The VRAD warns against elevated radiation levels by displaying alarm events on the video of existing surveillance cameras. This cost-effective concept maximizes the use of existing monitoring equipment, surveillance monitoring procedures and personnel. The combination of video images along with radiation alarm information can help identify individuals or materials involved with the alarm event. The VRAD can be used with new or existing surveillance cameras and its video output can be viewed and recorded with standard video monitors/recorders.

Monitoring Applications:

High Risk Public & Private Facilities

Transportation Hubs

Large Public Venues

Radioactive Material Theft Prevention

Medical Waste Stream Monitoring

Benefits:

Detects the presence of Gamma radiation from a distance

Inexpensive to install into existing surveillance infrastructure

Minimal training required — reports to existing monitoring systems

More reliable than battery powered body worn pager style detectors

Video image can help identify alarm source

How it works: The VRAD system includes a radiation sensor and other electronics housed in a rugged, weatherproof enclosure. The unit is typically mounted in proximity to an entrance, checkpoint or other critical area. The video signal from a new or existing surveilance camera viewing the VRAD location is routed through the device and onto the existing video monitor/recorder. The VRAD displays levels and alarm information from the sensor as a video overlay on the images from the camera.
