IDS GeoRadar S.r.l. MNG/2017/009 Rev 1.1 26/ 54
The Camera, integrated into a Hydra installation, provides several
additional features:
• For Hydra-G LP it is used to display the radar map on the camera
image (Fig. 24);
• For Hydra-U and Hydra-G HP it is used to correlate the picture
scenario with a given Guardian radar map, thus enabling the visual
recognition of moving areas (Fig. 25);
• For Hydra-U and Hydra-G HP it can stream a real time video of the
areas of interest.

Both models of the Camera are connected to the PSU though an Ethernet
cable.
5.8 Laser
The Laser (Fig. 26), used only in the Hydra-U model, is mounted on the
elevation pointing system, below the Radar Sensor and, when moved by
the PTU, act as a laser scanner, enabling the surface reconstruction of the
monitored scenario.
The laser has good measuring performance on a rocky surface up to 50 m
far.
The Laser is connected directly to the Radar Sensor.
