Description

City-Wide ISR Cloud VMS + AI 4G/5G Connected Searchable Intelligence

Merlin™ City-Wide Camera

Merlin is a rapid-deploy, pole-mounted surveillance and intelligence node designed for intersections, campuses, critical infrastructure, and city-wide security coverage. It combines long-range PTZ and fixed-view context cameras with cellular backhaul, edge recording, and cloud-managed video analytics—so teams can detect activity, investigate faster, and coordinate response with confidence.

Unified video management at scale (Eagle Eye Networks)

Manage thousands of cameras through a single, secure cloud VMS—standardize permissions, simplify administration, and enable controlled collaboration across agencies and stakeholders. Eagle Eye’s AI-driven activity detection supports advanced alerting workflows (including firearm detection/alerting where enabled), plus streamlined sharing for investigations and incident response.

Turn video into intelligence

  • People counting and occupancy-style metrics to understand patterns and peak periods.
  • Loitering time and behavior-based cues to prioritize response and reduce false alarms.
  • Natural language search of historical footage (example: “red car” or plate-related queries where supported).
  • Instant, temporary sharing of video access for incidents, events, or time-bound partners.

Key capabilities

🎥 Multi-camera coverage built for real operations
Merlin supports two PTZ cameras for long-range identification and wide-area tracking, plus two fixed cameras for constant context views (ideal for keeping key approaches covered while PTZs are working).

📡 Always-connected backhaul
Standard 4G/5G cellular transmission with secure networking and remote management capabilities through the integrated router platform.

💾 Edge recording + store & forward
Keep recording even during intermittent coverage, then automatically forward video when connectivity is restored.

🌗 Wide Dynamic Range imaging
WDR-enabled sensors handle harsh lighting—headlights, sunrise/sunset glare, and shadow transitions—without losing critical detail.

🚨 Visible deterrence options
Add warning lights and other deterrence elements to change behavior and reduce incidents before they escalate.

Built for street-level realities

  • NEMA 3R impervious aluminum enclosure with UV powder coating.
  • Integral mounting bracket for quick installation and repeatable alignment.
  • Designed for harsh environments with long-duration deployments and rapid swap-outs.

If your mission requires blending into the environment (instead of overt deterrence), explore MAXSUR’s covert form factors designed specifically for pole installations. Browse covert pole cameras →

Options & integrations

  • Surrogate cameras to tailor coverage to a specific intersection, facility, or choke point.
  • Environmental sensors for situational awareness and integrated alerting.
  • Activity triggers to drive automated workflows (alerts, lighting, speaker, escalation paths).
  • Remotely placed infrared illuminators to extend night coverage and improve identification.
  • Wi-Fi & mesh integration where local networks or multi-node coverage are required.
  • Solar + battery backup for off-grid or resiliency-driven deployments.
  • Talk-down speakers to deter and de-escalate (policy-guided messaging).
  • Warning lights and agency graphics for overt deterrence and clear ownership.
