PureTech Implements PTZ Auto Follow Capability in FLIR Thermal Cameras

PureTech Systems Incorporated, one of the leading manufacturers of video analytic software, just announced that it has officially teamed up with FLIR to enable PTZ Auto Follow capability on FLIR's range of high-performance thermal cameras. When joined with FLIR's PTZ camera series, PureTech's PTZ Auto Follow capability will provide a powerful addition to a facility's perimeter thermal security.

PureTech's PTZ Auto Follow capability currently allows a CCTV camera to independently follow a desired target, while the software continuously identifies the target and adjusts the pan, tilt and zoom of the camera accordingly in order to keep the target centered in the camera's field of view.

PureTech now takes this feature to a whole new level by capitalizing on the advantages provided by the FLIR thermal camera line to auto follow in conditions of low light, no light, haze, smog, sunrise/sunset, low contrast scenes or precipitation. In addition to that, the feature is also designed to follow many target types, including cars, people, trucks and boats and can also be initiated in a plethora ways including a cue from a video management system, a video analytics device, an intelligent fence, access control system, GPS or radar.

The PTZ Auto Follow capability, which has been optimized for FLIR's thermal sensor and pan-tilt mechanism, also has the added flexibility to be deployed as a server-based installation or an edge device using PureTech's Scene Analyzer. In addition the PTZ Auto Follow capability can be supported via PSIM and VMS systems including PureTech's PureActive.

In a statement from Vice President of Security and Surveillance at FLIR Systems Bill Klink, "In cooperation with PureTech Systems, we've created a force multiplier for our customers, allowing hands-free control of our cameras during an intrusion event." Larry Young, Vice President of Business Development at PureTech added, "Our role in the security market is to not only enable cameras to detect intrusions with high accuracy and low false alarm rates, but also to help make the life of the security personnel a little easier. Allowing the camera to automatically follow a target without operator interaction allows first responders to react in a more efficient and timely manner."

New Thermal Analytics Processor from VideoIQ and FLIR

VideoIQ has just recently partnered with FLIR to create a premium solution in order to provide analytics, edge NVR storage and IP video encoding that is optimized for FLIR's high-performance thermal camera range. The Thermal Analytics Processor, when combined with FLIR's SR Series or F Series of cameras, will create an effective and affordable solution for perimeter thermal security.

The Thermal Analytics Processor uses VideoIQ's new proprietary FLIR Mode analytics which is specifically tuned to get the most out of FLIR's high-resolution thermal imaging cameras. The Analytics Processor, when paired with FLIR's thermal cameras, allows you to automatically classify detected objects as either people, vehicles or boats with absolutely no calibration.

The Thermal Analytics Processor provides 160GB of on-board NVR storage which eliminates the need to stream images to a central NVR and also reduces network traffic and bandwidth by as much as 90%. This processor makes FLIR's cameras plug-and-play compatible with existing IP networks too by automatically encoding analog video from a FLIR camera into an IP video signal. In addition to that, the processor also supports integration with multiple VMS systems including Genetec, Milestone, ONSSI, Lenel and VideoIQ View.

According to a statement from Vice President of Security and Surveillance at FLIR Systems Bill Klink, "In partnership with VideoIQ, we've created the most effective and affordable off-the-shelf solution for security detection, analysis, alarming, recording and notification."

Ed Bednarcik, President and CEO of VideoIQ added, "By working with FLIR, we've developed the most scalable and accurate zero light surveillance solution available on the market for critical infrastructure, government and transportation customers, whether they're deploying a single camera in a remote location or hundreds of cameras to protect a large facility."
