We have significant experience satisfying
the most special technical needs of our customers. We understand the importance
of a balanced technical design. We apply the appropriate level of technology
to each project, keeping smaller projects simple and larger projects robust.
Our clients represent a broad cross-section of businesses. We are very proud
of the relationships we have built, and we have earned them through listening,
learning, and communicating with our clients. The samples below highlight
some of our custom applications. Most are integrated into our VM95 software
that runs the Biscuit system. Contact us to discuss your unique monitoring
needs.
-
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO)- La Spezia, ITALY – Developed for a specialized
military reconnaissance application. A hardware and software interface
was integrated into the biscuit and VM95, so that zoom, focus and iris
settings can be set programmatically using off-the-shelf 3 motor zoom
lenses. A custom 3”X3”. printed circuit board was designed
to reside inside the biscuit unit or camera housing. This board has circuitry
to drive the 3 motors and the feedback pots.
-
US Geological Survey
(USGS)-Santa Cruz, CA - Developed a data extraction solution
for scientific shoreline studies. Software extracts precise x, y pixel
locations at high frame rates. The process is called point extraction.
Additional algorithms will be developed for extracting information from
the images that is relevant to beach and shoreline monitoring studies.

City of Boca Raton,
FL - Developed an application for tourism/promotional interests.
The custom software which is integrated into VM95 has “Rapid FTP
Uploading”. See http://evsbocaftp.netfirms.com/live.htm

The Edge Information
Systems- Sydney, AUS – A developer of promotional videos,
The Edge required a special camera to suit their specific lens needs.
EVS designed a stand-alone application to control the Olympus E1 - SLR
Digital Camera with a super wide angle lens.
-
Regional Agency
for Environmental Protection and Prevention in the Veneto (ARPAV) - ITALY
- Integrated 7 solar systems for “avalanche watch” in the
Dolomites to upload using GSM network. All systems were designed to operate
from 50W solar panels.
-
United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) Athens, Greece –A dust particle camera
was needed to monitor air quality while the Olympics were under construction.
EVS developed custom software.
-
Institute for Ocean
Technology- Newfoundland, CANADA – Designed extreme low
temperature system for the North Atlantic. System is mounted on a ship
and monitors ice accretion levels. It then uploads data through satellite
phone which was integrated into the biscuit system.
-
Texas Bighorn Society
– Designed custom motion sensor application called “Trailcam”
to monitor endangered species in a wild desert habitat in the mountains
of West Texas. System uploads images and weather data using satellite
phone. Biologists working with the desert bighorns will be able to use
these photos to better understand the habits and biology of these animals,
as well as providing the public with a chance to view these very rare
animals in a truly wild setting. http://video-monitoring.com/wtek/
-
Texas Parks and
Wildlife - Caprock Canyon State Park, TX – Integrated Kiosk
for promotional purposes so visitors can view live images of bison in
a remote pen location. Project goal is to diversify the genetic profile
of the Texas state bison herd. http://agnews.tamu.edu/dailynews/stories/VETM/Nov1904a.htm
-
FEMA and Martin
County Board of County Commissioners – Jensen Beach, FL
- Designed hurricane-proof system able to provide critical data to FEMA
so they can monitor conditions during a hurricane. Part of the customizations
include: a robust backup power system able to operate up to 18 days from
the onset of lost power and a satellite communications backup system for
uploading data. This system functions in multiple roles providing the
county with a promotional tourism webcam, data for shoreline erosion studies,
and the hurricane data system described above.
-
Rosenstiel
School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS)- Key Biscayne, FL
Integrated 5.8GHz long range wireless system. Project goal is to describe
the currents, residence times, salinity patterns, and larval transport
in a South Florida lagoonal system.
