Silent Sentinel’s rugged, thermal cameras offer clear visibility in the complex and extreme environments associated with military, aviation, maritime and critical infrastructure, according to an announcement. Equipped with highly accurate detection capabilities, Silent Sentinel’s cameras are said to identify anomalies from up to 20 miles away (30 km) to extend the perimeter of security and support a faster, more informed response.
