FutureSentry Adds Carousel Sensor to First Responder

  • Jun 20, 2012

FutureSentry, a developer of automated detection solutions designed to enhance perimeter security, has added the FutureSentry Carousel. The advanced carousel sensor is designed to ease installation of the company’s flagship solution, the FutureSentry First Responder, and allow the system’s use in interior applications.

The FutureSentry Carousel is developed for out-of-the-box effectiveness to reduce deployment time and its close-range detection capabilities allow for it to be deployed in interior environments, such as warehouses or covered loading docks, for the first time. Complete 360-degrees of coverage is achieved through eight, fully adjustable, articulating sensor heads.

The new accessory provides a 125-foot detection radius and its hardwired design responds quickly and accurately to any threat within its eight zones. The carousel features a single connector for its entire sensor group to eliminate the need for additional programming of individual sensors. Constructed from noncorrosive, heavy-duty ABS plastic, the FutureSentry Carousel is perfect for pole-mounted and corner-mounted applications. A four-headed version is also available for wall mount applications.

“The FutureSentry Carousel opens doors for the First Responder and closes doors for potential criminals,” said Rolland Trayte, President and CEO, FutureSentry. “As the only surveillance solution designed to prevent crime rather than simplyrecord it, the First Responder has been a popular choice for outdoor perimeter applications. The addition of the carousel sensor allows users to install the best solution for crime prevention within interior environments with increased range and reliability.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
