S-COMM – Under Vehicle Surveillance System (UVSS)

SAE Systems is delighted to offer the most capable and flexible UVSS available for detecting contraband, drugs, explosives, and other objects. If your premises are worth securing, it’s worth looking into Under Vehicle Surveillance Systems.

Our UVSS solutions are designed to scan, monitor, and digitally record crisp, clear digital video images of the entire width of a vehicle’s undersides—all with one permanent or portable system.

Careful integration of components makes the UVSS a cost-effective and convenient solution for checking all types of vehicle traffic. It’s an ideal solution for government, military, corporate, and transportation facilities—wherever complete vehicle monitoring is required.

Advanced imaging and LED illumination provide clear, high-resolution video of the vehicle’s underside to help detect attached packages, explosives, and other objects.

For monitoring, images are processed by digital video recorder (DVR) capable of recording 4-16 channels simultaneously and then displaying moving images on screen. The UVSS DVR delivers the full picture of a vehicle’s entire width and length for a fraction of the cost of less capable systems.

Each UVSS system gives you total flexibility in integrating with your current security system. The open architecture means you can connect to your existing CCTV system, transmit your video over IP, fibre-optics, coax, or wireless, and integrate with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and driver image-capture cameras. The system can be configured with motion detection or loop detection so that you only record “live” events. You can view in real-time and full colour the entire length of the under vehicle. There is no waiting as in line-scan systems and no need for expensive image-processing computers. See it live with no delay. And it’s just as easy to store images on a DVR to keep a high-resolution record of all vehicles.

   

The heavy-duty low profile galvanised steel ramps have a 48-ton capacity and are designed to withstand harsh environments, rugged terrain, and extreme temperatures. Likewise cameras and lighting are encased in sturdy weatherproof housings. LED’s offer the most reliable low-heat light source available with a typical life of over 100,000 hours. LED’s are preferred over halogen lamps because of their significantly longer life and lower heat generation.

High-resolution colour cameras give you clear sharp images. Bright white high-intensity Led-based lighting illuminates the vehicle’s undercarriage so details aren’t lost in shadows, and with the ability to place cameras anywhere along the length of the ramp, wheel wells and other details are easy to capture. Focal length, field of view, and angle of the camera simulate a person in a pit viewing vehicles passing over.

The cameras feature a tough, scratch-proof sapphire lens. Since there are no areas for water to gather, there are no special drainage requirements or special cleaning equipment required. Each system is backed with a manufacturer’s unconditional no-questions-asked warranty.

Permanent and portable systems are available; the portable version is installed by just laying the ramp in the inspection area with some traffic cones around it. It comes with a galvanised cable protector to cover and protect the cables that go to the portable monitoring station.

Permanent versions can be field-installed by one person in less than one hour. There are no pits to dig and no major construction required. Rugged camera modules have high-intensity bright white LED’s built in.

The UVSS system can be tailored to suit your requirement in terms of length and number of cameras. The bright LED’s allow the UVSS to be used in the dead of night without any additional lighting.
