Radar Detection

See What Cameras Cannot.

Detect intruders in zero visibility -- fog, dust, snow, or total darkness. Radar triggers your PTZ cameras to zoom and track the target automatically. This is the perimeter technology no camera-only system can match.

The Challenge

Your perimeter is large, unsecured and vulnerable.

The Problem: Cameras work under most weather conditions-- but what about when the fog rolls in, or it's snowing or blowing dust storms reduces visibility to almost zero? Radar along with thermal imaging works under all of these conditions.

Why Camera-Only Falls Short: Standard video surveillance detects what it can see. Motion sensors generate excessive false alarms from wildlife, vegetation, and weather -- traditional alarm systems have 94-98% false alarm rates. Fence-mounted sensors detect perimeter contact but provide no advance warning. By the time the fence alarm triggers, the intruder is already at your boundary. None of these technologies detect a person approaching across open ground at long range in zero visibility.

PTZ camera detection
The Solution

The RadiusVision Approach

RadiusVision's radar-based intrusion detection uses radar to detect, classify, and track moving targets regardless of lighting, weather, or atmospheric conditions. AI-powered classification distinguishes people, vehicles, and animals to dramatically reduce false alarms. And here is the capability that changes everything: slew-to-cue. When radar detects an intruder, it automatically commands the nearest PTZ camera to lock on and track the target -- giving your monitoring team verified video of an approaching threat before they reach the perimeter. Complete managed security available with 24/7 monitoring and ongoing support.

Features

Detect Through Zero Visibility

Radar penetrates fog, dust, smoke, snow, rain, and total darkness. Your perimeter protection does not degrade when conditions change -- it remains constant, 24/7/365. Standard radar detects people up to 460 feet, vehicles at 580 feet. Long range radar available with detection range of up to 5 miles.


Slew-to-Cue PTZ Automation

When radar detects a target, it sends coordinates to your PTZ camera, which automatically rotates, zooms in and locks onto the target, classify and tracks movment. Detection to visual confirmation in seconds -- no manual camera operation required.


Target Classification

Distinguish humans from vehicles from animals. Advanced signal processing classifies targets by size, speed, and movement pattern. False alarms from wildlife and environmental motion drop to near zero.

Wide-Area Coverage Per Device

A single radar unit can cover a 270-degree detection zone that can detect a human up to 460'. This same area would require dozens of cameras to monitor. Protect your perimeter with fewer devices, less infrastructure, and lower cost per linear foot.

Verified Alarm Response

Radar detection plus automatic camera verification equals verified alarms with visual evidence. Dispatch law enforcement with confirmed intrusion data, not guesswork. Verified alarms receive priority police response.

Works in Every Condition

No degradation in fog, rain, snow, dust, smoke, or total darkness. Radar operates on microwave returns, not visible light.

HOW IT WORKS

Radar-Camera Integration

01

Radar Scans the Perimeter

A single radar can continuously scans a 270-degree field of view, detecting people at 460 feet and vehicles at 580 feet. Two 180-degree radars can create 360-degrees of coverage. Works through rain, fog, snow, and total darkness. Radar operates 24/7/365 under all weather and environmental conditions.


02

Classify and Filter

AI algorithms classify each detection — person, vehicle, animal, or environmental. False positives from wind, rain, or wildlife are filtered automatically. Only real threats generate alerts.

03

Slew-to-Cue Camera Verification

When radar detects a confirmed target, it sends GPS coordinates to your PTZ camera, which automatically slews-to-cue to lock on and track the intruder. No operator intervention needed.


04

Alert, Respond, Document

Video verified intrusions trigger immediate action — central monitoring dispatch, on-site audio warnings, or direct client notification. Every event is time-stamped and documented for evidentiary use.

Use Cases

  • Critical Infrastructure Perimeters

    Power substations, water treatment plants, and communication facilities. Radar detects intruders approaching long before they reach the fence, in any weather, day or night.

  • Oil and Gas Facilities

    Refineries, compressor stations, and pipeline corridors face sabotage, theft, and environmental compliance threats. Radar provides early warning across vast perimeters where camera coverage alone leaves gaps.

  • Mining Operations

    Open-pit mines, haul roads, and processing facilities in dusty, remote environments -- exactly the conditions where cameras fail and radar excels.

  • Power Substations

    Copper and materials theft at electrical substations causes widespread outages and billions in damages. Radar detects approach at long range, triggering camera verification and law enforcement dispatch before the fence is breached.

  • Perimeter Detection Solutions

    Radar is the foundation of RadiusVision's perimeter detection capability -- combining detection, automatic camera verification, and verified alarm dispatch into one integrated system.
