The leader in high-performance infrared sensors and camera technology.
Dust. Smoke. Humidity. Airborne sand. See right through them in daytime
or at night with the Amber/Raytheon Argus Sentry Day/Night Surveillance
System.
Argus Sentry is ideal for paramilitary and military surveillance applications
such as border security, monitoring of oil platforms, vessel traffic management,
and aircraft detection.
Argus Sentry is a turnkey remote monitoring system that integrates Amber/Raytheon
RADIANCE infrared cameras together in weatherproof enclosures. Multiple
remote camera sites can be controlled and monitored from a central control
station via wireless communication links.
Argus Sentry provides excellent passive night vision in cold environments
as well as hot, humid climates. The detection range of the infrared camera
depends on the lens used. Background temperatures, atmospheric conditions,
clutter and object temperature can affect range.
A dual focal length lens, switchable between a 7.4 and 2.2 degree
field-of-view, is standard with Argus Sentry. Longer and shorter focal
length
lenses are also available to support other requirements.
An optional laser range finder provides the capability to overlay object
distance data on the thermal or visible video image.
