Industrial Partner ACIC Successful Installation in Kuwait

ACIC's new beyond state-of-the-art coast surveillance system MvPanoramaDetection was successfully installed and started end of June on the Kuwait coast. MvPanoramaDetection combines ACIC well-known MvActivityDetection and sweeping thermal cameras acting like RADAR.

This project was conducted in collaboration with Videotec, the European Leader in Camera Housing, PTZ Head and Accessories. The thermal cameras are mounted on top of Videotec's Ulisse positioning unit.
