“If walls had ears” might be an expression, but military equipment can now give them eyes.

Camero-Tech, an Israeli military technology firm, has unveiled the latest generation of its wall imaging systems. The ‘Xaver-1000’, as the tool is called, uses an AI-based tracking algorithm to identify people and objects through walls in real-time.

The equipment detects the presence of life inside rooms, even pinpointing the number of people behind the wall, their heights and distance from the system, and the general layout of the unseen area.

The Xaver-1000 was presented for the first time at the Eurosatury 2022 exhibition in Paris, and it’s touted as an essential asset for military personnel, law enforcement, search and rescue teams, and intelligence units.

Its ability to capture high-resolution images enables it to distinguish specific body parts, along with whether the people inside the rooms are sitting, standing, lying down, or have been motionless for a while in real-time. The Xaver-1000 is also able to discern if a subject is an adult, child, or animal, and it can bypass the thickness of most building materials.

Using the Xaver-1000 is fairly simple and doesn’t require a lot of training. There’s a 10.1-inch touchscreen display that lets its user access a navigation menu, in addition to playbacks for post-mission briefings and training. All it takes is the push of a button, says the firm.

“The system creates an unprecedented situational awareness 3D visual picture, providing a clear operational advantage and the ability to step into the known,” says Camero-Tech.
