution image, it uses a new high light sensitivity sensor. The video image from both the thermal camera and the camera of the visible range is processed by the on-board computer. It provides PTZ camera control, human detection, and tracking.

NIGHTTIME VIDEO SURVEILLANCE WITH A THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA

360-degree thermal video surveillance

360-degree thermal video surveillance

A typical mode of operation of an intelligent video analysis system implies a circular rotation of the camera until a person is detected. Next, the tracking mode is turned on, and the camera tracks a person until his face is detected in the frontal position.

A photo of a person in the front position is suitable for subsequent recognition. If within 10 seconds the face image could not be obtained, the camera continues circular scanning.

Reliability and high efficiency of the surveillance system are achieved by the fact that a person is detected by the image from the thermal spectrum camera, and his image in the form suitable for recognition by the operator or by the face recognition system comes from the zoom module of the high-resolution visible spectrum camera module.

To ensure the safe operation of the robot, it is equipped with six cameras for continuous 360°-circular surveillance. The cameras have high sensitivity and work in high-resolution mode. The image from these cameras is analyzed by a separate on-board computer of a panoramic video surveillance system for detecting people. This solution allows you to detect an approaching person at a time when the scanning PTZ camera does not look in its direction.

Night security patrolling without outside lighting

Night security patrolling without outside lighting

Like all models of security robots manufactured by SMP Robotics. The new model, Argus, automatically moves along a pre-programmed patrol route, avoid obstacles, and returns to charge when the batteries are discharged. The security robot is charged automatically using the autonomous charging station included in the delivery package. The design of the security robot ensures its reliable movement on an uneven surface covered with rubble or small stones.

What makes it perfect for patrolling the perimeter in the territories of industrial enterprises. Video transmission from the robot, information about its location and operation of the systems is carried out via 4G or WiFi wireless communication channels. Video from CCTV cameras and alarm information is available for display in any stationary VMS supporting ONVIF protocol. The status and location of robots on patrol routes displayed in the web-based service for group monitoring of the operation of robots.
