Under Vehicle Inspection Systems: Contraband Detection at Checkpoints

APEX and SPRINT under vehicle inspection kits give checkpoint teams live HD video of undercarriages, wheel wells and cargo areas.

Direct answer

APEX and SPRINT under vehicle inspection kits let checkpoint personnel view a vehicle's undercarriage, wheel wells and cargo areas on a live HD display while standing upright. A right angle camera on a sled rolls under the vehicle, and a ±120° adjustable camera head angles into frame rails, bumpers and cavities.

A Clearer View at the Checkpoint

Access control gates at corporate campuses, data centers, banks, private estates and event venues need fast, thorough vehicle checks.

Inspection mirrors give a limited, reflected view. APEX and SPRINT replace that with live HD video on a rugged tablet.

Both kits are designed and assembled in the USA (Holbrook, NY).

Customs and border teams can see the Border & Port Inspection page.

How the Systems Work

  • Sled under the vehicle: A sled mounted camera rolls under the vehicle for a full view of the chassis.
  • Adjustable camera head: The camera head adjusts ±120° to angle into frame rails, bumpers, wheel wells and spare tire wells.
  • Wide field of view: Right angle, low light color cameras with a 134° field of view.
  • Live view and recording: HD video streams to a rugged tablet, with recording to a removable card.
  • Weatherproof: The APEX and SPRINT vehicle systems are weatherproof for all weather use.

Single Operator Inspection

One screener can check the undercarriage, wheel wells and cargo areas while staying upright and clear of the vehicle.

APEX and SPRINT for Security Teams

For fixed entry control points, the APEX All Surface Vehicle Kit pairs a 9 ft (2.7 m) vehicle pole with wire frame and rough surface sleds, and works with other APEX products.

For mobile teams and temporary checkpoints, the SPRINT Vehicle Scout Kit uses a 6 ft (1.8 m) vehicle inspection pole and a 6 inch tablet, built for a single operator.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a camera system instead of an inspection mirror?

A camera system shows a live HD image instead of a reflection, and an adjustable camera head angles into recesses a mirror cannot reach. Video can also be recorded.

Can Zistos under vehicle cameras work in rain?

Yes. The APEX All Surface Vehicle Kit pole and camera are weatherproof for all weather use.
