In times of increasing migratory flows and the simultaneous increase of terrorism, it is fundamentally important for many countries to prevent illegal border crossings. In addition, the smuggling of illegal goods such as drugs or weapons must be stopped. For many countries the borders extend over hundreds of kilometers of mountain or desert landscapes which are difficult to access and difficult to control.
Long range motorzooms for monitoring long distances
To help solve this demanding task, the continuous installation of video monitoring systems is essential. For this purpose, motorized zoom lenses with a very long focal length are required. Kowa offers zoom lenses with especially long focal lengths such as 750mm and 1000mm as part of its extensive range of C-mount motor zoom lenses. These Kowa zoom lenses can detect small details from a distance of several kilometers and help many countries to secure their borders.
Border security at night
Often, criminals try to cross the borders in the dark. Therefore, border surveillance must be guaranteed at all times of the day and at night. That is why Kowa offers a wide range of IR-corrected motor zooms for day and night monitoring. These motorized zooms minimize the focus shift when switching from daylight to IR light for night surveillance. Additionally, Kowa offers motorzooms optimized for the shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength range. Recording in this wavelength makes it possible to visualize objects which are invisible to the human eye. Kowa SWIR zoom lenses can see through mist or materials such as plastic. In addition, they allow night-time shooting without additional illumination by detecting the airglow.

Kowa low light camera secures borders
Another possibility for night-time border control is Kowa‘s low light camera, which complements the extensive range of motorized C-mount zooms. This camera delivers a color image at only 0.005 lux. At night it is sufficient if there are small city lights a few kilometers away to get a bright color image with the Kowa low light camera. Because of these characteristics, the camera is already in use throughout many borders of the world.

On-site support
Often it is very complex to put together a suitable border monitoring system. The motorized zooms and the cameras must be tested in the specific application situation. In close collaboration with integrators and safety authorities, Kowa has gained extensive experience in integrating motorized zooms and cameras. The Kowa team can advise you accordingly. All Kowa motorzooms can be loaned for testing and if necessary the Kowa experts can assist in field tests. Book an appointment with a Kowa lens expert now.
