An under-vehicle inspection system is generally comprised of still or video cameras mounted within a ramp and used at facility access points, particularly at secure facilities. An under-vehicle inspection system is used to detect threats -- such as bombs -- that are hidden underneath vehicles. Cameras capture images of the undercarriage of the vehicle for manual or automated visual inspection by security personnel or systems.

Under-vehicle inspection systems can be permanent (embedded in the road), fixed (attached to the road), or mobile (portable).

Under vehicle inspection systems are known by the acronyms UVI (under-vehicle inspection), UVIS (under-vehicle inspection systems), AUVIS (automated under-vehicle inspection systems) and MUVIS (mobile under-vehicle inspection systems).

[edit] Available "Under-vehicle Inspection" System

iVACS® , a state of the art Under Vehicle Scanning System (UVSS) from Stratech Systems Limited (Singapore) to detect and alert the possible danger of abnormalities such as potential bomb packages in the undercarriage of a vehicle. The system allows vehicle inspection with its unique capability to scan vehicle undercarriages, capture high quality images, allow zoom-in capabilities, and automatically compare historical images with newly taken one to automatically detect any discrepancy. It is the ONLY under carriage surveillance system capable of delivering unsurpassed image quality.

The system also integrates other essential security procedures such as vehicle number plate, driver verification and explosive detection into a singular system, hence providing complete, all-in-one security inspection system for total vehicle access.

Through years of research and innovation and working closely with leading security authorities, Stratech’s fourth generation of iVACS® was born. Code named - iVACS® - Gen 4, this advanced UVSS is able to scan all types of vehicles in faster processing time along with the ability to capture high resolution colored images in real time. The new version has been designed with a strong focus on usability, making the system easy to install, easy to configure, and easy to use.
