Operating at the 905 nm wavelength, sensitive
detectors calculate the light’s bounceback Time-
of-Flight (TOF) to measure the object’s distance
and record the collected data as a reproducible
three-dimensional point cloud.

This technology uses sophisticated human percep-
tion algorithms to track people for safety and secu-
rity in crowded environments at ranges exceeding
100 meters when used with Quanergy LiDAR sen-
sors.
The sensor’s ability to detect objects that vary in
size, shape, and reflectivity is largely unaffected
by ambient light/dark, infrared signature, and at-
mospheric conditions.
Q-Guard works indoors and outdoors, in
any weather or lighting conditions with
fewer false alarms, and adds a reliable
virtual fence that will substantially rein-
force perimeter security for critical infra-
structure.

This combination of hardware and software cre-
ates an integrated solution for any advanced se-
curity application.

Q-Guard features Multi-LiDAR Fusion™,
Quanergy’s proprietary smart technol-
ogy that combines multiple LiDARs into
a single unified point cloud, for track-
ing unique objects in complex environ-
ments.
Target applications include airports, border secu-
rity, critical infrastructure, data centers, harbors,
oil refineries, and industrial and prison perime-
ters.
Q-Guard leverages technology devel-
oped by Raytheon for demanding mili-
tary applications.

The Vulnerability, an Example – The Met-
calf Attack
The United States’ Critical Infrastructure (Gas,
Water and Power) is more vulnerable to security
threats than most realize.
In 2013, PG&E’s Metcalf substation was system-
atically attacked by terrorists.
