Introduction
In today's world, security has become paramount, and ensuring thorough inspections of vehicles is essential in various sectors. An under vehicle search camera plays a critical role in this context, offering a sophisticated solution for inspecting the undersides of vehicles. This technology is widely used in security-sensitive areas such as airports, government buildings, and border crossings. In this guide, we will delve into the intricacies of under vehicle search cameras, exploring their features, applications, and benefits. At UK Inspection camera we have worked with numerous government bodies, aswell as private organisations to provide clear and quality Camera systems that aid Operators to search vehicles and provide a 360 degree vision to vehicles entering establishments and ultimately reducing security risk.
Who, What, When, Why & How
See below the requirement and necessity for the use of Under Vehicle Inspection Camera systems.
Who?
Who needs to use a undervehicle Inspection Camera?
Many establishments in the United Kingdom require searches to be conducted before entry is permitted - and to some extent - vehicles are the most important to check. On the Public service side - establishments run by the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Justice, Border Force, Police forces and councils all require searches to be completed before entry is given to a vehicle. In the private sector, whilst the aim of the search is the same - to reduce security risk to the establishment, the types of establishment vary to Manufacturing plants, Transportation Depots, Airports, Utility (Water, Gas, Electric) Sites. In both the public sector as well as the private sector -

What makes up a Under Vehicle Search Camera System
Under Vehicle Search Camera Systems are the culmination of a telescopic pole, camera (trolley or free mounted) and Monitor. These, fitted together can provide a vehicle search solution to effectively see under a vehicle. Uk Inspection Camera have built a bespoke Vehicle Search Camera system that encompasses all these points. The key for an under vehicle camera is having a good quality wide angle lens. This allows the camera to capture as much of the image as possible to display to the monitor. The other key point is the light source available to the camera. In dark situations - cameras need extra light to be able to gain a better view. This can be internal to the camera or externally attached.
When?
When would a Under Vehicle Search Camera be used?
Vehicle searches are normally carried out at Point Of entry and Point Of Departure. In a security conscious environment - security managers should be enforcing vehicle searches to ensure contraband (which can be in many forms for different sectors) isn't being brought onto site and equally items aren't being removed unauthorised. Failure to conduct a vehicle search at Entry and Departure means there is a high residual risk for the establishment that contraband is being brought onto site or items are being removed. Vehicle searches reduce this risk significantly and gives the security risk holder a better understanding of what is brought on and off site at all times.
Why?
Why does an Under Vehicle Inspection Camera System work for security conscious environments?
In security - you often find that both parties involved in a search find the process of search pointless and time delaying. But why are they enforced? They reduce risk to the site and stop contraband entering an establishment or stop something being removed that shouldn't be. Fact. Vehicles are a massive risk when it comes to sites because they have more spaces to conceal and take longer to search. Why does a camera change this - it provides a viewing angle that cannot be achieved normally. It allows deep inspection to vehicle spaces that are often used to smuggle contraband - vehicle arches, engine bay, exhaust pipes etc.

How does a Under Vehicle Search Camera actually solve a security problem for organisations?
How will the UK inspection camera search system solve the problem faced with vehicle entry and exit? The camera system allows extended reach under the vehicle on a omni-directional trolley. The camera feeds back to our 7inch HD monitor where operators can view, record, screenshot and adjust.
