What Is A RADAR System?
Radar stands for “Radio-Based Detection And Ranging”. This system was first demonstrated back in 1935 in Great Britain and went on to become synonymous with military applications, to this very day.
It’s only in recent years that radar has been successfully adapted for civilian use; Providing incredibly effective and reliable detection for advanced security systems.
Magos Radars
Using cutting-edge technology combined with ultra-low power consumption and a small form factor, Magos has created an incredibly efficient and effective radar system for security detection purposes.
Most people would not recognise the unassuming white box as a security device and fewer would believe that it was a self-contained radar system with a range of up to 1000 metres for vehicles, boats or human movement.
This system is nearly impervious to the most extreme environments and weather conditions but boasts outstanding performance in detection and pre-detection.
It can be fully integrated with most existing security systems to trigger actions when a threat is detected. This may include live camera feeds, alarms, sirens and lighting.
Let’s look at this mighty system and its applications to see if it’s a system that could benefit your security.
Key Statistics For The Magos Radar System:
-
- The effective range is 1000 metres (0.62 miles).
- This range includes the detection of motor vehicles, boats and people.
- Area coverage range from 23,500m² (6 acres) to 810,000m² (200 acres).
- Works on land, sea and open-air environments.
- Ultra-low power consumption. (PoE 802.31f Type 1)
- Ethernet communication interface (with a low comms bandwidth of under 100kbps).
- C-Band Frequency.
- Total protection from weather & environment.
- NEMA-6, IP67 environmental rating.
- 100% protection from dust.
- Protected against the effects of temporary immersion between 15cm and 1m. (30-minute test duration.)
- Operating Temperature of -40° to +85°
- High-resolution MIMO digital beam-forming radar.
- POE (Power-Over-Ethernet) interface.
- Range resolution of less than 1 metre.
- Angle resolution lower than 0.7°.
- Wide coverage of up to 120° x 30°.
- Near-perfect detection regardless of environment, clutter or weather conditions.
Applications for Civilian Radar:
The Magos radar system is already widely used across the globe but lesser-known in the United Kingdom.
Its effectiveness and reliability make it ideal for the following applications:
- Agricultural locations and farms.
- Airports & airfields.
- Aquatic sites.
- Correctional facilities & prisons.
- Data centres.
- Parking lots.
- Power plants.
- Renewable energy sites.
- Seaports, docks & marinas.
- Substations.
- Water treatments plants.
The Magos radar system can provide incredible levels of detection in almost any external environment or wide, open space.
Negating cluttered objects and weather conditions, this detection system is able to determine movement and identify threats before they happen, allowing immediate action to be taken.
It can be fully integrated with an existing system or form the backbone of any detection system designed from the ground up.
