A Car Metal Detector, also known as an Under Vehicle Metal Detector (UVMD) or Under Vehicle Surveillance System (UVSS), is an advanced security device designed to detect metallic threats and contraband attached to or hidden under vehicles. It is commonly installed at the entrances of high-security premises such as airports, military bases, government offices, hotels, and industrial complexes.
The system scans the underside of vehicles for hidden metallic objects such as weapons, explosives, or smuggling materials. With high-sensitivity sensors, rugged design, and fast scanning capability, it ensures effective security screening without interrupting vehicle movement.
