Ogier Electronics

What Ogier Electronics does

Ogier Electronics Ltd is a privately held UK company headquartered in St Albans, Hertfordshire, founded in 1993 to develop radar, video, and microwave data communication technologies. The company designs and manufactures its own hardware portfolio built around 24GHz license-exempt FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar technology, with proprietary signal processing algorithms for target detection, tracking, and classification. Its product lines include the Scan-360 360-degree security radar (up to 200m range, covering 125,000+ m² per unit), the Super-Beam bistatic perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS, up to 400m beam length), and the SVR-500 and SVR-500IS highway safety radars (stopped vehicle, wrong-way driver, and debris detection). Alongside radar, the company supplies specialist microwave transmission systems for wireless CCTV and railway track-to-train video links.

The company serves four primary verticals: critical infrastructure and utilities (e.g., National Grid COMAH sites, Shell, Lowther Renewables solar farms), highway safety and road transport (e.g., Rijkswaterstaat on the A50 Rhine bridge, Transport for London), railway safety (e.g., MTR Corporation), and defence / high-security facilities (e.g., UK Ministry of Defence). Customer logos are predominantly large enterprises and government agencies, with deals structured as quote-based multi-year contracts rather than recurring SaaS. Go-to-market blends direct enterprise sales from the UK headquarters with an 11-country distribution partner network (covering the Americas, continental Europe, South Africa, and Türkiye), supported by system integrators (Obsidian Security, Vartec EPC, Remote Surveillance) and recommended camera partners (360 Vision Technology, Overview, Redvision CCTV) plus validated VMS integrations (NX Witness, Milestone).

Revenue mechanics are hardware-driven: Ogier sells its own manufactured radar units and microwave systems with no public pricing and no subscription or SaaS layer. The company markets primarily through industry exhibitions (Intertraffic, Security Essen, Security & Policing, ConSec) and detailed technical case studies rather than paid digital advertising. The company has been operating continuously for over 30 years with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, no leadership changes, and no parent company, suggesting a bootstrapped, founder-led operating model.

Core offering

Ogier Electronics designs, develops, and manufactures 24GHz FMCW microwave radar products for security, highway safety, and railway applications, plus specialist microwave transmission systems for CCTV and broadband connectivity. The portfolio includes wide-area security radars (Scan-360, Super-Beam), highway incident detection radars (SVR-500, SVR-500IS), track-to-train CCTV transmission systems, and wireless video/data links. Products are sold directly to enterprises and through an international network of distributors and system integrators.

Product overview

Ogier Electronics provides radar-based detection and communication solutions for security, highway safety, and railway applications. The product portfolio includes four main categories: (1) Security Radars — Scan-360 wide-area surveillance radar (360°, 200m range) and Super-Beam bistatic PIDS (up to 400m range); (2) Highway Safety Radars — SVR-500 stopped vehicle detection radar (500m coverage, 8-second detection) and SVR-500IS with automatic incident detection and instantaneous speed measurement for wrong-way driver and debris detection; (3) Railway Solutions — Track To Train CCTV system for platform visibility and CCTV Transmission systems for wireless connectivity; (4) Video & Data Communication — Microwave transmission for CCTV links and broadband internet. All radar products operate in the 24GHz license-exempt frequency band and feature camera slew-to-cue integration capabilities.

Products and services

• Scan-360 Security Radar A compact 360-degree FMCW security radar that detects and tracks people and vehicles at up to 200 metres range, providing wide-area coverage exceeding 125,000 square metres with programmable detection zones, automatic slew-to-cue camera control, and target geo-position, size, and speed reporting. Designed for perimeter protection and wide-area surveillance of critical infrastructure, airports, and utility sites.
• Super-Beam Radar PIDS A bistatic microwave fence perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS) that detects intruders crossing a narrow perimeter of up to 400 metres. Uses two radar heads facing each other to form a narrow beam-break detection zone with high detection probability and very low false alarm rate. Targeted at airports, prisons, military bases, and other high-security sites.
• SVR-500 Stopped Vehicle Detection Radar A highway safety radar that scans 360 degrees to detect stopped vehicles within typically 8 seconds across up to 500 metres (250m in all directions). Operates in all weather, scans 10+ lanes, identifies the lane of a stopped vehicle, and automatically controls PTZ cameras for visual assessment. Targeted at highway authorities and road operators for incident detection on bridges, tunnels, smart motorways, and elevated highways.
• SVR-500IS Automatic Incident Detection Radar An advanced highway radar with instantaneous speed measurement technology that measures vehicle speed and direction during a single scan. Detects stopped vehicles, wrong-way drivers, debris, pedestrians, wildlife, and obstructions, and classifies the cause of an incident (debris, animal, pedestrian, vehicle) within a single scan. Targeted at highway authorities needing instant wrong-way driver detection and incident categorisation.
• Track To Train CCTV System A railway safety microwave transmission system that delivers live platform camera footage to train drivers' cabs with zero latency and no loss of clarity, even in complex underground railway environments. Designed for railway operators needing complete platform visibility and instant driver response to safety issues.

Broad incumbents

• Iteris: Intelligent transportation systems vendor with vehicle detection, traffic analytics and AID products. Competes in the same highway-safety RFPs as Ogier's SVR-500/SVR-500IS.
• Teledyne FLIR: Large incumbent in thermal imaging and traffic/ITS sensors, including AID solutions. Overlaps with Ogier in security and highway incident-detection, but with a much broader portfolio and global distribution.
• Axis Communications: Network camera and surveillance specialist whose PTZ and analytics cameras integrate with Ogier radar products but also compete at the system level on perimeter and site security.
• Honeywell Security: Broad incumbent in building and perimeter security including intrusion detection. Competes with Ogier on large integrated security tenders for utilities, airports and government sites.

Direct peers

• Navtech Radar: UK-based manufacturer of millimeter-wave radar for highway incident detection and security perimeters. Closest direct peer to Ogier, also serving road operators and critical infrastructure with FMCW radar products.
• MAGOS Systems: Developer of wide-area radar-based detection for perimeter security and intrusion detection. Directly competes with Ogier's Scan-360 and Super-Beam PIDS in the same perimetric security use cases.
• Houston Radar: Specialist Doppler and FMCW radar supplier focused on traffic sensing, stopped-vehicle and wrong-way detection. Directly comparable in product category (highway safety radar) and target customer base (highway authorities).
• Blighter Surveillance Systems: UK-based radar manufacturer offering ground, coastal and perimeter surveillance radars. Highly comparable in technology (FMCW/e-scan radar) and end markets (defence, airports, critical infrastructure).

Emerging players

• Citilog: Video-based automatic incident detection specialist used on highways and tunnels. Adjacent competitor to Ogier's SVR-500 family, particularly where agencies prefer video analytics over radar.
• SensorTec (Traffic Sensor Corp.): Manufacturer of radar-based traffic sensors for vehicle detection, classification and incident detection. Comparable in product category (highway/traffic radar) and complementary in customer type to Ogier.
