About the Sentry II

The FLIR Sentry II provides 24-hour, continuous surveillance as either a mobile or fixed-site installation surveillance camera system.

The Sentry II is a compact, durable, multi sensor infrared system that operates with low power consumption and includes FLIR's leading microbolometer uncooled detector technology and daylight TV zoom camera. Night vision will never compare to the power of thermography in FLIR's thermal cameras.

Commercially Developed, Military Qualified (CDM):
Developed under the U.S. Air Force TASS (Tactical Automated Security System) program, Sentry II delivers optimum surveillance in all weather conditions including rain, snow, fog, and extreme heat and cold. As a military-qualified, commercially off-the-shelf (COTS) product, Sentry II is sealed to protect against sand, dust, and corrosion. Sentry II includes a new dual field-of-view thermal imager that allows operators to see at longer distances with a 5 degree narrow field of view, recognize more detail, and react quicker to security threats. People and vehicles appear as high-contrast targets against the background, even when hidden in darkened areas. This can also be applied to homeland security and is perfect for border patrol applications.

Flexible System Architectures and Deployment Options:
Choose from the widest range of system deployments available: Standalone single system operation using the standard Joystick Control Unit (JCU); embedded menu selectable serial command protocol support for TASS ICD 001, Pelco-D; and standard FLIR 5XO. Sentry II is fully backwards compatible with all existing Sentry 1 and WSTI system configurations.

Video Over IP Capability:
Sentry II has an optional, fully integrated internal ThermoVision Nexus System Architecture, enabling connectivity to emerging IP based standards and system architectures. The built-in ThermoVision Nexus option provides two streaming MPEG video outputs and full function remote control over the network connection.

Dual FOV optics, Continuous 360° Slewing:
Dual fields of view provide operators with FLIR's Layered Situational Awareness (LSA) capability for improved visual threat assessment. Electronic zoom, freeze frame, and image processing enhances target recognition assessment. Histogram equalization ensures optimal image quality, and selectable color palettes enhance target discrimination.

An integrated pan/tilt drive provides variable speed, continuous 360° slewing. A stowed position capability encloses the lens and protects sensitive optics when the camera is not being utilized. The system quickly starts up from "sleep" mode and is ready for immediate use.
