Homeland Surveillance
Recognizing that it is not possible to secure border inch by inch through military checkpoints, it becomes mandatory to deploy intelligent video surveillance system also using radars and thermal imagers to track threats.
Mobile surveillance technology is revolutionizing surveillance reach capabilities. For large outdoor facilities such as commercial airfields, refineries, power plants, and office/industrial campuses and high-value facilities, mobile surveillance stations offer an efficient and reliable means of monitoring and control.
Our system manages powerful motion detector, tracking, overtake bottlenecks, wrong way driving, panic, excessive speed, permanence of objects and persons, camera occlusion alarms, person counting and more.
Advanced technology classifies objects into “human” and “vehicle” classes, however the system also provides a simple mechanism for custom classification algorithms to be developed for customers with more specific needs such as to distinguish humans from animals, or trucks from aircraft.
Al Fahad surveillance stations are terrestrial system to guard the terrestrial borders and remote areas were physical surveillance is not practical. Our mobile station is custom made devised with latest surveillance equipments like imaging systems, communication systems, radar systems, control systems, and vehicle systems which are remotely connected to main command center.
Physical Security
Critical assets or infrastructures are now included as part of national security programs in most countries because of the mission critical functions or services they provide to a country. The basic facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a community or society, such as communications systems, defense-industrial base, government facilities, VIP assets, nuclear power plants, certain manufacturing, emergency services, postal & shipping, dams, national monuments, water and water treatment systems, oil and natural gas facilities, dams and prisons is only a brief list of what can be protected under a national security program. A threat or an attack on any of such assets can spread far beyond the direct target, and reverberate long after the immediate damage.
The Al Fahad solution includes using surveillance systems integrated with network systems, facilities, personnel and operational procedures.
