FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SSR Engineering, Inc. Adds Support for Quickset Camera
Mounts to the Camera Manager
Anaheim, CA – May 20,
2005 – SSR Engineering, Inc. greatly improves the
ability to provide high quality camera video of ships
transiting a port, canal, or along the coast by
utilizing Quickset Camera mounts to position Long Range
Infrared and Optical Cameras. The primary function of
the Camera Manager is to automatically control cameras
to follow a Composite Track as the corresponding ship
moves throughout an area. The Camera Manager can also
be used to point the Cameras to specific geographic
locations on an Electronic Chart display.
At the heart of the
system is SSR Engineering’s innovative PC based Radar
Processor (PC-RP™) that provides Radar Surveillance
within a port as well as Long Range Coverage. Other
components include the Composite Tracker, Remote Display
Operator Position (RDOP™), and the Camera Manager.
These same products are used throughout the United
States in numerous government installations to provide
Port Security, Homeland Security,
Coastal Surveillance, and Vessel Traffic Systems
(VTS).
The PC-RP is a Commercial
Off The Shelf (COTS) Radar Processor capable of
interfacing with virtually any Military or Commercial
Radar. Since the PC-RP is based on standard PC
hardware, it provides a cost effective solution that
greatly reduces long term maintenance costs. The
ability to utilize a standard network to distribute the
Radar Data from a remote site to a control center
simplifies the installation and use of the system.
The Composite Tracker
correlates Automated Identification System (AIS) data,
Radar data from all Radars, and a variety of other
sensors to produce an integrated Composite Track that is
maintained throughout an entire coverage area.
An Operations Center
typically utilizes SSR Engineering’s RDOP as the
Graphical User Interface (GUI) to monitor and control
the system. The RDOP presents a complete view of an
area and can include a Dual Headed Display to
simultaneously monitor Radar Data and Chart Data as well
as the corresponding Camera Video Data.
