~Discreet sensor combines self-learning
analytics with impulse radar technology for up to 99% accurate
detection of a person~
VANCOUVER, CANADA,
June 19, 2017
/CNW/ - Avigilon Corporation
("Avigilon") (TSX: AVO), provider of trusted security
solutions, today announced it will preview the new Avigilon
Presence Detector at IFSEC 2017.
The Avigilon Presence Detector (APD) is a sensor that
combines self-learning analytics with impulse radar technology to
accurately detect the presence of a person even if they have
stopped moving or are hidden. This sensor is designed for indoor
locations such as ATM rooms and other closed indoor vestibules
within banks, pharmacies, health care facilities and retail stores,
and can accurately detect a person's presence through blankets,
cardboard, wood and drywall.
"Customers such as financial institutions face challenges
in maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for their patrons,"
said James Henderson, Avigilon's
Chief Operating Officer. "By accurately detecting and alerting
security operators of events such as a person hiding or sleeping in
an unwanted location, the APD provides an exceptional solution for
maintaining safe and secure operations."
With a small and discreet design the APD can be hidden
above ceiling panels or behind interior walls. Available in
surface, corner or wall mount options it uses standard IP security
camera infrastructure and cabling, making installation fast and
easy. The indoor impulse radar sensor, combined with self-learning
analytics, scans and learns the environment, continuously adapting
to reduce false positive events, providing extremely high accuracy
in detecting the presence of a person at distances up to 9 meters
from the sensor.
"The launch of the APD marks an important milestone in
Avigilon's development of new IoT driven security solutions," said
Mahesh Saptharishi, Avigilon's Chief
Technology Officer. "The combination of sophisticated radar and
analytics technology helps to solve the challenge of accurate human
presence detection in constrained indoor areas where traditional
devices may be limited."
The APD is expected to be available for order in the third
quarter of this year.
