The Optera range of panoramic cameras from Pelco by Schneider Electric, pictured, as well as the firm’s Spectra Enhanced PTZ domes are now compatible with the latest version of the Genetec, Security Center, 5.3 (SR3) management software.
Jonathan Lewit, Director of Business Application at Pelco by Schneider Electric, said: “This certification and integration gives our joint customers two more options for clear, state-of-the-art video images. These integrations provide security professionals with better situational awareness by leveraging the panomersive experience and the full analytics capabilities in both Optera and Spectra Enhanced cameras.”
The new version of Security Center offers motion detection responses, with motion indicator bars now visible in the Security Desk timeline. The 5.3 version also features the Canadian developers say simplified tools for security investigations, such as support of presets, the ability to display multiple cameras simultaneously, and sharing of select Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) data.
The 5.3 integration with Optera enables a separate view of a continuous panorama in a single cell. This feature is the first of its kind in the industry, the companies say.
The Optera series delivers a single view of a panoramic, 180 degree scene, from four 3MP image sensors. With full ePTZ on live and playback video, Optera provides stitched and blended panoramic views for situational awareness. SureVision 2.0 image processing and Anti-Bloom technologies enable, Pelco adds, image quality in the most challenging of lighting conditions, without ever leaving true wide dynamic range (WDR) imaging.
Lewit added: “These releases further strengthen the tight relationship between Pelco and Genetec Inc. with mutual dedication to an integrated product offering and the highest industry standards that each require of their products.”
