TCS Wind

TCS Wind

Autonomous 24/7 all-weather bird detection system using thermal imaging and up to 360° surveillance area coverage. Capable of detecting and recording all bird and bat species. Detection distances and fields of view vary depending on client needs, but may reach 1 000+ m for large birds.

The system operates through Volacom’s proprietary detection software providing live view and sound notification upon detection. Once an object is detected, TCS Wind tracks it until it leaves the field of view. The modular web-based UI allows configuration of various settings and keeps a detailed statistical database with video recordings and logs of every detection.

Designed for easy addition of Volacom’s powerful acoustic emitter for deterrence capabilities.
