Hydra™
Hydra™ enhances the power of Thermal Radar™ by integrating a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera into a single, intelligent surveillance solution. While Thermal Radar™ continuously scans the environment for intrusions and fire events, Hydra™ automatically directs the PTZ camera to detected threats, providing immediate visual verification and enhanced situational awareness.
By combining wide-area thermal detection with targeted optical surveillance, Hydra™ enables security teams to quickly assess events, verify threats, and make informed response decisions. The system continuously monitors designated areas of interest while advanced analytics evaluate detections and issue automatic slew-to-cue commands when qualifying activity is identified.
The result is a highly effective solution that provides both continuous thermal coverage and on-demand visual intelligence without requiring operators to manually control cameras or search for targets.
Compatible with Thermal Radar™ 3-Series and 6-Series platforms, Hydra™ integrates with many leading PTZ camera manufacturers and can be incorporated into existing Video Management Systems (VMS) and security operations workflows.
