IP68+ Ultra Rugged All-Weather MilSpec System: The M9 is built to withstand extreme environmental conditions commonly encountered in border security operations. Its rugged design ensures reliable performance in harsh weather, including extreme temperatures, moisture, dust, and vibrations. The IP68+ rating guarantees protection against dust ingress and the ability to withstand immersion in water beyond one meter.
Variety of User C2 Control Interfaces: The M9 supports a variety of user command and control (C2) interfaces, including Video Management Systems (VMS), IP connectivity, and fiber optic connections. These interfaces allow seamless integration with existing border security systems and enable real-time monitoring, data analysis, and remote control of the camera system.

SD VGA or HD High Definition Sensor Selections: The M9 provides flexibility in sensor options, offering either SD VGA (640 x 512) or HD High Definition SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution sensors. This allows border security operators to choose the appropriate sensor based on their specific requirements, whether it is for broader coverage or higher-resolution imagery.

Continuous Zoom with Effective 100mm-1500mm F4 Lenses: The M9 features continuous zoom capabilities, allowing operators to adjust the focal length within the range of 100mm to 1500mm. The coated, hardened Germanium lenses ensure clear and sharp imagery even at high magnification levels. This enables border security personnel to closely monitor and identify objects or activities along the border over significant distances.
Latest Cooled MWIR Long-Range Thermal Imaging

Cameras: The M9 incorporates the latest cooled Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) thermal imaging cameras. These cameras are specifically designed for long-range imaging and provide superior thermal sensitivity and image clarity. The MWIR technology allows border security personnel to detect and track heat signatures, even in challenging conditions such as low light or adverse weather.

Long-Range 20km 1550nm LRF Laser Range Finder: The M9 is equipped with a long-range 20km Laser Range Finder (LRF) operating at a wavelength of 1550nm. This LRF enables precise distance measurements to targets along the border, aiding in target acquisition, situational awareness, and effective deployment of border security resources.

Long-Range HD SWIR Imaging Camera Channels: The M9 incorporates Long-Range High-Definition Short-Wave Infrared (HD SWIR) imaging camera channels. SWIR imaging allows for enhanced visibility through haze, fog, or other atmospheric obstructions. It provides valuable additional information for border surveillance and identification, including the detection of concealed objects or individuals.

Gyro-Stabilization and Smooth Pan/Tilt: The M9 features gyro-stabilization technology, which ensures steady and stable imagery even in the presence of external vibrations or motion. It also offers smooth pan (360° continuous rotation) and tilt (180° travel) capabilities, enabling border security operators to precisely position and track targets along the border.

Extraordinary Long Life Cryo Coolers: The M9 incorporates cryo coolers with an extraordinary lifespan of 40,000+ hours. These ultra-reliable coolers provide consistent and efficient cooling for the camera system’s sensitive components, ensuring optimal performance and longevity even in demanding operational environments.

The M9’s application in border security offers comprehensive surveillance, monitoring, and situational awareness capabilities. Its ruggedness, advanced imaging sensors, long-range capabilities, and integrated features like laser range finders and SWIR channels enhance border security forces’ ability to detect and respond to potential threats, monitor border activities, and ensure the integrity of national borders.
