VSD-C2

Operator Displays for Security, Surveillance, Military C2 & C-UAS.

Display & control radars, cameras, sensors & effectors with this customisable software.

Cost-Effective Operator Display Software

Versatile software for military C2, counter-drone and security infrastructure protection. It supports a wide range of radars, many camera types, video tracking and third-party AI modules.

Running on standard Windows PC workstations, laptops, or servers, VSD can be used in hierarchical C2 or edge networks, for both ground fixed and ground mobile applications.

Easy to operate effectively with minimal training required, VSD's flexibility allows for rapid integration of new capabilities into custom solutions.

customisable branded surveillance camera software

The Most Flexible Command & Control (C2) or Security Display Software

VSD can display a custom layout including 2D / 3D visualization of surveillance sensors, live camera feeds, fused PPI radar windows, and panoramic displays. It supports multi-screen displays and the windows and controls layout can be customised. The display windows support real-time overlaid symbology and background maps/charts.

VSD enables wide-area C2 with tiered regional or central command centres and automatic discovery of subordinate stations. It allows both local and remote control of sensors and effectors.

Choose from 4 Off-the-Shelf Versions

As standard, the VSD application software is available in four off-the-shelf, ready-to-run versions, which are progressively more feature-rich. VSD-Camera Advanced and both VSD-C2 versions include support for third-party video tracking systems or AI-based classifier modules. VSD-C2 has additional device type support that allows other sensors and effectors to be included.

VSD Project: Vizgard

"With the integration of VSD, our capabilities have expanded, enabling us to cater to customers seeking to harness our AI for time-critical insight alongside Cambridge Pixel's library of supported sensor technologies. This development not only broadens our service offerings but also creates exciting prospects for potential partnerships with other sensor providers, whether it be for C-UAS or more general security applications."

Alex Kehoe, CEO of Vizgard

VSD-Camera Standard

VSD-Camera Standard features multi-camera PTZ control, live camera video windows and a 2D tiled map window. The map window can be used to command slew-to-cue of the camera(s) and includes real-time overlay graphics for the current camera field-of-view (FOV) and azimuth orientation. Additional features include:

  • Camera tour support
  • Configuration setup wizard
  • Customisable video preset buttons

VSD-Camera Advanced

VSD-Camera Advanced adds support for third-party video tracking systems and AI-based classifier modules. It also supports receipt and display of AIS and ADS-B streams and can make use of navigation data sources for automatic orientation and positioning of a vehicle platform.

A useful line-of-sight coverage map tool is also included to help identify optimum sensor platform locations that have minimal blind spots.

Optional extras: Record and replay

VSD-C2 Standard

As a complement to camera control, VSD-C2 Standard adds support for a single type of C2 sensor (or C2 effector). Customers can choose any supported device.

Features include alarm processing across regions/zones and gates, display of scan converted primary radar video and secondary track data and support for MIL-STD-2525D format overlay symbology. Track data can be displayed in a multi-column radar track table window, which is sortable.

Where required, licences for SPx Fusion Server (for primary and secondary track correlation) and SPx Track Manager (for radar format conversion) are included.

Optional extras: 2D tracking, 3D tracking, record and replay.

VSD-C2 Advanced

VSD-C2 Advanced includes support for up to four different types of C2 sensors/effectors. By supporting multiple sensors and effectors, more advanced, multi-step workflows or control chains can be implemented. It also includes 3D visualisation windows and a novel panorama window for enhanced situational awareness.

The panorama window is a picture which is captured at system set-up (or on-demand) by automatically panning and sequentially snapshotting camera sensor video to build-up an ultra-wide static picture (covering up to 360° in azimuth). Operators can use the panorama window to quickly cue cameras (and/or effectors) to reference features in the captured image, as well as to real-time overlaid target tracks from the C2 sensors.

Optional extras: kinetic effector support, automatic threat processing.
