Comm Port Technologies - Under-Vehicle Surveillance Systems (UVSSs)

If your premises require securing, install CommPort's Under-Vehicle Surveillance System (UVSS). Our UVSS solutions scan, monitor and digitally record crisp, clear digital video images of the entire width of a vehicle's undersides – all with one permanent or portable system.

The UVSS is a cost-effective and convenient solution for checking passenger vehicles, vans, buses, semi-tractor truck trailers and more at military, governmental, corporate or transportation facilities.

FLEX UVSS SERIES

The Flex series comprises the most capable UVSSs available for detecting contraband, drugs, explosives, and other objects.

Advanced digital-camera imaging and LED illumination provide clear, high-resolution video of the vehicle's underside to help detect attached packages, explosives, and other objects. For monitoring, images are processed by the first Digital Video Recorder (DVR) capable of recording four channels simultaneously and then displaying moving images in quad screen format. The UVSS DVR delivers the full picture of a vehicle's entire width for a fraction of the cost of less capable systems.

OPEN-ARCHITECTURE UVSS

Each UVSS gives you total flexibility in integrating with your security system. The open architecture means you can connect to your existing CCTV system, transmit IP video over fiber, coax, or wireless, and integrate with Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) and driver image-capture cameras. The system can be configured with motion detection so that you only record 'live' events.

With the UVSS, you can view the entire length of the vehicle in real-time and full color. There is no waiting (as there is for line-scan systems), and no need for an expensive image-processing computer.

HIGH-RESOLUTION UVSS CAMERAS

High-resolution color cameras provide clear, sharp images. Bright 10,000lm LED-based lighting illuminates the vehicle's undercarriage so details aren't lost in shadows, and with the ability to place cameras anywhere along the length of the ramp, wheel wells and other details are easy to capture.

Our cameras also feature a tough, scratchproof, user-replaceable 4mm sapphire lens.

GALVANIZED STEEL RAMPS

Our heavy-duty, low-profile galvanized steel ramps have a 48t capacity and are designed to withstand harsh environments, rugged terrain and extreme temperatures. Likewise, cameras and lighting are in encased in sturdy, weatherproof housings.

LEDs offer the most reliable, low-heat light source available, with a typical life of over 100,000 hours. LEDs are preferred to halogen lamps because of their significantly longer life and lower heat-generation.

Since there are no areas for water to gather, there are no special drainage requirements or special cleaning equipment required. Each system is backed with a two-year warranty, and the rugged camera modules have twelve high-brightness LEDs built-in.

PERMANENT AND PORTABLE GALVANIZED STEEL RAMPS

Our portable galvanized steel ramps are installed by simply laying the ramp in the inspection areas with some traffic cones around it. They come with a galvanized steel plate to cover and protect the cables that go to the portable monitoring station.

Permanent versions can be field-installed by one person in less than one hour. There are no pits to dig and no major construction required.

A CUSTOMIZABLE UVSS

The Flex series gives you the building blocks to configure your UVSS to exactly suit your application. The system uses 1ft-wide sections; each section can contain a camera or light module.

You can build a UVSS that is as wide or narrow as you require, and equip it with as many cameras and light modules as needed to give you the total picture.
