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 already integrated into our VM95 software. 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.
