Security Sales & Integration’s Top 30 Technology Innovations of 2015
Pelco has put more than lip service behind its “Back in Blue” battle cry these days by introducing an improvement to immersive video product applications with the Optera Series cameras. The most noticeable improvement is the “seamlessness” stitching of multiple megapixel imagers and quality of the video they deliver to the viewer. The blending of the video allows for a more intuitive and natural feel for situational awareness for operators. In the past, the category of “pano-immersive” video had challenges with sensor alignment that confounded installation technicians and gaps or quirky video angles that felt “Twilight Zone”-ish. The product has expanded the wide dynamic performance window in challenging low light conditions. Pelco has been back to the drawing board on its approach to designing software as the leading product solution set vs. days of old hardware solution sets. The 12.5ips at full resolution with up to 12-megapixel performance married with up to eight analytic tools and ONVIF Profile S & G compliance help make this product a winner. — Boucherle
