The surveillance system provided by WWSI employs two imaging techniques: video cameras with extended IR sensitivity that can be used with invisible, low cost IR lighting and thermal imaging cameras that can operate in total darkness. The extended IR cameras provide superb video and include a 72X zoom for extreme close-ups. Their operation in very low light is excellent without illumination, but is vastly improved by companion IR illuminators that can provide around 600 feet of illumination in a 300-degree pattern. The thermal imagers can resolve a person at about a kilometer distance in total darkness without illumination of any kind.

The system is entirely IP based and can be deployed using any combination of copper, fiber, or encrypted radio connectivity. Choices will depend upon distances, topography, security, and current infrastructure. The system architecture provides very high system security and immunity to single point failures and sabotage.

The system is completely scaleable. Any number of cameras of any type can be added or moved as needed. The open TCP-IP architecture makes it possible to add new functions as they are developed.
