The Dutch Ministry of Defence (Ministerie van Defensie) has announced the purchase of 51 mobile radar systems designed to detect drones. The contract was signed with Robin Radar Systems. These advanced radars can identify small drones and distinguish them from other objects, such as birds. A key feature of these radars is their ability to operate while in motion, mounted on a mobile platform. Later this year, the Ministry will donate these systems to Ukraine. The mobile radars are capable of monitoring their surroundings for the presence of drones, even while moving at high speeds. This mobility makes it more difficult for adversaries to locate and neutralize the radars, allowing for continuous detection and targeting of enemy drones.

Active deterrence technology is a crucial #technology applied in surveillance systems, providing comprehensive security protection through the integrated application of lighting, alarms, and two-way audio. Firstly, the application of lighting enables #cameras to automatically illuminate when potential intruders are detected, providing additional illumination. This not only helps cameras capture clearer #images but also attracts the attention of bystanders, effectively deterring potential intruders. #Alarm settings are triggered upon detecting intrusion, emitting alarm sounds to quickly draw attention, either scaring off intruders or alerting nearby personnel, further enhancing security awareness. Meanwhile, the two-way audio feature is a highlight of the camera, allowing monitoring personnel to engage in real-time communication with potential intruders through the camera's speaker, issuing warnings or inquiries, directly intervening in intrusion events, thereby enhancing security #measures. The combination of these features enables active deterrence cameras to promptly detect potential threats and take appropriate measures, effectively dealing with intruders. Therefore, active deterrence cameras are not only a security measure but also an effective tool for #crime prevention. #Homaxi #Security #intrustion #Protection #Surveillance #SecurityIndustry #Surveillance #VideoSurveillance #Technology #SirenAlarm #Homaxi #Security #SmartDualI #Innovation #Protection #InnovationUnleashed #Activedeterrence

Why Iridium became the satellite of choice for Nupoint’s global remote monitoring solution In 2011, Nupoint's founding partners initiated the research and development of a robust satellite camera tailored for operation in remote and challenging environments. Back then, this idea was groundbreaking and innovative. Although climate change was not a new concept at the time, many were unaware of its significant threat, and few acknowledged the necessity of capturing images from distant locales. #climatechangemonitoring #satellitecameras #satellitemonitoringsystems #wildfiremonitoring #globalwarmingmonitoring #iridiumsatellitenetwork #remoteenvironmentalmonitoring https://lnkd.in/gsCaFzC4

THE WORLD'S FIRST COMPUTER MANUAL 🖥 📕 BINAC - or Eckert-Mauchly's Binary Automatic Computer - wasn't (quite) the world's first electronic computer, but it was the first to be sold commercially. Previous machines hadn't needed a manual, as they were operated by their inventors and engineers, but here was a computer that was intended to be used by non-specialist aircraft technicians. How were they supposed to know what to do with this new-fangled contraption? How could the workings of this wonder machine be communicated? An unsung genius named Joseph Chapline came up with the answer. Using contemporary motoring manuals as his model, he created the first ever computer manual which, in its clarity and simplicity, has a stood as a template for technical communication ever since - a significant if overlooked step forward in the progress of computers as a technology for the general population. Only one BINAC was ever built. The manual was never published, and there is no record of how many were printed. This is the only known copy of the earliest version of the manual. As a record of the operation of BINAC and as an example of scientific writing, it is a twentieth century landmark.
