At IFSEC 2017, Pelco by Schneider Electric is showing new cameras at stand D800. The company’s ExSite Explosion-Proof Cameras, pictured, are engineered to survive in the most demanding sites, according to the company; and Optera Panoramic Multi-Sensor Cameras are integrated with VMS (video management software) providers to deliver panomersive HD imaging.
Kevin Saldanha, Director Product Management, Pelco by Schneider Electric, said: “Where Pelco imaging technology was perhaps a step behind the competition, we are clearly taking the lead once again with new solutions like our ExSite Enhanced Explosion-Proof Cameras and Optera Panoramic Multi-Sensor Cameras. ExSite Enhanced cameras are engineered to survive like no other with a virtually indestructible housing built to eliminate the possibility of electrical discharge which can cause explosions in some environments. And our Optera panoramic cameras make multi-sensor panoramic cameras ideal for mainstream use with the right combination of performance, reliability, cost-efficiency and now VMS compatibility. We’ve got it all covered!”
The ExSite cameras’ robotically welded water- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing meets the NEMA Type 4X standard for use in extreme areas such as oil and gas facilities, chemical plants and manufacturing. Its patent-pending direct drive pan-tilt system is devoid of belts, gears or pulleys to eliminate stray electrical discharge while providing physical integrity. They also feature Pelco’s SureVision technology to capture images in difficult lighting where highly contrasted lighting sources exist within the same scene. Other features include anti-bloom, 3D noise filtering, and tone mapping for colour accuracy.
Optera Panoramic Multi-Sensor Cameras provide stitched, blended 360 degree, 270 degree and 180 degree panoramic views with electronic PTZ across the panoramic image for wide area surveillance and scene analysis. Featuring Pelco’s SureVision technology, Optera Panoramic Multi-Sensor Cameras capture images in difficult lighting the makers say where highly contrasted lighting sources exist within the same scene. The Opteras also feature ‘Smart Compression’, which reduces bitrate usage, resulting in up to 70 per cent savings on storage it is claimed. The Optera Panoramic Multi-Sensor Cameras are integrated with over 20 VMS products, including exacqVision, Genetic, Milestone, OnSSI, Vista, Verint and Qognify.
Also from Pelco at IFSEC:
Esprit Enhanced HD PTZ Cameras, which now include SureVision with 130dB of True WDR (wide dynamic range) and low-light performance up to 20 times better than previous Esprit HD PTZ Camera models, the makers say. Built with Pelco’s Esprit Series positioning system, these pan/tilt cameras offer full HD 1080p 30x optical zoom. Esprit Enhanced cameras are available with standard or pressurized optical zoom modules for outdoor use.
Sarix Enhanced IP Cameras feature pre-loaded analytics on every model, and are compatible with Pelco VMS as well as third-party VMS partners that support Pelco’s open API.
