This month, we delivered some fifty units to our partner specializing in stand-alone surveillance kiosks for the protection of ultra-sensitive sites.

Designed for observation points simply placed on the ground in the middle of nature, the surveillance systems intelligently combine solar, chemical and battery energy resources to power camera(s), transmission and analysis box in 24/7 mode. Jaguar analysis units, designed to operate in “Extended Voltage” mode, support voltages ranging from 24 V to 9 V, enabling them to adapt to the highly variable conditions of the on-board electrical network. Analysis is performed on one or two cameras, placed on the mast stabilized by the system's weight, depending on the topology of the surveillance point, and any alarms are transmitted by encrypted wireless network to a central supervisor. All the observation points form a watertight belt, like the one set up with wired cameras on masts around a site to close off a perimeter and secure it.

It's the regular updating of systems, to install cyber patches, new OSs and update software, which could prove cumbersome, requiring either very long network sessions via OTA, or lengthy computer maneuvers directly on the equipment to update it, maneuvers which would be ill-suited in the middle of the bush, at the perimeter of sites, and potentially in contact with hostile forces. The delivery of boxes in this way has enabled a stock of exchange boxes to be built up, enabling a series of new boxes to be prepared in the laboratory with the configurations of those covering a perimeter, but with updates, and to be exchanged rapidly, devoting only a handful of minutes to each piece of equipment, to stop operation in progress, remove the box in place, install the replacement and restart. The operation is fast and unobtrusive, and the boxes thus recovered become the future replacement boxes for the next intervention.
