EOIR CAMERA

The EOIR camera used in the MADDOS system is an advanced dual-sensing technology that integrates electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) capabilities to provide comprehensive surveillance and tracking functionalities. This camera system is engineered to perform in various environmental conditions, offering high-resolution imaging both during the day and in low-light scenarios at night. The EO component captures high-quality, conventional video footage. At the same time, the IR element detects heat signatures, making it exceptionally effective in spotting and tracking aerial targets, such as drones, in complete darkness or through obscurants like smoke and fog.

One of the EOIR camera’s most significant benefits is its versatility. By combining optical and thermal imaging, the system ensures continuous operational readiness. Users can swiftly switch between EO and IR modes depending on their surveillance needs without losing track of the target. This feature is particularly useful for security teams in sensitive installations where drone intrusions pose significant threats.

Integrating the EOIR camera with the existing RF and Radar systems of the MADDOS platform enhances its detection capabilities. When a drone is detected by RF or radar, the camera automatically pans and tilts to the target’s location, a function known as ‘slew-to-cue.’ This seamless integration ensures that the operator can quickly engage with the target visually without manually searching for it, greatly increasing response times and situational awareness.

Key features of the MADDOS Camera include:

Automatic slew to cue: This feature ensures that the camera automatically aligns with coordinates provided by the RF or radar systems when a target is detected. It reduces the need for manual intervention, making the system efficient and responsive.
Automatic target tracking: Once a target is locked, the camera continuously tracks it across its range, regardless of the target’s movements. This is crucial for maintaining surveillance of mobile threats like drones.
Continuous zoom on both cameras: Operators can zoom in on a target for a better view without losing clarity or resolution. This feature is vital when detailed visual identification of objects is necessary.
Detection and tracking of DJI Phantom 4 from a range of 3km+: The MADDOS Camera system can detect and track small consumer drones, such as the DJI Phantom 4, from distances over three kilometers, a testament to its powerful optical capabilities.

The pan and tilt functionality of the camera system provides dynamic movement capabilities. This means the cameras can be directed to any point of interest swiftly, enabling comprehensive monitoring of a designated area. Whether the system is set up for perimeter security, event surveillance, or critical infrastructure protection, its robust design and advanced features make it an indispensable tool.

The drone tracking camera capabilities of the MADDOS Camera are tailored to meet the challenges of modern aerial threats. By integrating thermal and optical technologies with sophisticated tracking and zoom capabilities, this system provides a reliable solution for detecting and managing drone activities, ensuring security and operational effectiveness.
