Radar vs Infrared vs Camera Technology

In modern security applications, radar, infrared, and camera technologies each possess distinct advantages and limitations. Let's compare the characteristics of these technologies to help you make the optimal choice.

Radar Technology

LETWESAF Radar Surveillance System employs 24GHz Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar technology, enabling operation in all weather conditions and low visibility environments. Radar possesses strong penetration capabilities, detecting objects behind obstructions, making it highly suitable for outdoor applications.

Infrared Technology

Infrared monitoring systems detect the presence of objects by sensing the heat they emit, making them ideal for use in dark environments. However, infrared technology is highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations, cannot penetrate obstacles, and may generate false alarms during windy or sandy weather.

Camera Technology

Cameras represent the most common surveillance technology, monitoring through video capture. Yet cameras are susceptible to weather, lighting, and obstruction factors. Additionally, privacy concerns frequently arise due to their recording capabilities.

Compared to infrared and camera systems, radar technology holds distinct advantages in dynamic environments. It remains highly effective and reliable in complete darkness or blizzard conditions, ensuring consistent performance and safeguarding your security.
