For all those in charge of ad hoc event security, there’s something powerful in store for you, small in price that delivers huge peace of mind.
Event security personnel have a lot to consider from big-ticket items to the smallest of details. Everything from planning the where, when and what, to access control, screening and inspections, training, communications, procedures, and to what power is available.
Wait – no power readily at hand? Good news. That’s no problem.
Operating with a limited training budget and a staff with different levels of technological proficiency? Advanced Detection Technology has that covered too, and more.

No Strings Attached
Advanced Detection Technology, a Platinum Award Winner in the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, just introduced the first-ever, battery-powered under vehicle inspection system (UVIS) for use during ad hoc situations to help security personnel be more situationally aware in whatever scenario they might find themselves.
The LowCam® VI100 “No Strings Attached” UVIS – touting no cables and no cords, not to mention a self-contained battery and military-grade equipment – lets you take this level of improvised security with you.
Easy and quick set up allows customers to use the system within minutes, without specialized personnel, wherever and whenever they need it.
Special events or locations that may warrant improvised security may include:
-
School events, including sports, concerts, parent/teacher conferences, or school plays
-
Emergency management locations, such as law enforcement or hospitals
-
Professional sporting events, such as golf or tennis
-
Churches / Houses of worship
-
Political gatherings
-
Speaking events
-
Charity events
-
Concerts
Situational Awareness When You Need It
When developing the LowCam VI100, Advanced Detection Technology discovered that event security personnel frequently required flexibility in helping them to better understand and be for prepared potential unknown threats.
After all, every event has its own set of criteria to consider.
Who is in charge of what information? How well can we orchestrate others’ vision versus our own as part of our security detail? What am I willing to give up from a security protocol to achieve others’ expectations?
Regardless of whether you are part of a convention and visitors bureau, a school principal, an event planner, ad hoc security personnel, or if safety for large gatherings is a part of your daily job requirement, these questions and the safety precautions chosen are critical to fulfilling the requirements for a successful, protected event.
While a controlled environment is desirable, it’s not always a feasible option. After all, life doesn’t stand still. Situations are fluid. Environments cannot always be controlled.
But doing nothing at these events in not an option.
This attention to detail consumes time, which would be better spent better assessing the potential threats rather than searching to find a power source, or to train your personnel on complicated, unfamiliar equipment.
Smart-Phone Simplicity
While the new LowCam VI100 system packs a powerful punch and includes a ramp, battery, tablet and carrying case, the product is as simple to use as a smart phone.
The graphical user interface is intuitive which means training time is kept to an absolute minimum.
In fact, upon launching the product for the very first time, new users can be trained on how to set up, use and care for the system in less than two minutes.
Additionally, in the event of either bright- or low-light settings, the LowCam system’s inspection camera is equipped with multiple LED lights that illuminate the underside of vehicles.
Images acquired from the LowCam VI100 are clear, well defined, and can provide side-to-side daylight with ultra-high definition.
Best of all, at any point during an under vehicle inspection, users can choose to review, zoom in up to 15X on the screen image, or swipe left or right between vehicles since the images are quickly and wirelessly transferred to a tablet.
Fat-fingered? No problem.
Speak into the tablet and the system records license plate information, notes to share with other users and more.
With You Every Step of the Way
Every day poses a new security challenge, whether that’s protecting a nation’s borders, facilities, monuments, airports, or its people.
To help expose these threats, Advanced Detection Technology has been providing under vehicle inspection systems 24/7 for nearly 20 years to governments, corporations and military installations around the world, helping to identify threats of terrorism, drugs and weapons smuggling by increasing entry point security.
The company’s customers are very discerning and for very good reason. Advanced Detection takes protecting people and property as seriously as their clients.
Advanced Detection Technology arms customers with military-grade equipment and technological know-how on a budget, to help keep special events running smoothly when an improvised checkpoint is needed.
