Key benefits of the Neo include full 3D spatial resolution for clearer data, a 360° HDR camera synchronised with radar data, and an extended monitoring range of up to 6 km for earlier detection of slope failures. Designed for ease of use and flexibility, Neo offers super-fast deployment, an intuitive user interface, three configurable specifications to suit any monitoring scenario, and flexible hybrid or 100% battery powered options.
