In t r odu ct ion

This guide is intended to serve as a quick reference for installing and configuring Thermal
Radar ? and/or Hydra? systems.
A successful configuration will allow the viewing of the following video feeds within a Video
Management System (VMS): a thermal-based stream from Thermal Radar ? and an optical-based
stream from a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera (for Hydra? installations).
For more detailed instructions, please refer to the Th er m al Radar ? Set t in gs M an u al by clicking
one of the question marks contained on each page of the Thermal Radar ? Graphical User Interface
(GUI).
If you have any additional questions, please contact our support team using the information

Earth satellite image.
To create alerts with the VMS, refer to the VMS Integration Guide.

Walk Test
After installing and configuring a Thermal Radar ? / Hydra? system, conduct a Walk Test to
validate the accuracy of detections and PTZ tracking. It is recommended to have one individual
walk through the various AOIs, and a second individual monitor and verify the accuracy of
detections and tracking.
