Pathfinder is an intelligent video motion sensor system for CCTV installations, providing reliable detection of people and vehicles moving within the camera scenes. Unlike traditional video motion detectors with their complex set-up procedures, Pathfinder simply requires the cameras to be connected to complete the installation. Pathfinder automatically ignores most environmental movement such as moving foliage backgrounds and lightning changes caused by rain and clouds.

Pathfinder provides alarm signals which are used to alert guards, start recording or to switch video displays.

A video loop-through is provided for each video channel, allowing Pathfinder to be connected in series with monitors, switchers, recorders, etc. Each channel also has a separate video output with graphic overlay for displaying the position of 4:1 switched video output channel. This displays either a fixed camera sequence (1,2,3,4) or a blank screen and automatically switches to display any channel where motion is detected. Multiple alarms are displayed in sequence.

Pathfinder can even be used with Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras. It ignores the apparent movement due to PTZ actions, and resumes detection in the new scene after the camera comes to rest.
