Safely Search Rail/Truck Tankers for Drugs and Contraband Without a Confined Space Entry -- Security Today

Safely Search Rail/Truck Tankers for Drugs and Contraband Without a Confined Space Entry

May 11, 2017

The new Tanker Inspection System is a powerful tool for security teams to facilitate drug and contraband searches of rail and truck tankers. The System can expedite searches at border crossings and other known locations for smuggling while increasing the safety of the teams by eliminating the need for a confined space entry.

This uniquely-configured video pole camera system is inserted into the tanker hatch. Two horizontal stabilizer rods span the hatch and allow the pole camera to stay situated without the need for the operator to support its weight in position. The Tanker Inspection System utilizes a self-illuminating, 40X optical zoom camera positioned at a right angle on the end of a pole. The camera can rotate 360° in a horizontal plane, and the angle can be adjusted by rocking the pole on its horizontal mounting rods. Images are viewed on a 5.6” LCD display that can record live video or still images to an SD card, or transmitted via Wi-Fi to a network or Smartphone for later review.
