Axis expands its perimeter security proposal with high-coverage intelligent radars

Axis Communications now features two innovative radars designed to cover large areas with unprecedented accuracy: the D2122-VE Radar and D2123-VE Radar models.

for years, the radars have been primarily used to monitor vehicle speed on roads. but the new generation of this technology is no longer limited to detecting vehicles: they can now enhance security in industrial environments and protect stadiums, data centers, and critical infrastructure even in complete darkness, heavy rain, or fog.

The new models D2122-VE Radar y D2123-VE Radar from Axis offer AI-based classification 24×7 and in any weather or lighting condition. Its launch responds to the growing demand for advanced perimeter security solutions in critical infrastructure environments, especially data centers and industrial facilities, as well as venues such as stadiums or large events - from football matches to music festivals- where tens of thousands of people gather.

Guillermo Lopez, Sales Engineer at Axis Communications, comments that “organizations that manage critical infrastructures or large areas cannot afford security systems that fail in darkness or bad weather conditions. Our new radars, combined with radar-video fusion technology, offer an additional layer of reliability that makes a real difference in protecting people and strategic assets”.

El radar Axis D2122-VE ofrece un campo de 180° horizontal detection, recognizes people at distances of up to 140 metros y covers areas of up to 20.000 m². El radar D2123-VE extends that coverage to 270° horizontally y until 30.000 m². Both devices integrate the ARTPEC-9 chip by Axis, which allows processing artificial intelligence directly on the device (edge computing). This local computing power facilitates simultaneous tracking of up to 100 objects (people and vehicles) in real time, without relying on the server's capacity and ensuring an instant response regardless of visibility conditions.

An eye that detects and coordinates

For your part, the radar-video fusion technology creates a data synergy where the positional accuracy of radar is combined with the visual identification capability of the camera. This allows the radar to act as the 'eye' that detects and coordinates, automatically directing a PTZ camera (panorama, tilt and zoom) hacia las coordenadas exactas del objetivo para su verificación visual inmediata. Esta capacidad de autotracking PTZ elimina la necesidad de que los operadores supervisen manualmente varias pantallas y agiliza la respuesta ante incidentes.

Also, los nuevos radares de Axis pueden incorporar la tecnología de verificación de doble impacto (double-knock verification), un enfoque de validación cruzada multicapa que requiere que tanto el radar como la analítica de vídeo de la cámara PTZ asociada confirmen de forma independiente la detección y clasificación de un objeto antes de activar una alerta para evitar falsas alarmas causadas por sombras en movimiento, reflejos de luz, rain, niebla o pequeños animales.

Compatibles con los principales sistemas de gestión de vídeo (VMS) as Axis Camera Station y soluciones de access control, la configuración puede gestionarse desde el radar o desde la cámara PTZ integrada mediante una única dirección IP y una sola licencia VMS. Su bajo consumo energético y la compatibilidad con salida PoE facilitan la instalación en entornos con infraestructura eléctrica limitada o en soluciones de videovigilancia móvil.

“Las falsas alarmas cuestan dinero, consumen recursos y provocan fatiga en los equipos de seguridad. Los nuevos radares de Axis solucionan este problema y convierten cada evento en información útil, además de reducir la complejidad de la instalación y minimizar los costes de infraestructura”, concluye López .
