Next-Generation Under-Vehicle Inspection System

UVM1 | Mobile Vehicle Monitoring System

The uniXSCAN UVM1 is an advanced Under-Vehicle Inspection System (UVIS) designed to replace conventional, inefficient methods like handheld mirrors or inspection pits. It provides a high-resolution, full-color view of a vehicle's undercarriage to detect dangerous objects (weapons, explosives, drugs, contraband) as well as safety or quality defects (such as rust). 

Its key differentiator is its versatility; it is a surface-mounted unit that requires no roadworks, making it suitable for both rapid mobile deployment and permanent installation.

Technical & Functional

Key Features

Surface Mount Design

Does not require excavation or civil works for installation; it sits directly on the road surface.

Dual-Mode Deployment

Engineered for both mobile (temporary checkpoints) and permanent use.

High-Resolution Color Imaging

Captures sharp, full-color images of the entire vehicle undercarriage.

Automatic Comparison Feature

Software capability that likely compares the current undercarriage image with a reference image (safe vehicle) to highlight anomalies automatically.

Integrated Cleaning System

Ensures the camera/sensors remain clear of dust and debris for consistent image quality.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Features an extremely robust cover designed to withstand the weight of vehicles passing over it.

Traffic Flow Efficiency

Enables reliable security checks without stopping or disrupting the flow of traffic.

High resolution color imaging

Original High Resolutions

Captures clear, full color images of the complete vehicle undercarriage for accurate inspection.

Compact under vehicle inspection

Compact and versatile design

A compact and reliable under vehicle inspection solution designed for daily security operations at fixed or mobile checkpoints.

Benefits & Applications

Client Benefits

  • Rapid Deployment: Can be set up quickly without the time and cost associated with digging up roads for installation.
  • Enhanced Detection: Far superior to manual inspection methods, providing a clear, complete view that eliminates blind spots common with mirrors.
  • Operational Flexibility: The same unit can be used for a temporary VIP event one day and a permanent gate installation the next.
  • Cost Savings: Eliminates civil engineering costs associated with in-ground UVIS systems.
  • Improved Throughput: Allows for faster processing of vehicles at checkpoints compared to manual inspections.

Use Cases

  • Security Checkpoints: General access control for sensitive areas.
  • Border Checkpoints: Inspecting vehicles for smuggling or contraband.
  • Military Bases: High-security entry points requiring threat detection.
  • Airports: Securing airside access and parking facilities.
  • Correctional Facilities & Prisons: Preventing the introduction of contraband.
  • Embassies & Consulates: Protecting diplomatic missions.
  • Critical Infrastructure: Power plants, government buildings, and data centers

Integration & Compatibility

  • Software Integration: The system includes an Automatic Comparison Feature, suggesting it runs on a workstation that processes and analyzes the image data.
  • Checkpoint Integration: Designed to work alongside other checkpoint technologies (typically pairs with License Plate Recognition (LPR) and driver cameras).
  • Control Room Compatibility: Inspection data can be viewed and managed from standard security workstations used in control rooms and monitoring centers.
  • Multi-Lane and Multi-Site Compatibility: Supports use across single or multiple lanes and can be deployed at different sites using the same system setup.

Deployment Options

  • Installation Type: The uniXSCAN UVM1 is surface mounted and placed directly on the road surface. No cutting, embedding, or permanent ground modification is required.
  • Portability:  With a weight of approximately 22 kg, the system can be carried and positioned by one or two operators. This supports mobile operations and temporary inspection points.
  • Infrastructure Requirements: No roadworks or drainage systems are required. The system can be deployed on existing paved surfaces with minimal site preparation.

Completing under vehicle inspection with

MicroSearch® H3P1

human presence detection

MicroSearch H3P1 strengthens under vehicle inspection by addressing what cameras and mirrors cannot confirm. While an under vehicle inspection system provides visual assessment of the vehicle underside, H3P1 focuses on detecting concealed people inside vehicles.

How it complements under vehicle inspection systems

  • Confirms human presence: Detects micro vibrations caused by the human heartbeat, even when individuals are hidden in compartments or cargo areas.
  • Portable and immediate use: Compact handheld device that can be used straight from its case with no setup time.
  • Supports mobile inspections: Ideal for traffic stops, secondary checks, parking areas, and locations where fixed inspection lanes are not available.
  • Enhances decision making: Provides a quick yes or no indication that supports officers before escalation or manual search.
  • Fits layered inspection workflows: Used alongside under vehicle inspection systems to combine visual inspection with physiological detection.

In practice, the under vehicle inspection system identifies anomalies and physical risks, while MicroSearch H3P1 verifies whether a vehicle may also conceal people. Together, they provide a more complete and reliable vehicle inspection approach for border control, police, and security operations.
