AF-Zoom and Board Cameras for Law Enforcement & Surveillance

Requirements from police, law enforcement agencies, government authorities, surveillance companies and homeland security are becoming increasingly complex. Cameras are expected to deliver high-resolution images and video in real-time, sometimes across a large network. UAVs and ROVs are being deployed not just for enhanced surveillance but also in an active role to counter crime.

Autofocus-zoom cameras offer the flexibility required

Active Silicon’s range of Harrier AF-Zoom cameras meet the stringent requirements of police and security officers with their compact size and powerful imaging capability. Every camera is equipped with a fast and reliable autofocus which adapts to a changing target distance or field of view in real-time and powerful zoom options allow zooming in and out as required. Our IP cameras offer extremely low latency, supporting video transmission in critical situations.

Airborne UAVs and underwater ROVs are often used in law enforcement operations. Harrier AF-Zoom cameras support these applications with compact and light weight models allowing drones to transmit real-time high-quality video for longer flights.

With a variety of zoom options and outputs available, our AF-Zoom and board cameras enable:

  • Traffic monitoring
  • Parking enforcement
  • Access control
  • Border protection
  • ANPR and ALPR
  • Public area surveillance
  • Body-worn imaging
  • Counter-drone systems

Board cameras suitable for body-worn surveillance

Body-worn cameras must be highly reliable, compact and have low power needs. Our Oriole HD-SDI board cameras meet these requirements and the camera can be supplied with a switchable IR-cut filter, offering excellent day and night vision. A global shutter option enables the capture of fast moving objects without blur.

Contact us with your surveillance requirement to see which of our Harrier AF-Zoom cameras or Oriole board cameras will be best suited to your application.
