Calidus Sentinel
Calidus Sentinel – Our tandem enclosed camera platform
The Calidus Sentinel may be equipped with day/infrared cameras as the perfect solution for fulfilling missions such as search and rescue, surveillance, and inspection. Such proven equipment can track cars and read license plates from 500 ft AGL (above ground level), and effectively detect the heat signatures of the people and vehicles on the ground.
Generally the cameras are 2- or 3-axis stabilized units with 360 degrees continuous rotation capability, with digital auto video stabilization and target tracking. Optical zoom capability ranges from zero to 30 times, and most infrared systems can provide four times zoom. Equipped with the Rotax 914 UL, 915 or 916 iS engines, the Calidus Sentinel has the power needed to fulfill your task requirements.
AutoGyro recognises that different mission objectives require different cameras or on-board systems such as LIDAR scanning. With a multitude of such systems already in service, the AutoGyro advanced engineering team has the skills and knowledge to provide the systems integration needed for such applications. Talk to us about your wants and needs, and we will work with you to find the solution.
