Industry

In addition to medical simulation, Kb Port has had the privilege of working our technology into a multitude of industry applications. Our ETC, and other products have been worked into corporate training, a variety of audio/visual applications, the Department of Defense, and the U.S Military.

Kb Port was asked to integrated temperature, barometric pressure, wind, and moisture sensors into the ETC recording technology. The equipment was housed in a custom made environmentally controlled container. The weatherproof camera enclosures were custom modified to accept customized digital cameras. The system was placed in the middle of a field where it could be controlled and evaluated live and from a remote location. All retrieved data was sent to an archiving system via satellite.

Recently, Kb Port has had the opportunity to provide solutions for TAPS, The Atlantic Paranormal Society. Our camera systems have been featured in various paranormal investigations by Grant and Jason of the SyFy channel's hit show, Ghost Hunters.
