Extreme Range Active IR illumination
Ascendent's Zoom Laser IR Diode modules combine laser diode technology, quality optics and sophisticated electronics to provide invisible IR illumination at extreme ranges. Ascendent's LIDZ technology synchronizes IR intensity and area illumination with motorized zoom for flawless active IR performance absolutely eliminating over exposure     and hot spots. Dual ASC- LIR4000Ms illuminate up to 10km classification level performance in complete darkness with Ascendent's imaging equipment.

Industry Leading Performance
The Sigma Series' integrated, twin, continuous- wave laser diodes dramatically surpass the traditional IR LED technology of  Active IR by offering distances over 2km .   It utilizes specially designed CCD image devices and IR corrected filters and optics to intensify light on an electronic level.   This in tandem with the dual laser diodes allow the Terra Series to achieve night vision in complete darkness up to 8km +26,000ft.  This is over 250% of its closest competitor and is the first active IR camera to achieve distances over 3km.  The Terra Series offers significant advantages over thermal imaging by producing images with up to 500% higher resolution.  Active IR also has the ability to go through windows and other optically pure substances at night allowing it to be used for both recognition and identification.

Long Range Zoom Optics
IR optimized optics for 24/7 long range surveillance up to 60,000Ft (20KM) by day and
24,0000Ft (8KM) in 0lux (complete darkness) while maintaining excellent clarity.
Makes it the choice for homeland security, critical infrastructure and military logistics
world wide. Comes with a variety of lens sizes from a 10~330mm to a 500~5000mm to suite any application

Superior image quality
The Sigma series incorporates highly tuned EMCCD imaging equipment that is optimized for long range surveillance to render superb detail rich color by day. While At night or 0lux environments the Terra series intensifies IR light on an electron level while eliminating glare from visible light rendering clean crisp monochrome images to Capture minute details at great distances for  24/7 indisputable  identification  resulting in the  prosecution of  trespassing parties.

Anti-Blooming
Ascendent IRBF blocks visible light emitted from streetlights, and other bright sources from (380-800nm) while increasing sensitivity to IR and laser illuminators (840-870NM).  In tandem with are DNR, and 50DB eliminates, blooming, streaking and video noise, and other complications usually associative with IR imaging. Allowing it to overcome virtually any ambient lighting environment including fog, city, waves, complete darkness ect.

True 24/7 operation
The Sigma series PTZ is a true 24/7 surveillance solution with viewing distances up to 60,000Ft (20km)   by day and 24,000ft (8km) at night. Endless 360 degree PTZ driver allows it to pan tilt and zoom with micro-step technology for quick accurate manual control or automatic operation via intelligent video analytics for flawless uncompromising 24/7 operation.

Longevity and Reliability
The Sigma series is comprised of high quality components precision engineered for unparalleled performance and real ability.  The heavy duty PTZ driver implements brush-less motor technology for endless 360 degree panning And tilting in increments as low as .01 degree. The ASC-500MIRF has an industry leading MFTB of 100,000 IR lifetime.  The lasers have an MFTB of 10,000 hours 5x longer then the leader competitor.

Flexible
The Sigma series is more then simply a long range camera is an complete security management solution that uses IP, analog and megapixel cameras for hybrid operation to for limitless camera options. Not only a CCTV management solution it can also integrate with access control, radar detection and sensors to streamline and increase efficiency of all security systems.  These systems can be controlled via wires or wireless networks to effetely control the system up to 500KM away in a LAN network if they have sufficient privileges to do so.

Cost Effective
As mentioned above the Sigma series has the ability to effectively synchronize, CCTV, Sensors, Access control, allowing all essential security control to be performed unsung only one system which significantly reduces training and personal requirements  .  To further enhance cost savings the Terra Series allow the system to take advantage of prior security investments and upgrade existing CCTV cameras, sensors and accesses control  to provide an affordable solution without compromising performance.

Unmanned Operation
The Sigma series PTZ is designed for unmanned operation, sensors can be set to send telemetry to the PTZ when activated to automatically focus where perimeter has been breached. Additionally integrated AVA automatically acquires license plate, facial details, and track intruders for absolute premier control.  AVA’s intelligent object detection/tracking /classification and video analysis is control by user specified parameters for accurate unmanned 24/7 operation.

Intelligent Video (AVA)
AVA (Ascendent Video Analytics) is an innovative
product that overcomes the constraints of traditional
CCTV monitoring systems. It boasts a180° panoramic display  that allows
monitoring of a wide area without blind spots by using 5-8 fixed cameras with an Sigma PTZ that optically zooms, and acquires identifying details such as license plate or face. All these events are recorded using a proprietary, self-contained video/event database engine that can easily be accesses by a graphical easy to use interface. Unlike other video analytics does not use  external DBMSs such as MS-SQL, MS-Access, the recording/search/ playback/export can be performed based on events as well as time.
