Wide Area Surveillance
HGH takes Wide Area Surveillance to the next level. Our global optronics surveillance solution encompasses a large range of SPYNEL® 360° IR sensors driven by Cyclope detection and tracking software or Cyclope Hypervisor. On land or at sea, the SPYNEL® thermal cameras acquire high-resolution 360-degree images, with automatic and real time detection of simultaneous and unlimited number of targets.
The turnkey HGH optronics surveillance solution continuously monitor ultra wide panoramic fields of view to ensure that no event is missed, even in total darkness, or through smoke or inclement weather conditions. It is the ultimate solution for 24/7 situation awareness, providing unprecedented real-time security for critical infrastructures.
Test & Measurement
HGH offers a unique comprehensive test & measurement solution for all optronics system. HGH leading-edge infrared and visible test equipment ranges from blackbodies, integrated spheres and collimators to integrated test benches which are all driven by the turnkey INFRATEST software. Our equipment serve universities, research labs, detector manufacturers and test centres around the world.
Beyond the quest for technical excellence, we strive to offer a complete metrology service to our customers, by sharing our experience and best practices, offering expert support, trainings, and commissioning for our integrated solutions.
Industrial Thermography
HGH manufactures thermal scanners and cameras for remote temperature measurements on rotary kilns and in high-temperature environments, with the highest accuracy. HGH solutions extend equipment lifetime and enable preventative maintenance actions before irreversible damage occurs, thus improving production quality and quantity with reductions in downtime and energy consumption. HGH has sold more than 1000 units worldwide.
Human Thermography
To face the Covid-19 pandemic, HGH has developed an innovative temperature screening solution to detect, without contact, the elevated skin temperatures of individuals throughout the thermal camera’s surveillance area. mIRcury® panoramic thermal camera is designed to screen large halls, thus facilitating the flow of people while helping to reduce disease transmission risk.
