Get to Know Us
Founded in 2012 by two inventors, Mike Dortch, and Larry Price set out to recreate a new approach to perimeter and site security. They recognized that video surveillance was used to monitor perimeters, and commercial and governmental sites had been historically ineffective and expensive to use the most modern technology. Moreover, the founders sought to address the fact that most existing intrusion detection security solutions were linear and rarely provided the necessary situational awareness required for advanced detection and crime prevention.
After several years of R&D and multiple prototypes, Thermal Radar was introduced to the market in 2015, garnering multiple industry awards and accolades over the next several years. The business grew steadily, accumulating and finding acceptance from some of the world's top names as customers across many industries including critical infrastructure, government and military, oil and gas, and many more.
2020 brought the introduction of a new upgraded V2 model which accelerated growth and allowed the company to extend its standard warranty. The company has continued to grow quickly, adding new staff, features, and products at a fast pace.
“The future is bright for us and we are excited about our product development pipeline and look forward to continuing to bring industry-leading and innovative products to our customers all around the world.”
