The system features multiple target detection and is integrated with an Automatic Video Tracker (AVT).
The CEDAR System has a wide variety of applications, including but not limited to perimeter security, coastal surveillance, surveillance of sensitive facilities, border control, ground troops security and more. Some of the applications found to be most popular by international customers include the surveillance of airports, power plants, fuel storage depots, oil refineries, water reservoirs, etc. The CEDAR System has been found to be one of the most sophisticated and advanced security systems available today.
