(1888PressRelease)
September 26, 2009 - The Terra PTZ delivers super long range day/night surveillance. Its powerful 20-2000mm motorized zoom lens can detect intruders at distances up to 20km by day and detect vessels up to 30km away. It's twin, high-powered, continuous-wave laser active IR delivers intruder detection at 10km, recognition at 3km and identification at 1.2 km in complete darkness.
Industry Leading Performance
The Terra Series' integrated, twin, continuous- wave laser diodes dramatically surpass the traditional IR LED technology of Active IR by offering distances over 2km . It utilizes specially designed CCD image devices and IR corrected filters and optics to intensify light on an electronic level. This in tandem with the dual laser diodes allows the Terra Series to achieve night vision in complete darkness up to 8km +26,000ft. This is over 250% of its closest competitor and is the first active IR camera to achieve distances over 3km. The Terra Series offers significant advantages over thermal imaging by producing images with up to 500% higher resolution. Active IR also has the ability to go through windows and other optically pure substances at night allowing it to be used for both recognition and identification.
Long Range Zoom Optics
IR optimized optics for 24/7 long range surveillance up to 60,000Ft (20KM) by day and24,0000Ft (8KM) in 0 lux (complete darkness) while maintaining excellent clarity.
This makes it the choice for homeland security, critical infrastructure and military installations worldwide. It comes with a variety of lens sizes from 10~330mm to 20~2000mm to suite any application.
Superior Image Quality
The Terra Series incorporates highly tuned EMCCD imaging equipment optimized for long range surveillance to render superb detail and rich color by day. At night or in 0 lux environments the Terra series intensifies IR light on an electron level while eliminating glare from visible light rendering clean,crisp monochrome images. This allows the Terra series to capture minute details at great distances for 24/7 indisputable identification resulting in the prosecution of trespassing parties.
Anti-Blooming
Ascendent's IRBF blocks visible light emitted from streetlights and other bright sources (from 380-800nm) while increasing sensitivity to IR and laser illuminators (840-870NM). Our DNR and 50DB S/N eliminates blooming, streaking, video noise and other complications usually associated with IR imaging. This overcomes virtually any ambient lighting environment including fog, city, waves, complete darkness etc.
True 24/7 Operation
The Terra Series PTZ is a true 24/7 surveillance solution with viewing distances up to 60,000Ft (20km) by day and 24,000ft (8km) at night. Endless 360 degree PTZ driver allows it to pan, tilt and zoom with micro-step technology for quick accurate manual control or automatic operation via intelligent video analytics for flawless, uncompromising 24/7 operation.
Intuitive User-Friendly
Although the Terra Series is extremely sophisticated imaging equipment it is operated by an intuitive user friendly interface controlled with a mouse. The PTZ can also be controlled by a 3-axis joystick. Since the illumination atomicity syncs with the zoom lens it is just as easy as operating any standard PTZ while maintaining its superior performance.
Longevity and Reliability
The Terra Series is comprised of high quality components, precision engineered for unparalleled performance and reliability. The heavy duty PTZ driver implements brushless motor technology for endless 360 degree panning and tilting in increments as low as .01 degree. The ASC-500MIRF has an industry- leading MFTB of 100,000 IR lifetime. The lasers have an MFTB of 10,000 hours and can illuminate distances up to 8KM while only drawing 1.7W of power. The continuous zoom IR corrected Optics (10-1000 2x 20-2000mm and 12.5-750nm 2x 25-15000mm) are manufactured by Raymax. All these components can be integrated into a rugged IP67 stainless steel, explosion-proof housing to suite installations in the most hazardous environments in the world.
Flexible
The Terra Series is more than simply a long range camera. It is a complete security management solution that uses IP, analog and megapixel cameras for hybrid operation for limitless camera options. Not only a CCTV management solution, it can also integrate with access control, radar detection and sensors to streamline and increase efficiency of all security systems. These systems can be controlled via wires or wireless networks to effectively control the system up to 500KM away with an internal network provided they have sufficient privileges to do so.
Cost Effective
As mentioned above, the Terra Series has the ability to effectively synchronize CCTV, Sensors and Access Control allowing all essential security control using only one system. This significantly reduces training and personnel requirements. To further enhance cost savings the Terra Series allows the system to take advantage of prior security investments. Existing CCTV cameras, sensors and access control provide an affordable solution without compromising performance.
Unmanned Operation
The Terra Aeries PTZ is designed for unmanned operation. Sensors can be set to send telemetry to the PTZ when activated to automatically focus where perimeter has been breached. Additionally, integrated AVA automatically captures license plates, facial details, and tracks intruders for absolute situational awareness. AVA’s intelligent object detection/tracking /classification and video analysis is controlled by user-specified parameters for accurate unmanned 24/7 operation.
Intelligent Video (AVA)
AVA (Ascendent Video Analytics) is an innovative product that overcomes the constraints of traditional CCTV monitoring systems. It boasts a 180° panoramic display that allows monitoring of a wide area without blind spots by using 5-8 fixed cameras with a Terra PTZ that optically zooms and acquires identifying details such as a license plate or face. All these events are recorded using a proprietary, self-contained video/event database engine that can be accessed by a graphical easy to use interface. Unlike other video analytics it does not relay on external DBMSs such as MS-SQL, MS-Access, Oracle, etc. Video recording/search/playback/export can be performed based on events as well as time.
The Terra Series delivers unparalleled surveillance, situation assessment, and perimeter protection for military installations, borderlines, airports and critical infrastructure worldwide.
Ascendent Technology Group is looking for distributors, integrators and Reps world wide.
