Hanwha Vision and Navtech Radar have combined technologies to deliver a unified perimeter protection system that differentiates itself from conventional solutions through deep integration of long-range radar detection with intelligent PTZ video surveillance. The solution aims to deliver continuous situational awareness and automated threat validation across large, complex sites while reducing operational costs and reliance on dense sensor networks.
How the Integrated System Works
The core of the new solution is the integration between Navtech Radar’s AdvanceGuard platform and Hanwha Vision’s PTZ PLUS camera range, including models such as the XNP-6400RW and XNP-C6403RW. AdvanceGuard uses high-resolution, 360-degree radar capable of detecting movement across a radius of up to 5 km per sensor. This wide-area radar coverage operates reliably in darkness and adverse weather conditions, addressing limitations of traditional perimeter sensors that may struggle under the same conditions.
When the radar detects an intrusion that violates predefined rules, the system automatically cues the associated PTZ camera with precise coordinates, enabling real-time visual tracking without manual operator intervention. This automated workflow accelerates threat verification and reduces the manpower typically required to monitor extensive perimeters. Because radar accurately identifies the location of potential threats first, the system can maintain comprehensive coverage with fewer cameras, lowering both upfront investment and ongoing maintenance.
Operational Efficiency and Intelligent Analytics
Beyond basic detection and tracking, the Hanwha Vision cameras incorporate advanced artificial intelligence features designed to improve operator efficiency and reduce false positives. Built-in analytics classify objects as people or vehicles and filter out irrelevant motion such as shadows or wildlife, which reduces unnecessary alerts and limits operator fatigue. The system also supports forensic search capabilities for post-event analysis, enabling security teams to quickly locate footage of specific people or vehicles. Additional analytics functions—such as line crossing, area intrusion, loitering, and object appearance/disappearance detection—further enhance monitoring effectiveness across sensitive zones.
Differentiation From Competing Technologies
This integration stands apart from many traditional perimeter security approaches by combining the strengths of radar and video in an automated and rules-based framework. Radar provides uninterrupted detection in all weather and lighting conditions and can track an unlimited number of targets across wide areas, features that outperform many sensor-only or camera-only systems. When paired with AI-enabled video analytics, the result is a solution that reduces false alarms, improves situational awareness, and cuts down on the volume of operator intervention required.
In contrast to systems that depend on dense camera arrays or manual PTZ control, the Hanwha Vision and Navtech Radar integration emphasizes scalable coverage with fewer devices and automated responses that link detection directly to visual confirmation. These combined capabilities are particularly suited to environments such as airports, ports, energy facilities, and other critical infrastructure where large perimeters and complex activity patterns demand high levels of reliability and operational efficiency.
In summary, by unifying radar detection with intelligent camera tracking and analytics, this integrated perimeter security solution offers enhanced situational awareness, streamlined operations, and differentiated performance compared with traditional surveillance strategies.
