| What is the basis of the technology employed by Iscon1000D? |
|
Iscon1000D uses a proprietary infrared image analysis technology. Because the human body naturally radiates heat,
Iscon1000D scans for temperature differences on the body’s surface, or for temperature imbalances between the
body, clothes and any hidden objects. Because all objects radiate heat and resist temperature change differently,
Iscon1000D’s image analysis technology is capable of detecting minute temperature differences of hidden objects
regardless of the organic or inorganic nature of the substance. Once the presence of an object is detected, the
subject may be held for further screening.
With infrared technology, temperatures a represented in shades. Cooler objects are black. Warmer objects are
white. And, infrared scanning technology is completely passive. Unlike other systems, it applies no external
radiation. It simply analyzes the surface of the body for temperature differences. |
|
|
| What substances and materials are the portal able to detect? |
|
| The nature of the technology allows the Iscon1000D to indirectly scan for a wide range of inorganic and organic
substances and materials under the most extreme cases of concealment. |
| |
|
| What size must an object be for effective detection? |
|
| Because the technology is looking for minute temperature differences between objects and the surface of the
human body rather than specific types of materials or substances, the size of the object typically is not relevant to
the system’s ability to successfully identify its presence. |

|
| Is Iscon1000D a stand-alone device, or designed to compliment other security measures? |
|
| Is Iscon1000D a stand-alone device, or designed to compliment other security measures?
Depending on the security concerns and throughput of a particular environment, Iscon can work as both a
stand-alone unit and as part of an integrated platform. |
|
|
| How many Iscon1000D scanners can be connected in the local network? |
|
| Up to 64 Iscon1000D scanners can be connected in the local network. |
|
|
| What is the maximum distance between the operator station and scanner? |
|
| Iscon1000D uses a Gigabit network and comes with a 5 meter cable. This distance can be increased by using a longer ethernet cable (50, 100 m) compatible with a gigabit network. |
|
|
| Is Iscon1000D capable of scanning shoes and hats? |
|
| The portal is not capable of scanning shoes or hats. The unit scan area is from the neck to ankles. If the capability to scan hats and shoes is a requirement, the unit must be used in conjunction with additional systems. |
|
|
| How easily does Iscon1000D integrate with existing security applications and platforms? |
|
| Typically Iscon1000D integrates very seamlessly with existing or planned security and information systems. |
|
|
| How long is Iscon1000D’s Screening Process? |
|
| Iscon1000D is capable of reliable screening of 120 people per hour. |
|
|
| What kind of maintenance is required and how often? |
|
| Iscon1000D has been developed with very lean engineering. With few moving parts and no consumables (ie. Filters,etc…) Iscon1000D typically requires little in the way of maintenanceon an ongoing basis. |
|
|
| Does Iscon1000D provide solution to prevent data loss in event of power failure? |
|
| Iscon1000D comes with UPS device that provides power up to one hour in the event of power failure to prevent data loss. |
|
|
| Can Iscon1000D be monitored remotely? |
|
| Iscon1000D is equipped with a state-of-the-art CPU that can be integrated with any existing network or IT systems. |
|
|
| Are operators in danger of over-exposure to radiation? |
|
| No. Iscon1000D uses no active radiation. Proprietary infrared image analysis is completely passive. It simply scans
the body for minute temperature differences between the skin’s surface and an object. |
|
|
| How many operators can work on Iscon1000D? |
|
| Up to 10000 operators can be registered for each Iscon1000D scanner. Each operator account is password protected. |
|
|
| How long does operator training take? |
|
| Operator training takes 2-3 hours and is provided free of charge at the Iscon Video Imaging facility. |
|
|
| How does Iscon1000D protect system settings from being changed by operators? |
|
| Iscon1000D provides access level limits for each registered user/operator so only authorized users have access to system settings. |
|
|
| What kind of protection does Iscon1000D provide to limit access only to authorized personnel? |
|
| Iscon1000D provides both mechanical (keyed electrical switch) and software protection (password protected operator station). |
|
|
| Can Iscon1000D software be translated to local language? |
|
| Iscon1000D can be translated to any local language. |
