Subsonic Acoustic Reinforcement Speaker - Low Frequency 'Subwoffer' Device.
Provides situational awareness, a small, completely portable, hand
held, low-cost device providing very reliable detection of any human movement.
In the image above, the SENTRY PROBE technology is retrofitted
into a DeWALT flashlight to provide a rugged enclosure and recharging system,
to survive rough handling for long life. Seen on the top is a Sonalert beeper
which enunciates detected movement. Movement generates very distinctive sound
which is automatically interpreted as movement easily heard even in noisy situations.
The unit is battery operated, operating reliably for many hours without a
recharge. It may be hand-held, placed on the ground, mounted on a pole for
scanning high places or extended into places that are hazardous, mounted on a
robot, or may be mounted on a dish for distant probing and penetrating
substantial buildings and multiple walls even through foliage.
See additional images below…
SENTRY PROBE uses microwave Doppler RADAR. A computer running RADAR
PC may be used optionally connected to the external connector. It is a
stand-alone electronic device to detect motion through most doors, walls, and
foliage both in direct contact with the surface of interest or at a distance.
This detection is reported as a sound that allows the users to instantly know
if any movement occurs in the field of the Illuminator.
One important feature, the user is alerted instantly to any movement
without watching or seeing the area of interest. The movement is turned into
sound so the user does not have to watch a tiring video screen or peer through
binoculars in surveillance situations. The sound may be easily adjusted to
continuously report movement with extreme sensitivity or be silent and only
make sound when there is movement, as an alarm would, and may silently trigger
cameras for recording movement in sensitive areas.
If your job requires you to breach doors to apprehend suspects or
process a warrant, knowing if there is any movement behind a door, wall, or
foliage may be of interest. If you need to detect movement in sensitive areas
or through entry points SENTRY PROBE can
warn you if there is any movement.
Tactical Teams can use SENTRY PROBE to prevent dangerous surprises in sensitive
situations. Barricade and Hostage situations may be managed to provide the Tactical
Team real-time awareness of the movement of perpetrators and occupants inside
the building of interest. SENTRY PROBE allows the user to reliably characterize the movement out of sight
providing additional situational awareness unobtainable in any other way:
RADAR
PC©
Applications include: Anti -Terrorist Surveillance, Traffic Engineering,
Traffic Control, Military Surveillance, Police Surveillance, Vehicle Tolling,
Airport Runway & Tar macadam Monitoring and Security, Sports Activity,
Crowd Counter & Monitoring, Security Systems, Scientific Test &
Measurement, Animal Control, Personal and Home Security, Chronic Meteorological
Activity Measurement, Assembly line Monitor.
Also in development is a Server version that will allow IP Web-Based monitoring
in real time.
RADAR PC offers an inexpensive alternative to those expensive existing dash
units and handheld RADAR guns. May be used in Police and Surveillance Vehicles
equipped with an existing PC by mounting the inconspicuous RADAR module on or in
the Vehicle. More than one illuminator may be used at a time allowing the
monitoring of multiple targets at once. It may also be used while the vehicle
is moving at full speed and display the speed of oncoming and approaching
traffic. Very useful for movement or motion detection and recording at a
distance, even movement inside buildings.
Unlike high-priced stand alone RADAR systems that are not easy to use or apply,
they are for long range uses and not for close-in applications of a few hundred
feet. Since there are millions of PCs out there, RADAR PC allows a PC owner to
do something with his or her PC that no one else has yet offered. The RADAR PC
is a new and original peripheral for the PC. Usual peripherals are keyboard,
mouse, printer, speakers, etc. RADAR PC allows the PC to display and record
movement. Constantly vigilant, a PC can be used to record movement, allowing
new and unique uses for the PC.
The RADAR PC allows the user to observe and record movement, any movement, with
its speed. You might ask "So What?" Since I have set up my unit, I
can see and hear all the automobile and foot traffic in my neighborhood while I
am in my house. The PC's speaker lets me hear the illuminator also. This is a
non-visual queue that I can hear anywhere in the house or yard. By turning up
the volume on the speaker I can hear if any person or car enters my
neighborhood. I can see if the car is speeding and which direction it is going.
The RADAR PC displays and records rain events - when it begins and when it
ends. I can see and hear if it was still raining without leaving my bed.
