Cell Search Digital Radiography System

Cuattro Search, supplied by J3Seven, is a portable digital X-ray solution designed specifically for searching prison cells and secure accommodation areas for hidden contraband. The system helps officers see inside mattresses, walls, furniture and personal property in seconds, reducing reliance on manual searches and supporting safer, more consistent inspections.

Combining rugged wireless detectors with intuitive software, Cuattro Search delivers high-definition images to the operator’s screen in just a few seconds. Long-range wireless control, built-in result logging and search history tools help teams document inspections, identify patterns and act quickly across entire wings and facilities.

Why Teams Choose Cuattro Search

Designed for correctional facilities: Built for rapid inspections of mattresses, fixtures, furniture and belongings, supporting safer and more thorough cell searches.

Fast images for quick decisions: Images are displayed in seconds, allowing officers to clear more areas in less time without slowing daily routines.

Rugged, glassless detectors: Flexible, non-glass panels improve durability and handling around beds, doors and confined areas typically found in correctional settings.

Lightweight and sealed: 10 x 12 inch detectors weigh around 1.7 kg and are sealed to IP67, enabling daily use in dusty, wet or high-contact environments.

Onboard storage and thin edges: Up to 200 images can be stored directly on the detector. Thin bezels minimise dead space, helping officers slide the panel under mattresses or along wall edges.

High-definition, low-dose imaging: A 99 micrometre pixel pitch and 16-bit greyscale provide clear views of concealed contraband while supporting low-dose, repeatable use.

Search-focused software: Guided workflows help users select item types or search scenarios, automatically adjusting exposure settings and filters.

Generator control and integration: Supports compatible 12V and 20V generators via wired or wireless connection, managing pulses, delays and exposure trains.

Quick Set and Shoot workflow: One-button imaging and preset device profiles make it easy to conduct repeatable searches shift to shift.

Single-pulse survey mode: A rapid survey setting helps officers quickly review suspicious areas at low dose before taking a detailed exposure.
