Solving the Wind and Vibration Problem
How SightLogix’s Dual Stabilization System Keeps Security Detection Rock-Solid
The Challenge of Camera Movement in Outdoor Security
Outdoor cameras face unique challenges. Cameras mounted on poles naturally shake in wind, while vibrations from traffic, rail lines, or airports create constant movement. When the entire field of view moves due to camera shake, video analytics can’t distinguish between legitimate movement (an actual intruder) and false movement (camera motion).
How SightLogix’s Dual Stabilization System Works
SightLogix SightSensors automatically choose the most effective stabilization method based on current conditions:
Image-Based Stabilization: Uses visual features in the scene—buildings, fence lines, terrain—as reference points to electronically cancel camera movement. Highly accurate when visual details are distinct.
Gyro-Based Stabilization: When visual features aren’t available (fog, rain, low-contrast scenes), internal gyroscopic sensors detect physical movement in three dimensions and electronically compensate before analytics are applied.
Automatic Adaptation: The system continuously evaluates conditions and seamlessly switches between methods, ensuring optimal accuracy regardless of weather or environmental challenges.
Why Stabilization Happens Before Detection
SightLogix processes video stabilization first—before any detection algorithms are applied. This ensures 100% of the camera’s high-resolution thermal data (120 Mb/sec of uncompressed video) is stabilized before analysis. By electronically removing camera movement at the outset, detection algorithms can focus entirely on identifying genuine threats.
Real-World Impact and Competitive Advantage
The Dual Stabilization System delivers measurable improvements:
- Wind Resistance: Maintains accuracy in high-wind conditions
- Vibration Immunity: Performs reliably near traffic, railways, airports
- Reduced False Alarms: Eliminates nuisance alerts from camera movement
Many competing thermal cameras lack onboard stabilization and “can miss alerts or trigger false alarms, especially at distance.” This advantage is particularly important for long-range detection at 300+ meters.
Critical Applications
SightLogix’s Dual Stabilization System proves particularly valuable in coastal facilities with constant wind, transportation hubs with ground vibration, industrial sites, vehicle and rail bridges, open perimeters, and critical infrastructure requiring reliable detection.
The Bottom Line
Wind and vibration aren’t occasional problems—they’re constant challenges that can render security systems ineffective. SightLogix’s Dual Stabilization System solves this through intelligent engineering that automatically adapts to environmental conditions, ensuring detection accuracy remains high regardless of weather or environmental factors.
For security professionals protecting critical assets, this means confidence that perimeter detection will perform when it matters most—even when the wind is blowing.
