It outperforms conventional thermal 24/7, even in rough conditions. Using the PODS software and user interface, the oil appears red and can be configured to set off automatic alarms when detected.

The Pyxis has demonstrated robust oil-on-water detection under a wide variety of conditions both in testing and in seep-and-spill scenarios in real-world conditions. The PODS software leverages the robust detection while simultaneously testing each potential alarm against multiple checks in order to eliminate false alarms. This core system can be mounted in a low-cost environmental enclosure, in a certified and intrinsically safe housing, or a certified intrinsically safe pan-tilt unit. The pan-tilt unit provides large area coverage from a single position over a pre-programmed path, optimizing detection in the areas you care about most. Alarms are given on the display and optionally remoted to other locations/devices. The video feed is displayed live for human intervention only when necessary.
