The AVIV Searchlight system eliminates the need for a guard at night, and saves site security costs. The system 'simulates' the actions of a watchman on patrol to deter intruders from illegal intrusions. The Searchlight enables functionalities such as power on/off and zoom to mimic the behavior of a real security guard to scare away trespassers. The system is easily integrated with the AVIV Pan-Tilt unit and to follow the zoom.
