HGH Infrared Systems’ new IR Revolution 360 Camera is the world’s only real-time, rotating-head, thermal imaging system for security and surveillance. The compact, ruggedized sensor instantaneously images a full 360° rotation per 1 or 2 seconds for automatic, real-time, intrusion detection and tracking.

An ultra-wide, 360 degree panoramic field of view (FOV) plus continuous monitoring capabilities ensures that no event or disturbance goes unnoticed. The high-sensitivity, infrared, revolving camera head can detect a human from a distance of 1 to 3 km, even in total darkness, or through smoke or hazy conditions. Designed to replace multi-camera perimeter security systems, HGH’s revolutionary new camera offers exceptional, panoramic thermal image quality and an area-of-interest zoom. The IR Revolution 360 features remote control through a point-and-click interface on a Windows operating system via an Ethernet connection. The system can be set up in minutes and can operate without the need for manual object orientation.

The IR360 Revolution is compact enough that it can be mounted on trailers, mobile stands, and civilian or military vehicles. This allows the monitoring of remote areas without the installation of permanent infrastructure.

The Cyclope software interprets the data from the IR Revolution 360, which enables simultaneous visualization & detection of all intrusions over 360°.

The Cyclope software allows for many simultaneous views, including:

• Multiple Zoom windows with scrolling capability in each.
• Annular 360° view for fast scrolling
• Multiple Screen capability, with unlimited zoom windows
• Full 360° Panoramic view with selectable number of strips

The Cyclope software has multiple IR color palettes, with manual & automatic contrast adjustments and histogram control.

The Cyclope software can detect and track multiple objects over the full 360-degree image area.

They Cyclope software runs on any capable PC system with Windows XP Professional™ or higher. The Windows based software interface is easy to learn and intuitive, providing a clear display of the panoramic image as well as the ability zoom on areas of interest. The IR Revolution 360 provides great flexibility in accessing and displaying thermal imagery of events and intrusions in the field of view.

A powerful algorithm performs detection of targets in complex backgrounds. Detection and tracking of intruders are immediate and automatic, even over extremely large areas in total darkness, or through smoke and inclement weather.

Some other possible uses include:

• Airport traffic monitoring
• Search and rescue
• Night time navigation
• Early detection of forest fires
