New PTZ Dome Camera Line from Siqura

Siqura B.V. just recently announced the release of an advanced PTZ dome camera line that is capable of withstanding some of the harshest environments.

Thanks to pressurized dome housings, the new camera line ensures airtight protection against excessive moisture, dirt and even pollution. This type of protection makes this camera line perfect for situations like seaports and highway tunnels, areas where corrosive elements in the atmosphere can greatly affect the performance of a surveillance system and cause unnecessary risks to both safety and security.

These cameras have an IP67 Ingress Protection rating and the housing is constructed of materials designed to withstand intense levels of solar heat. In addition to that, pressurizing the house also prevents moisture, pollution and dust from damaging the camera and its internal components.

The Siqura pressurized PTZ dome camera series includes analog and IP options as well. These cameras make precision and expediency a priority thanks to their 400 degree per second preset positioning capabilities, 26x or 35x autofocus zoom lens and 12x digital zoom. Surveillance conditions can vary widely, even for just one camera. That is why these cameras also include day/night (IR-cut) filter and backlight compensations standard, both of which can be applied manually or automatically when lighting conditions call for it. The wide dynamic functionality also ensures excellent video quality, even in the most difficult situations.

In addition to that, each of these cameras is capable of quad-streaming and supporting dual H.264 streams as well as two highly configurable MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or MJPEG encoders. This makes it easy for these cameras to offer the best quality video while simultaneously streaming network performance. In addition to that, it facilitates a wide range of migration paths within IP networks.

Every Siqura IP camera is designed to comply with worldwide adopted standards and is tested with leading VMS vendors. This makes it possible to easily integrate these cameras with a plethora of third-party systems. These cameras also come with an easy-to-use, access-controlled, Web-based user interface that allows users to configure or view video streams from a computer or mobile device.

Cisco Unveils New Security Camera Network Technology

Cisco Systems Incorporated recently debuted some new technology for use in conjunction with security cameras and video footage at a recent trade show in Florida. Cisco, based in San Jose, California, is aiming its new software toward banks and other businesses that may need to build network-based security systems.

Cisco has increased its video surveillance manager products in order for the company to be able to handle as many as 120 terabytes of storage. In addition to that, the company has also brought out products that are designed to improve communication between employees and emergency personnel who may be using different types of radios or cameras.

Internet protocol cameras on a security network can be remotely configured as soon as they are linked to a network. In addition to that, they can also be remotely tested in case there is ever a problem that arises with them. These features, as well as many others, make it much easier for a company to have security camera networks at their buildings. By being able to remotely handle many tasks, you limit the need to call customer support or have a technician come out and fix the problem for you, saving you time and money.

This is sort of a new business venture for Cisco, a company that usually focuses more on hardware than network technology services. However, Cisco does have a good track record of making products that work and security camera network technology is certainly a rapidly growing industry. I'm sure whatever Cisco throws into the mix will do just fine amongst the competition.

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."
