Monitor Ship Surroundings At Sea

Terrorism threats and growing piracy in difficult-to-monitor waterways are adding to concerns about crew survival and cargo loss. The solution: deploy on-board perimeter awareness measures - including long-range night vision cameras. With Obzerv's cost-effective and robust system, threats can be identified sooner, even in poor visibility.

In competitive testing, the Obzerv active imaging camera successfully distinguished between hard-to-see activities. View these fishing boats with and without active imaging.

Border Control

The refugee flood, illegal immigration, and smuggling are prompting governments to strengthen coastal and border surveillance programs. Even historically open borders (including the 4,000 km joining the US and Canada) are now under review. Some European nations are tightening security along hundreds of kilometers of borders and coastlines, deploying systematic measures for more accurate surveillance. Obzerv's active imaging systems can help.

Environmental Surveillance

Obzerv's cameras is ideal for environmental surveillance aimed at reducing shipments of illegal oil and toxic materials. Also deploy it in War on Drugs programs, search and rescue operations, and for identifying illegal fishing activities.
