Magna BSP

Magna BSP, is an Israeli security company that specializes in video analytics on the defense and HLS market. Magna developed a unique system based on 3D cameras and sophisticated algorithm that promises over 99% detection rate and only 1 to 24 hour false alarm rate, to avoid these common incidents.

Magna uses the same principle as a human body – two eyes and a brain.

Among the system’s abilities are: distinction between people and animals, pre-alerts by suspicious movements, an automatically learning system, high filtering ability and more.

Magna system is also cost effective in terms of power supply, systems integration, equipment and maintenance.

 The technology is patent saved and well known in sensitive sites as nuclear plants, airports, borders etc., around the world and can integrate with other systems.

Magna's Concept

Magna began as a start-up company and developed a passive electro optic radar based on stereoscopic vision with the ability of detecting various targets, 24/7, in all weather conditions (up to standard performance deterioration).

Magna system enables detecting, tracking and monitoring various targets in a predefined field of view, measuring their location, distance, size, 3D vector, elevation and azimuth, in order to determine the level and type of the threat they pose.

This task is performed with a very low false alarm rate (as compared to similar systems). A basic scanning and / or staring system is composed of two cameras that use thermal imaging technology in order to detect any intruder or predefined targets in the field of view.

The video signals from the two cameras are further computer processed with software developed at Magna. The outputs of the company’s algorithms are target detection and location on a panorama view and on an air map, target's parameters evaluation such like: distance evaluation, target size evaluation, azimuth, velocity, etc.

The system’s features include ultra-low False Alarm Rate, a high probability of detection, various user defined filters in order to remove nuisances, and select specific targets, and target's parameters evaluation.

Magna’s innovative Passive Electro-optical Radar System is applicable to numerous areas of Homeland Defense and others including perimeter control, facilities protection, border security, coastal defense, aircraft detection and even bird’s detection at airports runways.

Magna’s Passive Electro-optical Radar System exploits the use of inexpensive cameras and PC hardware and software that greatly reduces system’s costs.

Lastly, Magna entered new projects regarding nuclear reactors in some sensitive facilities around the world.
