IP surveillance solution provider VIVOTEK has joined ENOVA Robotics Police Robot Project to enforce COVID-19 lockdown in Tunisia

VIVOTEK is part of Tunisian police robot project ‘P-Guard’. Produced by ENOVA Robotics, the P-Guard robot has been deployed on the streets by Tunisia's interior ministry to impose restrictions on lockdowns on citizens and help slow the spread of coronavirus.

The police robot, ‘P-Guard’, was originally invented for security patrols of sensitive open areas. Every P-Guard robot is equipped with 2 VIVOTEK MS9390-HV 180 degree panoramic network cameras to deliver 360 degree zero blind-spot surround imagery.

The MS9390-HV features dual 4-megapixel wide-angle lenses, seamless 180-degree panoramic views and effective IR illuminators up to 20 m, making it the ideal camera for daytime and night surveillance to deliver superb image quality. In addition, the MS9390-HV’s face-shaped housing design is perfectly matched to the appearance of the robot and makes the P-Guard robot look more friendly to citizens.

With its field-beating cameras, Lidar technology and extensive network connectivity, the P-Guard can be operated remotely to perform security missions across all corners of the city, ensuring people stay at home during the national quarantine period.

Anis Sahbani, CEO of ENOVA Robotics, said, “ENOVA Robotics’ core philosophy is knowing today what our customer needs tomorrow. We will help people to handle the most difficult, dangerous or repetitive tasks with artificial intelligence robots.”

Alex Liao, President of VIVOTEK, commented, “While the world is facing a challenge that no one has imagined before, VIVOTEK hopes to contribute to the society by securing people’s safety in the smarter ways and is prepared to fight any future crisis together with all their global partners.”
