Radar: a technology at the service of vision
Radar technology revolutionizes both traffic management and security systems with its versatility and precision. In road applications, radar systems detect vehicle movement, providing real-time data for congestion management, speed control, and collision prevention. They offer superior performance in adverse weather conditions compared to other sensors. In security systems, radar serves as a robust surveillance tool, detecting intrusions, monitoring perimeters, and tracking objects with high precision, even in low visibility conditions. Its ability to operate day and night, penetrating obstacles such as fog and darkness, makes radar indispensable for safeguarding critical infrastructure and public safety, ensuring effective monitoring and response capabilities.

Reduction of false alarms in Radar + CCTV security systems
Radar technology has numerous advantages in reducing false alarms in CCTV video analysis. First, radar systems can accurately detect and track objects, distinguishing between humans, vehicles and other moving entities with high precision. This specificity minimizes false alarms triggered by non-threatening factors such as animals or environmental conditions.
Additionally, the radar’s ability to operate in various weather conditions, including rain, fog and darkness, ensures consistent performance, reducing the likelihood of false alarms due to weather-induced disturbances. Additionally, radar can complement CCTV systems by providing additional context and verification of detected events, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the surveillance system and minimizing false alarms.

Accuracy in speed detection in traffic systems
Radar technology offers numerous advantages and precise functionalities for detecting vehicle speed on the road. Firstly, radar systems provide accurate and real-time speed measurements, enabling law enforcement and traffic management authorities to effectively enforce speed limits and deter excessive speeding behaviors. The radar’s precision allows for reliable identification of individual vehicles and their speeds, even in heavy traffic conditions.
Furthermore, radar devices can operate remotely, allowing for non-intrusive speed monitoring without requiring direct interaction with vehicles, ensuring the safety of both motorists and law enforcement personnel. Overall, radar technology’s ability to provide precise speed measurements rapidly contributes to improving road safety and promoting compliance with traffic regulations.
Technologies behind the Vigilate radar
FMCW
FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) technology uses continuous wave radar with modulated frequencies for precise distance and speed measurements, commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.
60 Ghz
Radar operating at the 60 GHz frequency offers advantages such as improved resolution for target detection, reduced interference from other radar systems, and better penetration in certain weather conditions such as rain and fog
Beam forming
Radar beamforming is a technique in which multiple antenna elements work together to focus radio waves in specific directions. By adjusting the phase and amplitude of signals, beamforming improves radar performance, enabling precise targeting, increased signal strength, and improved spatial resolution for accurate object detection and tracking.
MIMO 3tx 4rx
MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology in the radar with 3 transmit antennas and 4 receive antennas enables greater spatial diversity and multipath exploitation., improving radar performance by increasing the coverage area, improving target detection and reducing interference for more precise and reliable detection capabilities.
