NEO integrate RECCO Technology to increase your safety.
In case of avalanches and emergencies or if lost in the outdoors. RECCO rescue reflectors make you searchable by organized rescue teams searching with RECCO detectors.
Of course, RECCO ® technology is not a substitute for an avalanche transceiver.
How does it work?
1. The RECCO detector emits a directional radar signal, similar to the beam of a flashlight.
2. When the radar signal hits the RECCO reflector, it is echoed back to the detector and points the rescuer in the direction of the victim.
3. The closer the detector gets to the reflector, the stronger the returned signal, ultimately allowing the rescuer to pinpoint the victim’s location.
Reflectors are not a substitute for personal avalanche transceivers and rescue companions, but they do not need to be turned on and provide a backup solution so that professional rescuers can always conduct searches.
Be searchable
The technology is a two-part system, the detectorsends out a directional radar signal like the beam of a flash light. Once the beam of the signal hits the RECCO reflector the signal is echoed back anddirects the rescuer to your location.
The RECCO technology is a global standard and handheld detectors are carried by professional rescue teams worldwide for avalanche rescue. In addition, RECCO SAR helicopter detectors are used to scan large areas from air to locate a missing person in the outdoors.
It is important to note that RECCO reflectors DO NOT substitute the tools necessary for companionrescue; avalanche transceivers, probe and shovel. They are a simple additional tool for everyone to always be searchable to professional rescuers.
