The WAVcam's wide area video can serve as a visual aid to military or law enforcement officials seeking to gain comprehensive situational awareness of large areas – e.g., public events, facility perimeter security, and airport security, to name a few. The live, panoramic views give officials a better idea of the local environment around detected entities or suspicious activity, improving their ability to assess both the threat level and the appropriate response. In addition, the WAVcam's automatic detection and On-Demand viewer provide an efficient means for controlling a large area.

A configuration of four WAVcams, each with a 90° FOV, can be arranged to provide 360° situational awareness across miles of perimeter at facilities such as airports and military bases. The automated detection, high-quality video, and On-Demand viewing provided by the WAVcam can significantly improve the security at these facilities.
