SightLogix and Videotec develop real-time thermal detection and assessment solution

The manufacturer of thermal cameras for detection and intrusion applications has integrated its SightTracker thermal devices and smart controller with Videotec's Ulisse Compact HD PTZ camera to offer an advanced real-time security solution for detecting, track and evaluate outdoor intrusions.

With the integration of the SightTracker driver SightLogix Ulisse Compact HD PTZ camera Videotec not only is a reliable combined detection and intrusion solution offered, but has been improved from the support of Videotec analog devices to also control this manufacturer's PTZ network cameras using the Onvif S profile.

When used in conjunction with SightLogix's smart thermal cameras, customers can detect intruders or assess incidents very accurately in large areas and instantly check the high-quality HD video lenses of the compact domes of Videotec's Ulisse cameras.

John Romanowich, President and CEO of SightLogix, says that "by integrating our powerful smart camera with Videotec's PTZ camcorder, customers get an impressive real-time detection solution along with the vital details they need to make the best security decisions".

As this manager explains, SightTracker "solves the challenge of an operator trying to manually locate an outdoor lens using a PTZ camera".

To do this, uses GPS-based target information provided by a SightSensor's associated detection camera to automatically guide PTZ Ulisse cameras to the precise location of detected targets and zoom in for more detail, without human intervention.

Targets are visually displayed in the customer's video management system, while your GPS location is presented on a SightMonitor topology map. The result is a comprehensive intrusion detection solution that provides the 'what' and 'where' of an intrusion to make quick decisions, while capturing the event for evidence.

SightLogix and Videotec's integrated solution has already been successfully tested, based on company data, as in the case of an oil refinery, where fixed SightSensor thermal cameras provide long-range detection around the perimeter of this facility, while SightTrackers automatically controls Videotec's Ulisse PTZ cameras with infrared illuminators to illuminate the lens.
