The first ALERT Truck Mobile Surveillance System, a collaborative border surveillance platform has been delivered. A key technology included in the platform designed and sold by PVP Advanced Electro-Optical systems, Inc. (PVPAEO) is the PureActiv long range video analytics, camera control and map-based command and control.

The sensor suite is integrated onto a FORD F-150 FX4 Off-road chassis to enable rapid deployment. It also includes SRC Inc’s SR Hawk ground surveillance radar and the PVPAEO Night Hawk thermal/visible camera suite.

The system includes multiple sensors, as well as a compete command and control software integrated into a mobile vehicle platform. According to americansecuritytoday.com, Its mobility, long-range surveillance and automated detection is specifically designed for guarding borders and ensuring perimeter security of critical infrastructure.

“We saw an increasing need for mobile platforms which could provide advanced surveillance and control at long distances,” explains Geoff Miller, Manager, Program and Business Development at PVPAEO. “More important than just creating a mobile platform was the need to select the best sensors in the industry and provide them in a well-integrated system.”

Eric Olson, vice president of marketing at PureTech Systems, a manufacturer of wide-area perimeter surveillance software solutions, said: “Today’s surveillance needs have moved beyond the traditional fixed camera on a fence line. Sensors need to be smart, easy to set up, collaborative and able to move rapidly as threats move. This is especially true in ensuring border safety. The ALERT Truck system is an excellent example of how this can be achieved on a single platform and the inclusion of our PureActiv intelligent video integrated with these other top performing sensors makes a great security solution for border protection.”

The first ALERT Truck was delivered to a customer with plans to utilize the surveillance platform for border safety in the Middle East/North Africa.

More technologies for border and vital installations security will be the focus of iHLS forthcoming Offshore and Perimeter Security conference and exhibition, which will take place on June 25th, 2017 at the Lago Conference Center, Rishon LeZion.
